in many essential minerals that are necessary to good 
health. (See Readers Digest, December, 1945, issue.)

A Sensational New Product 
SANI-SOIL (Shredded Redwood Bark) 
Anyone who has ever visited the majestic redwood groves in California has been 
impressed by the apparent indestructibility of these trees. The fact that there is 
no known disease or insect that ever attacks these trees, nor can an insect ever be 
found in a redwood grove, implies sufficiently that this material is the idea 
sanitaire’ for plant life.

In addition to this the texture of Sani-Soil makes it a soil builder that gives the 
sandiest soils moisture retaining properties and will break up the stiffest untractable 
clay soils as well. 
Its insulating power is twice as great as ground cork, making it the ideal winter 
protection. Because of its non-absorption of moisture it is the ideal summertime 
mulch for vegetable and perennial beds, preventing the growth of weeds and the 
evaporation of moisture. Full descriptive circular on request. 25-lb. bag, $2.00, 
$6.50 per 100 Ibs., f.o.b. N. Y.

SOIL TESTING KITS 
The importance of testing all soils before planting or applying

fertilization which is more dangerous than under-fertilization.

required.
