 fruit growers 



is given by many fruit growers in the accom- 

 panying page from the Giant book, "Better 

 Orchard Tillage." These men say that blasting 

 enables the trees to root deeper; 

 •adds moisture storage capacity; 

 ^aves labor and money; 

 .improves orchards that are not doing their 



best; 

 is alwrays profitable when properly done; 

 -places the soil in the ideal condition that 

 permits newly planted trees to make 

 extraordinary growth; 

 .increases the yield of fruit. 



scores of the most successful fruit growers in 

 the Pacific Coast States plant all of their trees 

 in beds blasted with one of the 



<f^FARM POWDERS 



^liiii I 1^^^ STUMPING — AGRICULTURAL 



I —Eureka Stumping Powder or Giant Stumping — both of 

 which are made especially for this and other agricultural 

 work. They have found these Giant Powders particularly 

 well adapted to subsoiling and for blasting tree beds. 



Some kinds and grades of explosives tend to shatter and pulver- 

 ize anything they come in contact with. They act too quickly. 

 These ordinary dynamites do not do the work well and cost more. 

 Eureka Stumping Powder exerts its strength slowly, comparatively 

 speaking. It tends to disrupt, crack, split and heave the soil and 

 it extends its influence over a wide area. It loosens and pulverizes 

 the soil instead of packing it and throwing it high in t!ie air. This 

 is the action that is wanted in soil work and this action the 

 "high percentage" dynamites will not give.

Giant Powder is the trade name of explosives 

 manufactured by the Giant Powder Co., Con. 

 Because Giant Powders are best known everywhere, many have 

 assumed that all high explosives are Giant Powders. Insist upon 

 having the genuine, made only by The Gi.int Powder Co., Con. 

 If your dealer has only ordinary dynamites, write us and we 

 will see that you are supplied with real Giant Powders. 



Try ONE BOX 



Perhaps you have never planted trees in 

 blasted beds. To make it easy for you to 

 prove the value of blasting the soil, we 

 print a trial order form in the coupon ti tlie 

 nght. Fill It out and we will have our near- 

 est distnbutor supply you— at the lowest 

 market price— with a 25- or 50-lb. case of 

 either of the Giant Farm Powders. Blast 

 beds for all of your trees. Plant one in a 

 spade-dug hole, the ordinary way. Note the 

 difference in growth. 



If you are using explosives for tree-plant- 

 ing, test a case of Giant alongside of the 

 brand you have been using. After blasting 

 with each, take a spade and see how much 

 more thoroughly Giant does tlie work. 



Remfmtwr that you can blast whenever ihe toil ii 

 d ry, fro m a day to a year hcfote plantinc time. Many 

 ertmen k«p Giant Faxm Powders alwaya on hand.
