SUDBURY SOIL TEST KITS 
The sure way to know the essentials required for strong, 
vigorous growth is to test your soil. Sudbury kits are designed 
especially to be practical and easy to use. No knowledge of 
chemistry is required. If you can read and compare colors on 
a chart you can test your own soil in ten minutes time—and 
get just the information that you need for best results. 
















ALKACID ‘Seeeee7 SOIL TESTER 
This tester will tell you in a very simple, rapid manner, 
and with an accuracy quite sufficient for ordinary garden 
use, the acid or alkaline condition of the soil from any part 
of your garden. The ribbon turns one of three distinctive 
colors depending on the acidity of the soil. With each 
tester is sent a free soil test manual, listing the soil prefer- 
ences of more than three hundred plants, shrubs, vegeta- 
bles, trees, etc., together with instructions as to how the 
soil is to be treated if it is too alkaline or too acid. Dis- 
tilled water should be used to make the tests. This is 
obtainable at any drug store for a few pennies. 
100 Tests for $1.00

phosphorus, potash and acidity. Cased in handsome, sturdy,
