Peat 

 Moss 



19 bu. bale 



Mulch your rhododendrons, kalmias ferns and roses with Peat Moss. An 

 ideal mulch for your bulbs and lawn. Used in proper proportions will bring 

 your soil to the highest state of physical condition. It helps to bind together 

 and give more body to loose sandy soil; it will break up and render more 

 friable heavy clay soil: it makes all soil easy to work, highly retentive of 

 moisture so that it will hold the plant food which has been dissolved in the 

 soil moisture; it will prevent baking and caking, develop necessary soil bac- 

 teria and in general condition your soil so that it is sure to produce better 

 crops or flowers. 1 bale #4.25; 5 or more bales, #4.00 per bale.
