SUDBURY SOIL TEST KITS 
Hit or miss gardening or farming is no longer profitable. Why risk 
valuable seed and a season’s time and labor on soil not adapted to your 
crop. On the other hand why spend money for fertilizer because you think 
that crop or the land needs it? Knowing your soil is the best insurance of 
success. With this simple outfit you can very easily determine if your 
soil needs lime also the kind of fertilizer required if any. It will also 
help to avoid the extravagant use of materials which in excess quantity 
will do more harm than good. 
There are three sizes of these kits. The Professional Soil Test Kit 
used principally by large nurseries and Experiment Stations, price $ 18 . 50 . 
We carry in stock two sizes. 
The Home Gardners Soil Test Kit which tests 
for Nitrogen, Phosphorous, Potash and Acidity. 
For the small home gardener it is just the thing 
but rather small for the farmer or florist.$1.50 
The Horticultural Soil Test Kit. This 
is identical with the Professional Kit but 
smaller in size. Cased in a strong metal 
chest with all chemicals, glassware, etc. 
required to make 60 tests for Acidity, 
Nitrogen, Phosphorous and Potash you 
have something that will last for years and 
give you a crop insurance, that will be 
more profitable to you than anything the 
Government can offer. I much more than 
paid for my Kit with the first test I made. 
I thought the soil was deficient in Potash 
and too much Nitrogen and found it to be 
just the opposite. This is only $9.75 and will pay for itself many times 
over.
