genircd Super Phosphate Of Lime az q general
Fertilizer and have personally, with caution and
method applied it, for tho purpose of testing its
capabilities, over quite n range of the root and
fruit crop. Corn, beans, potatoes nod other rege
tables also grape vines, und pear trees have been
treated, and in us much US we have dabbled COIL
sidersbly with many popular mauures, We nrc
prepared to make fair comparison. Why this
Nitrogenized Super. Phosphate of Lime in
hands produced results of fur moro satisfactory
character than any fertilizer We ever used, We
cannot add to the length Of this article to explain.
but that it is decidedly with US the cheapest, and.
at the sumo time, the most valuable manure VIC
ever experimental with, is not to be questioned.
Wo have in the course nf an extensive agricul-
tural correspondence. gathered evidence OF the
superior vnuo OF Mupcs' Nitrogenizcd Super
Phosphate Of Lime upon the cotton fields of the
South, where Peruvian t1uano had been used with
partial success. The bDlls have hcen heavier and
of greater number, the yield Of cotton per acre
has been larger and what is also of the greatest
consequence, 20 rust is discovered in cotton csis
where this c.tice is applied, to which may be
aided its peculiar lasting power Of fertilization,
and its comparative cheapness. These fucts have
come to US in correspondence froa parties who
have used other like agents, and who give this by
far the highest praise.
We have arrived ut the conclusion, after con-
siderable experiment ourselves, and careful
search for the results of the trials Of Others hnt
Mapes' fertilizer has more of the property needed
in general manure, in horticulture and agricul-
ture, than anything else of the kind we are ac-
uuainted with."-Ea. !Nefc York Bay Book.
