Plants of all kinds need a balanced diet if 
they are to yield maximum growth. The 
only way to insure a balanced diet is to first 
test the soil and then add the missing chemi¬ 
cals according to the soil’s needs. 
THE SUDBURY SOIL-TESTING KIT 
is practical and easy to use. It provides a 
simple method of determining the nitrogen, 
phosphorus and potash contents and also 
whether the soil is acid or alkaline. 
The use of the Sudbury Soil-Testing Kit 
eliminates guess-work and provides actual 
knowledge of what Plant Foods are needed 
and how much to apply. 
Home Garden Kit (sufficient for 
about 20 tests). $ 2.00
