PEAT MOSS 
Up-to-date flower growers keep a supply of imported Peat 
Moss constantly on hand. By its use heavy soils are made 
more friable, mellow, less likely to bake, and better aerated. 
Light sandy soils hold moisture better. Good for mulching. 
Peat Moss with some fertilizer added, and a little lime, makes 
an excellent substitute for stable manure, with the advantage 
of being free from weed seeds. Keep on hand a mixture of Yi 
sifted garden soil, ]/i sand, and x /i peat moss. Use this for 
seed sowing, transplanting, and potting. Peat Moss is the 
modern medium for packing and storing Cannas, Dahlias, etc. 
Clean, odorless and pleasant to handle.
