FREE NEMATODE SOIL TEST!
Until very recently the presence of NEMATODES
(eel worms) in Pennsylvania soils was doubted by
many of the experts But we have NEMATODES—
more in some spots than in others —and we are realiz
ing the damage they can cause to growers of tobacco,
vegetable, and many other field crops
Before you select a control we would like to show you
on a sample of your own soil whether or not you have
NEMATODES and approximately how many. This
service is entirely free of charge and puts you under
no obligation to buy anything Fill out the coupon
below and mail it to us.
