The Value of Vertical Farming Proved 



by results of orchard blasting with 



I 



Red Cross 

 FARM POWDER 



These cuts, made from actual photos, show the com- 

 parative growth of pear trees from Spring of 1913 to 

 August, 1914. Bellemont Orchards, Inc., Norfolk, Va. 



ALL progressive farmers and orchardists know 

 that trees 'planted in blasted ground grow 

 much faster and bear fruit earlier than those 

 planted in the old way. This proves the truth of 

 IN DUG HOLE t ne principles of Vertical Farming, which aims to 

 cultivate downward as well as to till the top soil. 

 Three years ago tree planting in blasted holes was experimental — now 

 millions of trees are set out by the Vertical Farming method every 

 Spring and Fall. 



In like manner, blasting the subsoil to increase general crop yields, now 

 regarded as experimental, will in a few years be common. 



To learn how and why Vertical Farming may double the yields of your farm get the Free Reading 

 Course in Vertical Farming by Dr. G. E. Bailey, one of the best works on soils and soil culture ever 

 published. Sent free with every request for our Farmer's Handbook No. 523 F. Write now.

 In the North one of the most dis- 

 couraging features of planting is the 

 getting of tender kinds that can't 

 stand our winters. A dead shrub or
