GATOR-HIDE MULCH PAPER 
stimulates plant growth by increasing the temperature of 
the soil, by conserving moisture in the soil and by eliminat- 
ing the weeds. 
The Gator-Hide Mulch Paper used here on Early Iceberg 
Lettuce not only yielded more to the row than the unmulched 
area at the right, but it produced lettuce that was of de- 
cidedly better quality and brought it to maturity earlier than 
lettuce planted at the same time on adjacent unmulched land. 
Try Gator-Hide yourself this year.
