PEAT MOSS 
Horticultural Grade or Granulated 
A thoroughly decayed, natural material serving as a valuable medium for contributing to the 
formation of humus, and valuable for all types of soils. It has no disagreeable odors, is free from 
weed seed, inexpensive and can be obtained promptly in any desired quantities. Used on sandy 
soils to add fibre and make more moisture retaining properties, and on heavy or clayey soils its 
action is to make a more friable and better drainage condition. Soils rich in humus always make 
the best use of available fertilizers and when Peat Moss is used liberally often a less amount of 
fertilizer is necessary, as by the retaining of proper moisture content in the soil the fertilizers are 
more promptly available and retained so that roots can feed on it as needed. Peat Moss is also 
a wonderful preventative of soil leeching. 
Aside from the value as set forth above, we know of no material which has recently come on 
the market so useful and serves so many diversified, important purposes as does Peat Moss. It 
is a wonderful mulching material, and excellent for packing bulbs and tubers for either temporary 
or winter storage. Fruit packed in this material will ripen and keep well, and vegetables will re¬ 
tain their firmness and last well packed in Peat Mull. 1 peck 20c., R bu. 35c., 1 bu. 50c., G hale 
sack $1.00, 2-G bale sacks $1.75. Per full bale, as imported, approximately 18 bu. $3.00, 5 bales (5)
