Yours, respectfully,
JAMES J. MApEs.
a. BAGLEY, of New Haven, Ct snys:-"I
used it ON turnips, by the side of Peruvian aud
American Guanus, and must say that it proved
better than either; the Peruvian showed best for
the first few weeks but fell behind at harvest. An
equal value of Guano and Nitrogenized Super
phosphate were used"
| says:-" That on 2U acres of worn-out land, not
capable of producing by ordinary means II or u
bushels Of grain to the acre, he has raised the past
year, with 500 lbs. of Nitrogenized Super-phos-
!. phate per acre, over 30 bushels of white rye per
acre, and leaving stand of grass equal to any he
ever saw" Within y months Mr.. Ketchum has
had- Sn- Hn t,Es.-.-- -----..-.-. --
JOHN S. BEACH, Esq., New Haven, CT, has
used my Phosphate for Vegetable Garden and
Fruit Trees, and says:-" For the purpose, its ia-
ciiy Of application certainty of good results and
absence of all injurious effects, even though un-
skillfuly applied, render it, in my opinion, supe-
rior to any other concentrated fertilizer with which
am acquainted"
NATHANIEL EEED, Esq, formerly President
of the North River Dank, NOW OF Dnricn. Ct.,
says =" 1 have made use of your Nitrogcnizcd
Super phosphate Of Lime my garden and in my
fields of corn aud potatoes. / know of no other
annurc that is US good for the garden or the crops
50 fur MS have tried it, deem it better than the
| hest Guano for the above usc"
NATHAN MOORE, Jr., StefFord, Ct. has used
tie Phosphate on urnips, and with good effect
| A WETM0RE, Jr., Stamfurl, Ct, used the
| Phosphate on grass lands, and states It's quality
and effects to be superior to any other fertilizer in
| his district.
! JUDGEFRENClI, author Of "Farm Drainage,
says -" We have tried every variety Of fertilizer,
and have more faith in Mapts' Super. r.phosplIate
than in any other manufactured article Of the
| kind"
TII1S. DAVIS, Columbia, S. G., says:-"l
have used Mapcs Nitrogenized Suprr-phusphalc
of Lime on my Con"n of the present year. and
am perfectly satisfied with its yield. can rec
umnend it tn my ncghbors with confidence as II
| purc and effective manure, and would give il the
| preference TO amy other in the market
COLONEL GOODWIN, Columbia, S. c., has
doubled his CoItun crup during the last year iy
the use Of the Ntrosenzcd Super h"splIulc, a<
stated in letter trom Mr.. Henry Lumus.
The Agricultural Editor of the New York b0y
Book says I'VE have, in the course of an cxtcn-
siyc agricultural correspondence, gathered evidence
of the superior value Of Mapcs' Nitroscnzcd
Super phosp phntc OF Lime upon the cotton fields
of the South, where Peruvian Guanu had been
used with partial success. The bOiis have been
hcorier, and Of greater numb,r, the yield Of conon
per acre has betn larger, and what Is also of the
greatest consequence, no rasf is discorcrrd i'll cot
ton fields where this article is applied, to which
may be added its peculiar lasting power Of frrti;
zation, and its comparative cheapncss. These facts
have come to us in correspondence from parties
who have used other like agents, und who give
this by far the highest praise.
owe have arrived ut the conrusion after con-
siderable experiment ourselves, and careful search
for the results of the trials Of others, that Aapcs
| fertilizer has Of the property needed in
reucra manure, in horticulture uul agriculture,
than anything else Of the kind We arc acquainted
with"
HENRY L0MAS, Esq, Columbia, s. G., says:
al have very great pleasure i'll writing You,
touching the effects of your Super r-phusplatc Of
Lime on our Cotton crop. Having tested it against
four other preparations, the appearance OF the
plant is most hopeful and promising, rs regards Il
large and rcmunerating yield. l feel certain your
| manure will give from one hundred 10 one hundred
| and thiriv pounds of Cotton more than any other
preparation per acre.
II is n remarkable fact that no Rust is seen in
the plant where your Manure has been used,
while al others show Rust more or less, and this
is especially the case where Guano has been used.
And last though not least, as regards tho Plnn-
tors interest, feel certain that Cotton from Su-
perphosphute will WEIGH MUCH HEAVIER
than from any other preparation. In this par
ticular, I believe Phosphatcs destined to
work the srrutc.t possible beneficial revolution in
the tOn-growing states
The plants look most vigorOuc and luxurious,
some being six feet high, and holding from eighty
to one hundred and ten Bolls each stalk.
Southern Cultirator of Nov. 25th says DEEP
PLowING AND MASuRISG.-A gentleman of Burke
county, Ca, writes US -" have set out with the
determination to see what be done on 25 acres
of hgh dry upland, by ditching under draining,
thorough subsoiling and the application Of SIS
worth Of Mapes' Super phosphate to the ncre.
am fully satisfied from IN experiment made by
me (as above) this year that can raise Il bag of
cotton or 30 bushels of per the first year,
and bring every acre thus treated in good heart"
The Washington North Carolina Despatch, of
Mar. 4, 1852, tnken from the North Curulna Plan
Ter" | hnvc experimental some with guano upon
grain crops, and found that its superahuntlnnce of
ammonia gave II most luxuriunt growth to the
plant, but it did not supply the minerals equal to
the demands of the grain. Hence MY wheat crop
grown upon guano weighed but So lbs, while that
grown upon Mapes' Phosphate of Lime, weighed
50 to 81 lbs. per buShel.'
/. DODMAN Jr., President Conway Bank,
Mass has used the Phosphate for the last year,
and on corn and grass crops has found it to be u
CHEAP and profitable manure.
JOHN C. ROBERTS, New Eutrctch, Long Is
,lanl-hns used it for several years on Gnrtlcn
crops, and the last year on corn and oats. and is
very we'll satisfied with the results.
RUBEN FRASER, Silliman Co., N. Y, and his
brothor both state that they have used it on corn
and other crops, and found it superior any other
