DO YOU HAVE TROUBLE GROWINO PLANTS? 
For Home Gardeners—Please Read Carefully! 
Have YOU ever had “bad luck” with some particular 
tree or flower which you were anxious to raise? Hun¬ 
dreds of home gardeners have and have placed the 
blame everywhere except where it belongs—unsuitable 
soil conditions. 
Plants like humans, need food to live and grow and 
this food is largely furnished by the soil in which they 
are planted. If the proper food is not there in suffi¬ 
cient quantity, you either have spindly plants or no 
plants at all. For example, it is useless to try to 
grow Gardenias in sub-acid soil but in slightly acid 
soil, they thrive. 
Soils seem much alike to us humans but not to 
growing plants and in order to get the plant’s view. 
soil should be analyzed. This will tell you what and 
how to plant for best results. 
For only $3.00, we will make a SCIENTIFIC LAB¬ 
ORATORY TEST of your soil and our experts will 
give you full advice as to planting any three of the 
following: Fruit Trees, Bulbs, Lawns, Evergreens, Per¬ 
ennials, Roses, Glads, Dahlias, Shrubs, Vines, or 
Shade Trees. Here’s all you have to do. Send us $3.00 
with a pint sample of soil in secure package marked 
with your name and address. Select the soil from sev¬ 
eral places and from several depths, top soil and six 
and twelve inches deep. Also let us know on what three 
types of plants you wish advice. We will do tile rest. 
Should you want information on more than tnret 
plants, add 50c per plant.
