THE MAPES SPECIAL CROP MANURES. 
FOR POTATOES, VEGETABLES, FRUITS, CRASS, TOP-DRESSING, ETC. 
CONCLUSIONS FROM PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE , IN SOME CASES OVER TEN YEARS, BY WELL KNOWN AUTHORITIES. 
“Under average conditions and in far the greater number of cases we do not 
hesitate to name the Mapes Potato Manure as the best and most profitable fer¬ 
tilizer for potatoes.”— American Agriculturist. 
“The Mapes Potato Manure is certainly as good a fertilizer for the Crops as we 
can expect to find.”— J. T. Lovett , Orchard, and Garden. 
“Its action approaches certainty, or as near it as any manure can be expect¬ 
ed to do.— E. S. Carman, Rural New-Yorker. 
‘Our own experience with various commercial fertilizers has convinced us that 
with judicious use of the Mapes Manures worn out lands can be restored to fer¬ 
tility quicker and with less expense, than in any other way.”— American 
Agriculturist. 
“While the Mapes Fertilizers are high in price, I have found by three years’ 
trial that they are very effective both in corn and potatoes. I know of none more 
so.”— Wilmer Atkinson , Farm Journal. 
The Mapes IKidi Grade Manures are the HIGHEST GRADE and BEST ever made. See OFFICIAL 
ANALYSES hy the State Agricultural Stations, also COMPOSITION of the Mapes Manures, in pamphlet. 
The grower can select the manure that will supply Ammonia, Phosphoric Acid and Potash in al¬ 
most ANY DESIRED PROPORTIONS and all in the best VARIED FORMS. 
THE FOLLOWING BRANDS INCLUDE A RANGE OF 
Ammonia, from 7.50 per cent, to 2 per cent.—Phosphoric Acid, from 14.00 per cent, to 4 % per cent. 
Potash Soluble, from 11.00 per cent, to 2% per cent.

The above are minimum guaranties and are found to be invariably largely exceeded by the analyses of these manures by the Agricultural Stations; never more largely 
than in the fifty samples reported upon by the Stations during the past year—1887. In the Tobacco, Potato, and Fruit Manures the potash is practically free from .hlorine.
