THE FRANK S. PLATT COMPANY’S 
Peat Moss. 
Peat Moss is an organic material that contri¬ 
butes to the humus content of the soil. It is free 
from fungus, silt, sand or weed seeds, highly ab¬ 
sorbent and retentive of moisture. It is used by 
gardeners and florists in a great variety of ways; such 
as, mixing with soil, propagating, mulching evergreens, 
roses, top dressing lawns, etc., which are covered more 
fully in a special folder, mailed upon request. G. P. M. 
Peat Moss is put up in machine-compressed bales, bur- 
lapped, containing 20 bushels when loosened. The con¬ 
tents will cover 250-square feet, 1 inch deep. It is not 
sold by weight because that depends on the technical 
moisture content. Price per bale, $3.25; 10-bale lots at 
$3.00 per bale. 
Sorbex. Selected Peat Moss ground 25 times 
finer. Per bag of about 10 bushels, $2.00.
