Sweet Corn, Cabbages, Cauliflowers. 
34,000 Salable ears Sweet Corn from 2 acres.—Season unfavorable. —9,000 Heads of perfect Cabbages—every one good. 
Mr. R. SCHWAll/, Analomink, 14a., January 3d, 1887, reports: 
On two acres of sweet corn T applied a ton of th6 Mapes Corn Manure. The field has had no stable manure and but very little 
of the Mil pcs for the past eight years. The yield from these two acres was 34,000 ears of -salable corn of very good tpiality. The 
Fertilizer was applied in the hill at the the time of plauting, and again at the second hoeing. The season was unfavorable, it being 
too wet. If I had used stable manure the yield might have been 20,000 ears, but would not have been as early and profitable. For 
cabbages I used 800 lbs, of the Mapes Cabbage and" Cauliflower Manure, 200 lbs. of muriate of potash, all applied broadcast and 
thoroughly harrowed in. Ten loads yard manure were plowed under. The result was 9,000 heads of perfect cabbages, of which 
every one was good. My crop of Cauliflowers was similarly treated with the same satisfactorv results 
THE MAPES TOBACCO MANURE 
(CONNECTICUT BRANDi Price 84 per bng 200 (lbs.) 
10,590 pounds Tobacco (Havana Seed) on 4>a acres.—Crop sold in bundle at 13 cents.—Fine quality. 
W. H. SANDERSON, South Deeifield, Mass., under date ef December 2d, 1886, writes as follows: 
This is my first experience with the Mapes Fertilizer, and I am highly pleased with it. The crop (Tobacco Havana Seed) grew 
fast and healthy from the start, and matured early, having nobrindle or calico plants. It was large, fine and ‘mod “burn ” Tt 
the bundle the first week iu November at 13 cents and delivered it the last week in November. 
The above two mauures have always been found by the Connecticut and New Jersey Agricultural Stations to be the Highest 
Grad©, Most Concentrated and Cheapest of all manufactured Special Crop Manures. 
Their manures enrich and permanently improve the soil. They do not waste.
