FLORIDA HUMUS 



DECAYED VEGETATIVE MOLD— THE BASIS OF SOIL FERTILITY 



Dredged from under-water deposits — air-dried and conveniently packaged. 



The PACKAGE 



A light-weight, wire-bound, leak- 

 proof container in two sizes. Large: 

 17" x 22" x 36", 200 pounds capacity, 

 12 cubic feet compressed to 7. Small: 

 100 pounds capacity. FLORIDA HU- 

 MUS, being dry when compressed, does 

 not cake in the package but reverts 

 readily to a loose fluffy condition.

LABORATORY Analysis 



(By Wiley 8C Co., Baltimore, 

 No. 133,554) 



Note very slight acidity — pH 6.0 

 (7.0 is neutral; above 7, alkaline; be- 

 low 7, acid.) Most plants require a soil 

 with an acidity about 6.0. Also note the 

 high percentage of pure organic mat- 

 ter, of nitrogen, and the greater water 

 holding capacity.

COMPARATIVE Analysis 



These tables show how Florida Humus 

 compares, by actual test, with common 

 types of peat products. The figures are on 

 a so-called "wet basis'" — based, that is, on 

 the actual condition as to moisture, in 

 which the product is usually used.
