own 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.
