sir. W. E. Hartman 

 of the National Acad- 

 emy of Sciences says : 

 "I believe that Hyper- 

 Humus is responsible 

 for the general excel- 

 lence of both lawn and 

 plantings." For many 

 years the U. S. Gov- 

 ernment has used 

 Hyper-Humus in the landscaping and planting of many 

 of its public buildings, Post Offices, and Parks. It made 

 the Government's standard for landscaping, and is ap- 

 proved for Government plantings in Washington and 

 throughout the East. 



FIVE HYPER-HUMXJS VALUES 



1 Hyper-Humus is literally a workshop for bacterial con- 

 version. The millions of beneficial bacteria in Hyper- 

 Humus gives life and fertility to your soil. 



2 Hyper-Humus is a storage-house of soil organics . . . 

 plant food awaiting plant call. 



3 Hyper-Humus is a reservoir of normal moisture, assist- 

 ing food conversion, and coming to the aid of your 

 plants when they need it. 



Humus makes rich 

 loamy garden soil out 

 of common dirt. Added 

 in sufficient quantity it 

 will give the soil the 

 proper texture, help 

 hold the right amount 

 of moisture, and retain 

 plant foods for natural 

 plant stimulation. 



4 Hyper-Humus is a regulator of temperature and air 

 ... so vital to plant life. 



5 Hyper-Humus has perfect friability ... it is easy and 

 pleasant to use ; absolutely free from odor and from 

 weed-seeds.

PEAT MOSS 



Promotes Growth by Improving Texture of Soils and 



Regulating Supply of Moisture 



Investigate its Many Advantages 



Peat O'Maine peat moss is of 

 sphagnum derivation, comparable in 

 every respect and effectiveness with 

 the imported varieties of pre-war 

 days. An excellent soil improver 

 where organic matter is needed. 

 Recommended for binding and hold- 

 ing moisture in sandy soils, for 

 lightening of heavy clay soils. Also 

 recommended for mulching, both for 

 summer moisture retention and 

 winter protection. Excellent for 

 mixing with potting soils and in 

 seed beds, as it absorbs and holds 



many times its weight in moisture. Bales contain sufficient 

 material to cover 250 square feet, 1 inch deep when loosened.
