COO MIST OR COW MANURE 
The Greatest of All the Fertilizers, and the 
Best of All Mulches 
Cow manure is God's greatest gift to 
plants. It is most effective when fresh, but 
on account of the objectionable work of 
handling it fresh, we will furnish it in well 
rotted condition. Cow manure provides, in 
addition to the chemical elements needed 
for plant growth, viz. nitrogen, phosphorus 
and potash, the most important of all the 
essential elements, which is humus and 
humus alone is the only important element 
absent in all commercial fertilizers.

Our Coo Mist or Cow Manure is finely 
shredded and in addition to its great fer¬ 
tilizer value, it makes the finest of all 
mulches and at a most reasonable price.

IMPORTED PEAT MOSS 
Imported trom Germany, Peat Moss has 
been widely advertised and used as a 
mulch for Roses and other plants all over 
this country, and we endorse this material 
as a mulch if it is coarse enough to allow 
the air to circulate through it. Any mulch 
which packs down solid and does not allow 
free circulation of air through it is a failure. 
Therefore, in using Peat Moss as a mulch 
we advise a very coarse quality. Frequent 
dressings of Hydrated Lime to curb the ten¬ 
dency to acidity will be of great benefit. 
Peat Moss mulch should always be re¬ 
moved in the winter and replaced in the 
late spring. As the only object of a mulch 
is to prevent evaporation of the moisture 
from the soil and evaporation is very slow 
when the soil is cool. Its real benefit is 
apparent only during hot weather. 
We carry in stock the coarse and fine 
grain. We recommend the coarse grain for 
Roses.
