1ILIZER:
Received the highest premium awarded to Fertil-
izers by the American Institute OF New York, held

mittee of the Institute composed Of Dr. c. E. BUCK,
Professor j. g. PoHLE, and other prominent Chem
lists, see pamphlets.
The distinguished feature of this sUPER-PHOS-
PHATE IRON other similar Fertilizers is that all Of
its ingredients are Of animal origin, AMI are either
soluble in 1uater or in condition to quickly become
soluble in the soil und be taken up by the crop.
Contains no inert or mineral materials.
The proper relative proportion of the ingredients
in MAPES' 81 PER-PHOSPHATE to meet the re-
auirements OF the Cotton crop Georgia and South
Caro- iua soils, is fully proved by the experience OF
planters who testified that ohereuer applied, euen to
land noted for rushing cotton, the disease is entirely
corrected and healthy, vigorous growth produced.
On the same land Peruvian Guano and other fertil-
izers have failed to secure healthy growth.

Dr. E. NJ. RoYALL, Christ Church Parish writes:
Applied at the rate of 100 TO 200 pounds per acre on
11th pril, on % acres blue clay land, good dea
worn from being planted in cotton from 1867 to 1851
with only years Fest during that time, and not
withsanding the long continued cold and heavy rain,
and gales during the sprlng and summer, about the
first CT september the crop on this field was eslima-
ted by some of best judges to promise yield of
18O 10 200 pounds fine Sea Island Cotton Lint 10 the
acre. Notwithstanding the rayagcs of the caterpillar,
the frat cotton picked WAS from the field which
MAPES' PHOSPHATE WAS used, and 1t has made
about 65 pounds to the acre, while no other man
ured lind made over 45 pounds. Has useI MAPE,'
PHOSPHATE on melons, potatoes and the garden
with satisfactory results.
THOMAS >. sALTER, Washington County, Ga, re-
por that seventy-hve pounds per acre on old land
increased both the Cotton and the Corn three-fold.
Considers it far more economical than Peruvian
Guano.
Dr. E. PARSONS, sandersvlle, wast ington County
Ga says:
.'My observation is that MAPEs' SUPER-PHoS-
PHATE is q preventive against rust in Cotton.
Hns about doubled the Cotton aud treped the Corn.

j. w. SCOTT, oil same section, reports:
''rhat his crop manured with Peruvian Guano WAS
far moro effected by drought ard excessive rains
than where MAPES SUPEk-PHoSPHaTE was used.

has seen used by his nelghbors."
W. II. SPARKS, tat- nton, Ga, reports:
"Un land about hall covered with eedge, and
which had not b, cn cultivated in two years, when
the manure was put on, badly manured, crop would
yield two pounds where the unmanured would yiel
one."
B. B. HAMILTON, Amcricus, Ga, reports:
"Obtained the most satisfactory results from
dressing. Considered to hive had the best garden
this year in st uthwestern Georgia"
w. j. ANDERSON, Fort Valley, Ga, reports:
"MAPE>' SUrER-pHoSPHATE has doubled the
crop OF cotton ID every use repOrteu anu some re-
port 1t has moro than doubled their crop. On wheat
und oats the results ore very satisfactory"
D. A. WARNocK. Beach Branch. s. c., reports:
ION land which always rusted cotton, increased
the crop twofold;ts fine cotton as he has seen this
year. Prevented rust. Four rows unmanured rust
ed in August. Everything the MAPES' SUPER
PHOSPHATE was tried on did we'll Cotton stool

and growed finely; has beat Peruvian Gtdno In his
neighborhood Believes It to be the BEST Manure
now IN use"
E. 4. LILIES, Lilesville Anson County, N. c., re.
ports:
"As compared with Peruvian Guano and Baughs
Super. Phosphate, the result decidedly In favor
of MAPEo' sUPHER-PHOSPHaTE; attributed, be-
yond Doubt to the fact that the rava2es of the rust
were not by marked difference, 80 severe where 1t
was applied as where the other Inanures were."
JAMES McMEEKIN, Aston, :. e., reports
"Used ION OF Peruvian. and found the result but
one half as compared with those from MAPES'
SUpER-PHO OSPHATE. Soil mostly sandy, with clay
subsoI Marked difference IN tho size Of the bols,
in favor of MAPES' PHOSPHATE. On Cot
ton plants the increased growth was about 100 per
cent.
JoHs R. HAn, Minis, S. c.:
"Cottou was more vigorous and healthy, and ma
tured at least t,uo Deehs earlier where MAPES'
SUPER-PHOSPHATE was used as compared with
other Fertilizers applied. MAPES' sUPER-PHO5-
PHATE produced 1C0 pounds por ncrc moro Cotton

K. S. VENNING, Christ Church Parish, s. c., re-
potts:
.'Ono application, 200 pounds MAPES' SUPER

height OF six feet, where it grew only two feet the
year before. Considers MApES' sUPER-PHOS-
PHATE the best Fertilizer for SEA ISLAND COT.

S. C. MEANS, Spartanburg, s. c., writes:
"Used 240 pounds per acre, applied May 18th. Can
safely coy never saw more vigorous growth impart

Rev W. A. MERRIwETHER, Valle Crucis, near Co
lumbia, s. c., reposts:
"MAPES' sUPER-PHOSPHATE has given perfect
satisfaction, AMI that 1t permanently improves the
SOIL Has no hesitation in saying it is the specla
manure ior the turnip and Irish potato"
P. C. PENDLEToN, Valdoston, Ga, writes
"MAPEs' SUPER-PHOsPHATE has exceeded my
most sangune expectations. The effects of Its use
on Corn, Peas and Garden Vegetables was mos
marked Ii it can be always kept up to the stan
