MAPES POTATO MANURE. 
In the many competitive tests made with the MAPES POTATO MANURE, reported in the af?ri- 
cultural press, as against stable manure, mixtures of chemicals, superphosphates, etc., the ® p 
Potato Manure has been shown to excel all in 
economy, 
Yield in Measured Busliels, 
C^uL^Xity of Crop, 
GREATER CERTAIMTY OF GROWTH DURING DROUGHT. 
The aualitv of the Potatoes grown with the Mapes Manure has led Truck Growers to claimthat 
they “would buT theM apes Potato Manure for Potatoes or Vegetables at double its cost if only for 
the SUPERIOR QUALITY, Freedom from Damage by Grubs, Worms, etc., of the Crops. 
Some Extracts from the .Agricultural Press. 
From the MASSACHUSETTS PLOUGHMAN. 
“Mr. Charles V. Mapes is surpassed by few persons in the results of his close and 
careful studies of agricultural science. The fertilizer question he is complete master 
of being familiar with it, root and branch, from top to bottom. The two leading 
characteristics of the Mapes Manures, which are manufactured according to his for- 
mulas and under his personal direction, are their high quality and their lasting effect 
on the soil. Upon the uninterrupted continuance of these two most important charac¬ 
teristics, Mr. Mapes stakes his entire reputation,” 
From THE COUNTRY GENTLEMAN. 
“The Mapes Formula and Peruvian Guano Company of New York have for some 
vears occupied the highest position as manufacturers of fertilizers and dealers in fer¬ 
tilizing materials. Goods of their brands have stood the test of analyses under State 
authorities, so far as we are aware, invariably to their advantage.” 
From the NEW ENGLAND HOMESTEAD. 
“The Mapes manures are of the highest standard of excellence. All analyses of 
soods made last year (1886)-nbout 30 in number—in the Northern States, show that 
the actual quantity of plant food furnished in the Mapes Manures considerably 
exceeds, on the average, the amount guaranteed to be furu shed. The very small per¬ 
centage of chlorine, which is injurious in a potato, tobacco or fruit fertilizer, when 
present to any considerable extent, is noticeable in Mapes Manures. 
“A thorough acquaintance with Mr. Charles V. Mapes, the Vice-President and 
Manager of this company, has led us to look upon him as one of the most advanced 
students of agricultural science, particularly relating to the fertilizer problem, that 
we have in this country. The superior quality and lasting effects of the Mapes Man¬ 
ures are therefore not to be wondered at, especially when we remember that the high 
quality of his goods asd their practical success are matters of deep personal pride with 
Mr. Mapes. The fact that the Mapes complete manures are used by many experiment 
stations, farms and granges, which desire to employ a complete fertilizer for their 
work in comparison with partial fertilizers or single fertilizing ingredients, is another 
high testimonial of their value.” 
From the AMERICAN DAIRYMAN. 
“The agriculturists of this country are indebted to Mr. Charles V. Mapes, perhaps 
more than to any other man, for he was the inventor and pioneer in the introduction 
I of the special formula fertilizers for various crops and different soils, which have done 
so much to increase the agricultural production of this country.”

T e can gladly recommend it as a first-class implement. Potato growing in the future prom¬
