High Farming with Fertilizers 
It is an inspiration to all lovers of profitable agriculture to read the Mapes 
pamphlets. Professor Mapes has long exerted a powerful influence in behalf of better 
agriculture and more profitable farming in the Middle and New England States, and 
also at the South. His annual pamphlets are always full of meat, “horse sense,” 
and the practical experience of farmers, fruit growers, market gardeners and others 
who continue to use the Mapes manures year after year because it pays them to do so. 
All this is an instance of the well-known fact that the party or concern which 
persists in making only goods of the very highest grade will, in time, acquire a trade 
and reputation that nothing can break down. Acting on this plan, Professor Mapes has 
constantly utilized all the teachings of science and experience, in the preparation and use 
of the Mapes complete manures. Their basis is genuine pure Peruvian guano and pure 
animal bone, made soluble and available without objectionable acidity, and all the 
ammonia is fixed. There is no loss from exposure or in keeping. 
The remarkable results in yield, quality and profits obtained by those who use 
the Mapes manures most liberally and intelligently, are best set forth in the Mapes 
pamphlets for 1902, copies of which will be sent free to anyone who drops a line to the 
Mapes Company, 143 Liberty Street, New York. These books set forth the method 
and results obtained. One truck faimer paid $13,000 last year for the IVIapes high grade 
manures, another market gardener bought $10,500 worth, and others have got rich by 
using these fertilizers for years. Fifteen prominent fruit growers each bought an 
average last year of $2200 worth of Mapes fruit manures. Some farmers 
com, lam that these goods are high priced, and cannot be bought on as easy terms 
or long time as some other goods, but this is because Prof. Mapes believes in putting 
the utmost value into his manures. 
That the Mapes Manures are worth what they sell for is abundantly demonstrated 
by the experience of thousands of satisfied farmers. W^hether you use fertilizers or not 
you will be benefited by reading the Mapes pamphlets, which are of genuine value 
as agricultural literature.

COPY OF CARD ISSUED BY ONE OF OUR AGENTS. 
I have be en the Mtipes a gent a t J a eks°n v ill e f° r tw en ty-five ye ar s. In that time I have sold probably two millions of 
dollars of their goods They have been distributed to almost every hamlet in the State. Their name is a household word with 
every farmer and fruit grower. The results of their use can be found in every neighborhood. I have dealt largely in groceries 
gram flour, etc. In my long experience in those lines, I have had thousands of complaints of every kind from Pillsburv's 
flour down to cotton seed hulls, but I cannot remember of ever having a complaint that the Mapes Manures were not just 
what they claimed to be, and it is a great pleasure to handle them. They have fattened thousands of pockethooks all over the 
State. I hey are the only brands that command cash. Agents have written us hundreds of times, “If I could only sell vour 
goods on time, same as other fertilizers are sold, I could do nearly all the fertilizer business in the place.”—J R T,sen aLi

THE MAPES POTATO MANURE. 
During the past trying season ( 1901 ) the superiority of the Mapes Potato Manure o /ertlie lower priced “ cheaper ” fort Hirer, 
was clearly demonstrated While the yields were below the average of other years, they were large enough with the good unices 
obtained to make very satisfactory returns to the growers. The GREATER CERTAINTY of action of a manure like the Manes 
Poiato, as compared with a mixture of dissolved rock, muriate of potash, tankage or nitrate of soda, is the presence of so nv
