SOME REPORT'S PROM PRACTICAL. GROWERS. 
C. A. VALENTINE. Milton, N. Y.. writes. January nth, 1887, as follows: 
“For the past 15 years I have grown most of the small fruits, and have invariably found that good, strong food would produce strong re¬ 
sults in the shape of fruit, provided that the food applied was in the proper condition to produce healthy growth of wood, and. consequently, 
strong fruit buds, which green stable manure cannot possibly make. For 13 years past I have used your Special Fertilizers, and have always 
been well satisfied with results. My mode of application has been, for Raspberries, Currants, Grapes, etc., to sow broadcast between the rows 
and well worked in for shallow cultivation. For Strawberries, I find the best way is to make the drill or furrow for the plants, then apply the 
fertilizer, thoroughly incorporated with the soil, and then set the plauts. It is also well with Strawberries to give a lighter application to the 
surface at the seen ml hoeing 
“It is conceded by all fruit-growers in this section at the preseut day, that the time for high prices for common fruit has passed, aud that 
hereafter quality and Dot quantity will be the test, and just here is where your fertilizer will certainly excel, in producing a fine, hardy and 
healthy growth of wood, and, consequently, strong, well-developed buds, aud. necessarily, superior fruit.” 
A. W. WILLIAMS, II Ighlaud, N. Y,» writes, under date of January ith, lfW7. as follows: 
“We have a vineyard of upwards of twelve hundred vines, very difficult of access for applying stable manure. Have applied oue ton of 
the Mupes Fruit and Vine Manure for throe successive years, at a cost of $42 per year. We observe that the vines make as strong growth and 
fruit- as abundant ly as when 24 tons of stable manure were used every yeur at an annual cost of f(50.” 
R. T. SCHWA ItSC, Aualomtnk, Fa., January Htl.WT, writes us follows. 
“On a two-year-old Strawberry-bed of oue and two-third acre, 1 applied, broadcast, just, before a rain, the Mapes Fruit and Vine Manure 
at the rate of fiOO pounds per acre. The Spring was some what too cold for the favorable growing of Strawberries, but, notwithstanding this 
drawback, the piece yielded me Four Thousand Three Hundred Quarts. I have now used the Mapes Manures for nine or ten years, aud on 
much of mv land never used any other fertilizer, excepting muck and green rye plowed under. My land is, to-day, in consequence of a liberal 
use of the Mapes Manures, in splendid order, ami will produce auything. This evidently explodes the old idea that your fertilizers stimulate for 
awhile, and leaves the soil exhausted- Many phosphates are sold hereabouts for $25 per ton, delivered, but 1 would rather have oue bag of your 
brand, which have proven themselves to be pure, than five of those compositions.”
