Trees set in blasted holes 

 grow faster and yield better 



EIGHTEEN years ago George W. Brown blasted the beds for 

 ninety out of 100 apple trees that he planted. The trees set 

 in dug-holes average 18 feet high, with a spread of 16 feet and 

 a trunk girth of 27 inches. The other trees, in blasted beds, 

 average 25 feet high, more than 25 feet in spread, and have 

 a trunk girth of 42 inches. Plant your fruit trees in beds 

 blasted with

and you will find, as experiment stations have found, that "trees 

 planted in blasted holes develop deeper and stronger root sys- 

 tems than trees planted in spade-dug holes," and will bear 

 earlier and yield larger crops. 



The Giant Farm Powders are made especially to suit ivestern farm con- 

 ditions. They pulverize the soil instead of packing it. They are used by 

 hundreds of fruit growers for planting and deep-tilling their orchards. Ask
