~"No, we would not think of planting a tree without using dynamite."--~
Extract from a letter received from Edwards & Patterson, Milledgeville,
Ga., who are amongst Georgia's best known pecan growers.
[Illustration: Pecan nut]
Edwards & Patterson's pecans, actual size, sent to us as fair average
samples of nuts grown on unblasted and blasted trees. The pecan at the
top was grown on a tree in unblasted soil,--at the bottom is the pecan
grown where the soil was blasted.
[Illustration: Pecan nut]
Blasting with RED CROSS EXPLOSIVES shatters the compact soil, extends
the feeding area of roots and increases the water-holding capacity of
the ground.
Tree-planting in blasted ground is "life insurance" for all kinds of
fruit and nut trees. Plant your pecans in blasted ground, and stop
first-year losses.
Write for HANDBOOK OF EXPLOSIVES telling about tree-planting and other
ways of using RED CROSS EXPLOSIVES.
