Ufany of the largest and most successful Truckers and Growers of these crops In New Jersey, Long; Island, 
Pennsvlvania, ]Vew England and Western States use tlie MAPE8 SPECIAL CROP mAIVURLS lO 1 HE 
EXCLUSION ot PURCHASED STABLE MANURE. 
Cabbages—Out of 150,000 cabbage plants not more thanl,000were not out. 
— Messrs. Y’REFLAND & CO., the well-known truekeis at Greenville, N. Y„ report, October 4th, 1888, 
on second year’s experience : 
We have been well pleased with the Mapes Vegetable and Cabbage Manures this past season. Our crops 
have been and are at present fully up to our expectations. 
We set out 150,000 cabbage plants. 
Early Wakefield 15 Inches apart and Flat Dutch 20 Inches apart, both In rows two feet apart. 
We applied 1,500 to 2,000 lbs. of the Mapes Manure per acre, one half broadcast and harrowed In and the 
other half hoed In at first hoeing. 
out of the 150,000 Cabbage plants not more than 1,000 were not cut, and there were not more than 1,500 culls 
out of the entire number (150,000). 
We grow Cabbages on same-land, year after year. 
We used your Manures alone and with stable manure, and we see no reason why your Manure cannot be 
used entirely as a substitute for stable manure. 
We have sixteen acres of Celery that looks remarkably fine, and this was planted after Spinach and Lettuce 
raised with your Vegetable Manure, no additional Manure used. 
We had good success with Early Cauliflower with your Manure. 
Bringing up the land—Potatoes, Cauliflowers, etc. 
ROBINSON GORDON, Manorville, L. 1., (who has bought the Mapes Manures since 1878), Sep¬ 
tember 11th, 1388, reports: 
X used 27 bags of your Potato Manure on S}4 acres, on land that never has been considered good enough to 
raise potatoes, and they had nothing more than ordinary field culture. The Potatoes were of excellent quality 
and very smooth. Yield of marketable potatoes 1,060 bushels. 
From 2)6 acres, with 20 bags of your Cabbage and Cauliflower Manure, 1 sold 470 barrels Cauliflower which 
netted me just #500, clear of freight and commissions. 
I had 88 acres in Potatoes, Corn, Rye, Wheat, Oats, Buckwheat, Peas for seed, Hay, Cauliflower and Vegeta¬ 
bles, and 1 used your Manures (some 15 tons) on all my crops. 
I have found by several years’ experience that the easiest and cheapest way to bring worn out fields to the 
best of fertility, and keep good land growing better, Is by using Manure like yours. I have used the Mapes 
Manures exclusively. 
Cabbages—Not more than ICO in 8,000 failed to make Good Beads.—Green Peas: 889)4 Bushels per Acre ; 
Extra Prices Obtained.—Green Corn: 87,500 Ears Sold from 2)6 acres; Took First Premium at Monroe County 
Agricultural Fair. 
R. YV. SCUYVAR7-, Analouiink, Monroe Co., Penn., November 17th, 1888, reports : 
Cabbages : With farm and stable manure alone I have too much loss with cabbage from maggots and club 
root. The past season was favorable for cabbage, and I had the best crop I ever raised. There were not more 
than 100 out of 8,000 that failed to make good, salable heads. Used 1,600 lbs. of the Mapes Cabbage Manure and 
400 lbs. of Bone, harrowed In with Acme harrow. Stable manure, 15 tons, ploughed under. 
Sweet Corn: Applied only the Mapes Corn Manure, 1,600 lbs. per acre, around the hill with a fertilizer 
dropper at time of planting, and again at last cultivation. Yield, 37,500 salable ears on 2)6 acres. 1 
had no nubbins whatever. I had 100 hills of the Squantum variety which had from nine to 12 ears 
per hill. Besides the 87,500 ears sold there were 6,000 or more ears left on the stalks for want of 
profitable sale. 
■•TOOK FIRST PREMIUM AT MONROE COUNTY AGRICULTURAL FAIR on almost all my vegetables 
raised with TIIE MAPES MANURES, and this with very brisk competition.” 
Mr. Schwarz reported last year : 
This field has had nothing but the Mapes and Bone for the past fifteen years, and has been planted to 
corn since 1879, excepting years 1884 and ’85, when it was planted to general truck. 
DAVID KUEHN, Highland Truck Farm, Allentown, Pa., reports: 
With your manure our crops are better, and land in better condition than ever, and our crops only cost 
about one-half as much as with purchased stable mauure. 
Out of 40,000 cabbages, with 1,500 lbs. per acre of your Cabbage Manure and a light dressing of barnyard 
manure, at least 97 in every 100 were salable cabbages. I believe your Manures are the cheapest in America.
