Growell Feat Fots. Have an early garden 

 this year by using Growell Peat Pots. 

 These pots are 



made from 

 pure peat moss 

 and are used 

 the same as or- 

 dinary clay 

 pots. Their ad- 

 vantage lies In 

 the fact that 

 they are very 

 retentive of 

 moisture and 

 do not dry out 

 as quickly as 

 clay pots; also, 

 instead of be- 

 coming pot 

 bound, the 

 roots can grow through the peat pot 

 and plants can be planted pots and all.

FLORIDA HUMUS 



DECAYED VEGETATIVE MOLD— THE BASIS OF SOIL FERTILITY 

 Dredged from underwater 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 & 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.
