Cabbages (15 acres), Potatoes, etc. 
CIIAS. COLLINS, Queens Co., N.Y., November 23, 1885, writes: 
T used five tons of your Potato Manure and raised five hundred and. thirty barrels 
of the largest and best potatoes that went into New York market. There is nothing in 
the market to beat your Potato Manure that I know of. I planted fifteen acres of cab¬ 
bage. using one thousand pounds of Mapcs’ Cabbage Manure to the acre, alongside of 
stable manure, and using both pretty heavily. Where your manure was used, turned 
out the best cabbage. They were the largest and solidest. Your Corn Manure has 
given good satisfaction. 
1,000 barrels Cauliflower* from four acres.—Used Mapes 1 eight, years.—Land improved. 
WM. H. TUTHlfiL, Suffolk Co., L. I., N. Y., November, 1885, writes: 
I have used the Mapcs Manures for eight years with uniform good results, having, 
when seasou is at all favorable, excellent crops. My potatoes are a very good crop this 
season. My cauliflower crop was very fine. I shall ship to my commission, men over 
1,000 barrels from 4 acres. Wherever Mapes’ Manures have been used on my farm I al¬ 
ways see, in after crops, the lasting effects, and firmly believe that my land has been 
improved by the use of Mapes’ Manures. 
921 Barrels Cauliflowers ($1,247) from 4% acres.—“Believe if I had used the Mapes on 
the other h acre, instead of another brand, that I should have realised $100 more from 
the piece." 
I. ASBURY TUTHILL, Suffolk Oo, November, 1885, writes: 
Used the Mapes Manure on potatoes and cauliflowers. 
Used 3 tons of the Cauliflower Manure on 4 acres; harj 4% acres in cauliflowers; on 
the % acre used another brand; sold 921 barrels ($1,247) from the 4% acres; believe if 
I had used Mapes on the other % acre, instead of another brand, 1 should have realized 
$100 more from the piece. 
Have used the Mapes since they were first introduced here and have never failed to 
get a good crop since I used them. 1 am a strong believer in the Mapes Complete 
Manure for large profits and lasting results from their use. 
Now is the time to Top Dress Grass Lands and Lawns, Fruit trees—Strawberry beds.

HOW TO 
BUY FERTILIZERS. 
Will the farmers take a suggestion from a 
manufacturer ou this point? 
First ,—Buy fertilizers according to your 
wants. 
Second ,—According to their strength, 
Third, —According to their solubility; 
for the strength, solubility and forms of plant, 
food best suited to the crop which you intend 
to grow, have more influence on the crop for 
the first sixty days than at any other period 
of its growth, 
A calf that is stinted for the first two 
months is stunted for life; so a crop which is 
stinted for the first few weeks by not having 
the right form of plant food in an available 
condition, is usually a failure. 
Please read and compare the analyses of 
the following fertilizers, At the prices 
quoted, one is as cheap as the other , so far as 
strength is concerned, but in their adaptabil¬ 
ity, cost of handling and applying, the first 
is cheaper than the second, and both are 
cheaper than the third.
