WHAT AUTHORITIES. SOME WITH LONG PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE, SAY: 
“The Mapes fertilizers, though higher in price than some otheis, are scientifically, care¬ 
fully and honestly made. In the use of them, we are always pretty sure of good results. We 
use them every year and have not been disappointed in their action (May. 1838). They seem 
to go right to the spot and stay there better than any other sort we have used. We get most 
excellent results in both corn and potatoes.” (May, 1888).— Wilmer Atkinson , Farm Journal. 
“ 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 fertilizer 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. 
Special low freight rates effected to distant 
THE MAPES FORMULA AND PERUVIAN 
“ Its action Approaches Certainty, or as near it as any manure can be expected to do.”— 
E. S. Carman, Rural New- Yorker. 
“ Our own experience with various commercial fertilizers has convinced us that with judi¬ 
cious use of the Mapes Manures worn out lands can be Restored to Fertility Quicker and 
with Less Expense than in any other way.” 
“The remarkable success which has attended the Mapes fertilizers has given them an 
enviable reputation and standing, not only in the United States and Provinces, but in Oreat 
Britain and oth°r European countries.”— American Agriculturist,
