A Word About 

 Your Garden Soil 



If you are not satisfied with the 

 way your roses are growing and 

 blooming, it may be worth your 

 while to have a soil test made. We 

 have an expert to recommend to you: 

 Robert B. Peters Co., Inc., 2833 Pennsylvania St., 

 Allentown, Pa. 18104. 



To prepare a soil sample, dig a hole about 10 inches 

 deep. Cut a thin slice of soil from the top to the bottom 

 of this hole, and put it in a plastic bag. Take five or six 

 other samples in a similar manner, putting them all in 

 the same bag. Stir them up together, and mail about 

 a pint of this mixture in a box to Mr. Peters. His 

 charge for an analysis and suggestions for improving 

 your soil is $2.50.
