Native Peat or Wood's Mold 
To grow Azaleas and Rhododendrons successfully you 
must have leaf mold, peat in some form or some similar 
substance. We have used Russian, German and Holland 
Peat, leaf mold collected from under trees in our local 
forests, but by far the best material we have ever used is 
a form of native peat, a deposit of which we have found 
near here. It runs from twelve to twenty four inches thick 
and is composed of thoroughly decayed leaves and other 
material from hardwood trees which has been generations 
in the making. We fully recommend this for use in grow- 
ing stock and to use in a mixture of soil and sand in 
which to sow seeds but we do not recommend it for use 
in propagating evergreens and other soft wooded shrubs 
by cuttings. 
If you would like to try it we will send you a two-bushel 
bag for $1.00. Will quote special prices on larger lots. 
Try a sample bag, we believe you will like it so well you 
will want more.

Lath Shade Machine 
We have manufactured a machine to weave the lath 
shade used in covering seed beds, seedlings, cuttings, 
transplants, etc. This machine is very sturdily made and 
should last several years without need of repair. The wood 
parts being of sturdy white oak. Uses three double strands 
of wire and a four foot length of lath. Shades can be 
made any length desired and rolled up when pulling grass 
' or when ready to store. It takes two men to operate it 
- and they can make from 700 to 900 lineal feet a day. We 
' will send full instructions how to operate it and tell you 
_ where to get the wire if you do not know a source of supply. 
The price is $35.00 each, with full working instructions.
