RAISING- PLANTS WITH- 



OTJT EARTH. 



The difficulty so many people have in procuring 

 proper soil for their Pot Plants is entirely obviated by 

 using 



DUMESNIL FERTILIZING MOSS. 



This article has met with brilliant success in Eu. 

 rope. Every one knows that even a few indoor plants 

 cause some mess and dirt, and where many are grown, 

 the accompanying inconveniences are just so much 

 greater. This moss will overcome all that and many 

 other obstacles, besides that plants grown in it will be 

 healthier in every way and produce larger and better 

 colored flowers. The lightness of the moss and the 

 small quantity required make its nse quite inexpen- 

 sive. 



Price, 30 cents per lb. If by mail, 50 cents per lb. 

 Pamphlets, giving full particulars, mailed free on 

 application.
