FLORIDA HUMUS 
Florida Humus is 
obtained from a natural 
deposit of decayed, 
water-grown vegetation 
which has accumulated 
for ages. It is not the 
same as sphagnum moss 
peat, but lighter, fluffier, 
iooser, and is all purely 
vegetable matter. 
It is taken from under 
water by a suction dredge, which keeps it free from 
weed seeds, insects, gravel, clay, and other foreign 
matter, and is perfectly odorless and clean when 
packed and shipped. 
Unusually rich in organic nitrogen (containing 
more than 2 per cent) and absorbing 5.81 times its 
own weight of water in 5 hours, it is a natural home 
for the soil-building bacteria upon which gardening 
success so much depends. 
Prominent growers in this section have made ex¬ 
haustive tests of Florida Humus in the preparation 
of soils for azaleas, rhododendrons, and roses, both 
in benches and in the garden. Reports from these 
tests indicate that Florida Humus is superior to any 
material which these large growers have ever used 
before. 
IN A NUTSHELL 
Florida Humus increases the water-holding 
capacity of the soil. 
It aerates the roots and prevents packing and 
cracking of the surface. 
It gives body to sandy soils and prevents leaching. 
It promotes vigorous and rapid beneficial bacterial 
growth. 
It provides the necessary vegetable matter re¬ 
quired by worn-out soil. 
It supplies the natural organic nitrogen which all 
plants need. „„„
