No sails of Potash combined with Chlorine are used In any of the above Manures for Tobacco, Potatoes, or Fruits (excepting the Peach Tree Manure). 
It will be noted that In the above Manures there Is a range of composition that enables the grower to select a grade suitable to almost any want; Ammonia from| 3.00 to 8.58 per cent. Phosphoric Acid from 5.42 to 
mil per cent, (nearly all soluble and available), Potash from 8.00 to 11.92 per cent, and free from Chlorine for use on Tobacco. Potatoes nud Fruits. 
For comparison In strength between the Mapes Manures and other brands, see pages 39 and 40 In t lie Mapes Pamphlet. 1 SStt. 
All of the Mapes Manures are ltt pry, flue mechanical condition, and at the same time contain more soluble and available plant lood In n ton than any other special crop, complete manures, or any superphos 
phates made, and pound for pound will go over more ground and prove more effective than If moist, coarse or sticky. 
Full Directions for use plainly printed on tag attached to each rag (200 lbs each). 
The Mapes Manures do not deteriorate with age The Ammonia Is all “ fixed.” 
The Phosphoric Acid and Potash contained will last In the soli until used up by Ibe crops, for thirty years and over. 
The basis of all of the above manures is Bone—no Rock used. All the materials used are of the very best kinds known t o science and practice. 
THE MAPES MANURES ARE TRUE MANURES, NOT STIMULANTS. 
By the continued use of the Mapes Complete Manures. In some cases for 10,12 and 15 years. Farmers, Truck and Fruit Growers report their land ns having steadily improved In condition, and their Crops double and 
those formerly grown ; also aualltv of crops greatly Improved ami profits largely Increased.
