PREMIER SWEDEX PEAT MOSS 
Premier SWEDEX is 25 times finer in texture than our reg¬ 
ular Garden Peat which means: 
1— It is more readily incorporated with the soil. 
2— It is peculiarly adapted to stimulate fine, dense root systems. 
3— It works it way quickly into the turf when used as a top 
dressing for lawns. 
4— It is especially desirable in pots, seed flats, hot beds, cold 
frames—and wherever else fine seeds are planted. 
Due to special manufacturing facilities we are now able to 
offer full-size and half-size bales of this extremely fine, free- 
flowing SWEDEX at only a slight increase in price over regular Premier 
Garden Peat Moss. Whether you grow plants for pleasure or for profit, you 
have only to give the SWEDEX or GARDEN GRADE of Premier Peat Moss 
a TRIAL to be amazed and delighted with the results.
