IMPORTED PEAT MOSS 



Nothing that we have used will loosen the heavy clay soils found in the vicinity of 

 Pittsburgh as well as this Im.ported Peat Moss. 



Peat Moss consists mostly of partly decayed Sphagnum moss. The best grade of Peat 

 Moss comes from Germany and is light, fibrous and porous, and light brown in color as 

 compared to Peat from Ireland or this countrj', which is almost black, heavy and more 

 like muck soil. 



Peat Moss is valued for its ability to break up and make clayey soils more porous and 

 to act as a binder for light, sandy soils. 



FOR ZiAWZTS 



Apply Feat to established lawns early in 

 the Spring about V2 inch deep. 



In making new lawns apply from 2 to 3 

 inches of Peat Moss and work into the soil. 

 If desirable to use a fertilizer, use a high 

 analysis fertilizer. Nitrophoska or Vigoro 

 is excellent for this purpose. Mix the fer- 

 tilizer and Peat Moss thoroughly before 

 applying.
