CLEAN 

 SPHAGNUM 



FL0K18TS and othors acquaintwi with the Sphagnum Moss conditions are well 

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

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

 sti( l<s, weeds and grass. We have succeeded in opening a large new swamp. This 

 inos.s is bright, dean, iiew 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 liavc kept the marshes tilled with water, making extra expense to get moss 

 out and to ilry it, besides which burlap has nearly d<)ul>le(l 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. 



BURLAP BALES. Standard size bales good clean moss. Each $1.50, 5 bales, $6.00, 10 

 bales $11.50. F. O. B. New York, bale $2.00; (.bales, $10.00. Write for price in larger lots.
