T^ IGHTEEN 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 



"ARM POWDERS 



STUMPING — AGRICULTURAL 



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 western 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 

 _^.^^^^^^_^ your dealer for one of the Giant Farm Powders 



— Giant Stumping Powder or Eureka Stumping 

 Powder, and for other Giant blasting supplies. 

 Be sure to get the genuine, bearing the Giant 

 brand. If your dealer has only ordinary dynamites, 

 we shall see that you are supplied.
