THE RURAL WEW-YORICER 
SOME REPORTS FROM PRACTICAL GROWERS. 
(!. A. VALENTINE, .Hilton, N. 1 writes, January nth, 1S47, as follows; 
“For the past 15 years I have grown most of the small fruits, and have invariably found that good, strong feed would produce strong re¬ 
sults iu the shajte 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 12 years past I have used your Special Fertilizers, anil 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 plauts, 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 second hoeing 
“It is conceded by all fruit-growers in this section at the present day, that the time for high prices for common fruit has passed, and that 
hereaftnr quality and not 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, and, necessarily, superior fruit.” 
A. W. WILLIAMS, llighlund, N. Y., writes, under date of January lilt, 1887, as follows; 
“We have a vineyard of upwards of twelve hundred vines, very difficult of access for applying stable manure. Have applied one ton of 
the Mtqtcs Fruit and Vine Manure lor three successive years, at a cost of *42 per year. We observe that the vines make as strong growth and 
fruit, as abundantly as when 24 tons of stable manure were used every year at an annual cost of $60.” 
It. T. SCHWARZ, Aualomiuk, l’a., January 3t1,lSH7, writes as follow.*; 
“Ou a two-year-old Strawberry-bed of one and two-third acre, [ applied, broadcast, just before a rain, the Mapes Fruit and Vine Manure 
at the rate of 000 pounds per acre. The Spring was somewhat 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 ben vara, and on 
much of my land never used any other fertilizer, excepting muck aud green rye plowed under. My land is, bo-dav, in consequence of a liberal 
ase of the Mapes Manures, in splendid order, and will produce anything. This evidently explodes the old idea that: your fertilizers stimulate for 
awhile, aud leaves the soil exhausted. Many phosphates are sold hereabouts for $25 per ton, delivered, but I would rather have one bag of your 
brand, which have proveu themselves to be pure, than five of those compositions.”
