The Mapes Manures at the Agricultural State 
Experiment Stations. 
The Mapes Fertilizers have long been recognized as the standard in 
quality. Mr. Mapes, like his father, Prof. Mapes, before him. has been a 
leader in developing the manufacture of fertilizers of the highest grade. 
He believes that the best fertilizers are the cheapest, and demonstrates this 
by the analyses of his goods, not only for the present year, but for a long 
series of years. In every case the Mapes fertilizers are found to contain 
even more actual plant food than is stated in their guarantee, so that they 
can always be depended upon to give value received. It will he noticed that 
the difference between average cost and chemist’s valuation of these goods is 
only half as much as with the ordinary fertilizers .—American Agriculturist. 
Mr. Mapes stands high in the ranks of agricultural chemists and his 
work, still actively carried on. has been one of infinite value to the tillers 
of the soil. He has been a prolific writer on these topics both in the agri¬ 
cultural press and in pamphlets, and it is no exaggeration to say that agri¬ 
culture is deeply indebted to him. In addition to the universal endorsement 
by practical farmers and gardeners the Mapes Manures stand at the head 
in the fertilizer tests of the Connecticut and other experiment stations. 
The advice of the principal lights of the agricultural world in this section 
points significantly to the use of the Mapes Manures for certainty, economy 
and profit. They are made up of honest materials and directed by skill and 
experience covering two generations of scientific research and practical 
cultivation. The field test is always superior to the laboratory test.— p|

The Mapes Fertilizers produce LARGE YIELDS of ||| 
HIGHEST QUALITY and the land CONSTANTLY CROW¬ 
ING STRONGER. OVER 30 YEARS’ EXPERIENCE. 
Dr. F. M. Hkxamkh says in the American Agriculturist, March 5, 1898: 
Fertilizers do not exhaust the soil provided high grade goods are prop¬ 
erly used. This is the testimony of thousands of farmers who have 
employed fertilizers freely for many years. The facts are set forth in a 
very practical and convincing way in the new pamphlet published by the 
Mapes Formula and Peruvian Guano Company, and entitled “ Farming, 
Fruit and Tobacco Growing up to Date.” It shows that by the use of the 
Mapes Manures of highest quality large yields 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 thirty years, has always shown the Mapes fertilizex-s 
to be invariably satisfactory, on the truck farm and in the garden, as well 
as in the field, orchard and meadow. The pamphlet referred to is beauti¬ 
fully illustrated, contains the results of the successful practical experience 
of many users of fertilizers. 
MAPES POTATO MANURE. 
“Under average conditions, and in far the greater number of eases, we do not hesitate to name the Mapes Potato Manure as the best and most 
profitable fertilizer for potatoes .”—American Agriculturist. 
“ Its action approaches certainty, or as near to it as any manure can he expected to do." E. S. Carman , Rural Nkw-1 orkkr. 
The American Agriculturist in commenting on these enormous yields with the Mapes Potato Manure, in comparison with other brands in the great 
Prize Contest, stated: “ Apparently, it is not so much the quantity, but the forms in which the plant-food is furnished that govern the yield, provided a 
reasonable amount is supplied.” 
“ The advantage of the Mapes is that it goes in a straight line right to the spot. We never miss getting a car-load for our orchard.’ 
“ We have been using the Mapes Potato Manure for eight years; indeed, we do not care to use anything else for potatoes, and have never been 
disappointed yet. We do not have scabby potatoes as we used to with stable manure.”— Wilrner Atkinson, Farm Journal. 
[The Practical Farmer on the Mapes Potato Manure in the Prize Potato Contest.] 
“ During the past five years there has scarcely been a recognized authority on potato growing who has not stated as a result of practical experience 
that a commercial fertilizer like the Mapes Potato Manure excelled stable manure in Economy and in the Yield and Quality of potatoes. 
Mr. Carman states in Rural New-Yorker, December 2, 1896, that he has used the Mapes Potato Manure for Seventeen Years. 
We will cheerfully mall fr</e any pamphlets, etc., we may have

bearing on any crops desired.
