HINSDALE 
LEAFMOLD 
ome owners have a right to take personal pride in 
their lawns and gardens and so, to those who like 
the finer things in life, we dedicate this little 
older. 
Would you like your lawns to stay green all summer, even 
during a long dry spell? 
Would you like to produce better flowers and vegetables? 
If so 
you MUST HAVE YOUR SOIL RIGHT 
TO START WITH 
Just as your house will not stand without a firm founda¬ 
tion, so your lawn will not stand up unless the grass roots 
have organic matter in the soil with which to produce 
bacterial activity. 
We trust the information contained herewith will help 
you in your lawn and garden problems. In specific lawn or 
garden troubles, consult your florist or nurseryman or 
write us direct. 
What is Hinsdale Leafmold? 
Dame Nature has presented us with an invaluable 
deposit of virgin leafmold on our property in Hinsdale. 
This is a pocket formed ages ago when the glacial period 
was ended in New England and the ice cap receded to¬ 
wards the North. This pocket has an average depth of 12 
feet. Hinsdale Leafmold has a slightly acid reaction. 
An examination of the sample of this leafmold will show 
that it has a remarkably fine texture showing the material to 
be composed of leaves, fine roots and grass. Intermingled 
with this are millions of minute rootlets showing tendency 
under cultivation to produce humus. This leafmold must not 
be confused with peat or peat moss. It is the first cousin to 
natural humus which we all desire so much in our soils.
