PEAT MOSS 
Adds Humus to Your Soil 
Peat Moss, a highly absorbent moisture retaining 
material, weed and fungus free, contributes largely 
to the humus forming qualities in the soil. Ours is 
the finest quality sphagnum peat and capable of ab¬ 
sorbing ten to fifteen times its own weight in moisture. 
Soil Conditioner 
As a soil conditioner Peat Moss is indispensable. 
It makes clay soils open and porous so that water 
and air can penetrate more freely, thus preventing 
drying and hardening, and making plant food in the 
soil available. It makes loose sandy soils more com¬ 
pact and better able to hold moisture and soluble 
fertilizer. 
Peat Moss should be used in the planting of every 
evergreen. In ordinary soils use one-third peat moss 
and two-thirds soil by volume, mixing the soil and 
peat moss thoroughly. Use peat moss also in making 
lawns, flower beds, in planting rose bushes, shrubs 
and trees. 
Mulch 
There is no better material for mulching gardens, 
evergreens and other plants. It keeps out extreme 
heat and cold and helps the soil to hold moisture. 
Mulch all evergreen plantings three inches deep 
with peat moss. As a mulch it conserves moisture; 
prevents freezing and thawing of the soil, which 
breaks and destroys feeding roots; keeps down weed 
growth; and improves the appearance of the evergreen 
beds. Leave the peat moss on the beds winter and 
summer. Bulbs come up through it. 
Peat Moss is clean, odorless and easy to handle. 
It discourages the growth of weeds and helps root 
growth. 
We offer fine quality imported moss, compressed 
in bales of approximately 180 lbs. (varies with 
atmospheric conditions). As a mulch one bale covers 
80 sq. ft. three inches deep.
