VAUGHAN'S SEED STORE. CHICAGO AND NEW YORK, BOOK FOR FLORISTS. 



FLORISTS and others acquainted with the Spha,sfnum Moss conditions are well 

 aware that most of the Sphagnum swamps in the Wisconsin district have been 

 worked out, those parts remaining containing mainly only old deposits full of 

 sticks, weeds and grass. We have succeeded in opening a large new swamp. 

 This moss is bright, clean, new growth, free from brush, grass, or old moss long 

 dead and ready to crumble to pieces. 



We put up this Moss in full size bales, covered with new burlap. Continuous 

 rains have kept the marshes filled w-ith water, making extra expense to get moss 

 out and to dry it, besides which burlap has nearly doubled in price. While these 

 conditions add to the cost, the Quality we are supplying gives the customer a value 

 for his money equal to the old rates.
