Mapes Spring Top-Dressing 
For top"Cir©SSing in spring, all kinds of grass lands, Pastures, Mowing lands. Golf Links, Lawns, etc. Use 
two to three bags per acre broadcast, by hand or machine. On poor land use three bags per acre. Pastures, Timothy, 
etc., apparently worn out, have been brought up into good condition by a single application. Quality of grasses 
greatly improved. 
Restore your Meadows and Grass Lands by Simpiy Top-Dressing. 
It is lasting in effects equally with the best stable manure, but at the same time it is quicker and more effective on 
the crop. Its introduction some years since marked a new era fOI* I'GStorlng graSS lands without plowing. 
This manure corresponds closely in composition with the best stable manure and is from twenty-five to thirty-fold 
more concentrated in soluble and available plant food. Contains no weed seed, no disagreeable odor, requires no skill 
in its use—simply scattering evenly over the surface and working in when practicable. On lawns, grass lands, and 
around fruit and other trees it can be left exposed, the rains will wash it in and no loss of strength will occur through 
exposure to sun, air, etc. 
It is exactly adapted also to the wants of the owner of a small plot for fertilizing lawns, vegetable gardens, 
fruit and ornamental trees, hedges, etc. On vegetable gardens use at the rate of five bags and upward per acre. 
The Mapes Potato Manure. 
I)r. Collier, Director of tlie New York State Agricultural Experiment Station, on the Large Y^iekls of Potatoes Grown Only With the Mapes Manure at 
Rural Farm. Wlio can doubt,” says Dr. Collier, who was one of the judges in the R. N-Y. Potato Contest, “ that the great yield of Potatoes secured at tlie 
rate of 64.’) hu.shels to the acre of one variety, and 1076 bushels of another variety, under the conditions of .soil and climate obtaining in the locality where the 
trial was made, was due wholly to the fertilizers applied and the method of cultivation employed ?” 
NOT A SUPERPHOSPHATE WANTED. 
E. S. Carman, of The Rural New-Yorker, in commenting upon the large yield of Potatoes obtained by him at the Rural karm, and his Irench method and 
the Mapes Potato Manure, concludes : “ Rut we don’t want a ‘ phosphate’ or ‘superphosphate’ or an Ammoniated Superphosphate, or a ‘ Swift.sure,’ or 
anything of the kind. We want a high-grade Potato manure.”
