THE MAPES COMPLETE MANURES 
Permanence and Certainty Combined in the Complete Mapes Manures. 
(From the Rural New-Yorker, March 17, 1900.) 
Twenty Years After.—There are still some farmers who undertake to argue that fertilizers are not lasting in their effects. All such farm¬ 
ers should read Twenty Years After, a pamphlet just issued by the Mapes Fertilizer Company, 143 Liberty Street, New York City. This pam¬ 
phlet tells the story of a farm in Connecticut on which fertilizers have been exclusively used for 20 years. While practically all other farm 
methods have been changed on this farm, “twenty years after” finds the farmer still using the same fertilizer in the same way. A piece of land 
as poor “as ever lay outdoors” was brought back to usefulness, and profit, yb the use of the MAPES HIGH-GRADE MANURES. It is a true 
story, we will vouch for that, and one that will put new heart into every fertilizer farmer. One would suppose that a 20-year test is long 
enough to establish the value of chemical fertilizers, and here we have the best. The pamphlet also shows why these high-grade manures give 
results which could not be obtained with super-phosphates or cheap mixtures. 
Farms Constantly Crow Stronger. Experience with Mapes Manures Over 30 Years. 
Dr. F. M. Hexamer, Editor American Agriculturist, March, 1898, writes: 
The testimony of thousands of farmers shows that by the use of MAPES MANURES large yields of the highest quality are obtained, 
while the farms are constantly growing stronger. Indeed, practical results from the use of these fertilizers have been substantial profit, even 
during the past hard times. As we have previously remarked, our own experience, extending through a period of over 30 years, has always 
shown the Mapes fertilizers to be invariably satisfactory on the truck farm and in the garden, as well as in the field, orchard and meadow. 
My Farm is Getting Richer Every Year. 
Wilmer Atkinson, Editor and Proprietor of the Farm Journal, reports on the MAPES MANURES: I do not use stable manure, and my 
farm is getting richer every year. We have found the MAPES MANURES equally good for grass, potatoes, corn and orchard trees. 
Farms Steadily Improved and Crops Doubled. 
(From the New England Homestead.) 
The actual statements from those who have used these high-grade manures demonstrate the truth of the great claim made for the MAPES 
MANURES, viz.: That by their continued use, in some cases for 10, 12 and 15 years, farmers, truck growers and fruit growers report their 
lands as having steadily improved in condition, and their crops as double those formerly grown, while the quality of the crops has greatly im¬ 
proved, and their profits largely increased. 
During the past trying season (1901) the superiority of the Mapes Potato Manure over the lower priced “cheaper” fertilizers was clearly 
demonstrated. While the yields were below the average of other years, they were large enough with the good prices obtained to make very 
satisfactory returns to the rowers. The GREATER CERTAINTY of action of a manure like the Mapes Potato, as compared with a mixture of 
dissolved rock, muriate of potash, tankage or nitrate of soda, is the presence of so many MORE VARIED FORMS, all soluble and available to 
plants, THOROUGHLY BLENDED, free from acidity or ANY OBJECTIONABLE effects on the roots or the soil, securing a full, complete, nor¬ 
mal successive feeding—the same as from the best stable manure—also with greater certainty of results both in QUALITY and QUANTITY of 
product and with steady IMPROVEMENT to the soil.
