Japanese Spurge (Paeliysandra terminalis) 
A BROAD-LEAFED Evergreen plant 
growing six to eight inches high and 
forming a close mat-like growth,

roots and creeping stolons help to hold the 
soil. It is an excellent plant for a low border 
along drives and walks. It is an ideal plant 
for window boxes both winter and summer.

“GPM” is packed in tightly compressed 
bales, burlap wrapped, well sticked and wire 
strapped. And, each bale of “GPM” con¬ 
tains twenty (20) bushels of loose Peat Moss 
—even though the bales will be of different 
weights—which will cover between 250 and 
300 square feet, one inch deep. It is not sold 
by weight because the weight of the bale is 
dependent upon the technical moisture con¬ 
tent at the time of bailing and varies in 
accordance with atmospheric conditions. 
“GPM” is of superior quality and the 
finest medium that money can buy. There 
is only one “GPM” brand—the pioneer 
Granulated Peat Moss, in all America.
