D. M. Randall, Fruit Lawn Farm, Turner’s Falls, Mass., reports: 
Soo pounds per acre Mapes Fruit and Vine Manure. 6,000 quarts 
Stable Manure (quantity not slated). 5,000 quarts 
Natural soil. . . 200 quarts 
I think your Fruit and Vine Manure the best thing I ever used for small fruits. I have tried 
six different brands of fertilizers the past season. Yours is far ahead. I shall use 2,500 lbs. per 
acre next year.

J. S. Allen, Broad Brook, Conn., reports: I have never had a failure in my Potato crop since 
I have used the Mapes Potato Manure (four years) Four bags to the acre will give me a better 
crop of Potatoes than 30 loads of barnyard manure. The Mapes manures uniformly give me 
better crops than my stock manure, and ihe ellecl seems to be as lasting.

Should understand that it pays to be particular about the 
packages his fruit is marketed in. The baskets and crates that 
arc white and clean are most attractive to buyers of fruit. Ex¬ 
perienced marketers of fruit understand this, and they know 
_also that berries shipped in such packages easily command a 
cent or more per quart than those packed in black, mouldy and 
dirty crates and baskets. 
We have made the subject of fruit packages a careful 
study for years. It has been our aim, as manufacturers of these 
goods, to make the best, and to be ranked as the leading manu- 
factor)-In the country. In this we have succeeded.
