The increasing use of Peat Moss for gardens 
shows a better understanding of its value. It is a 
vegetable product 
which remains in 
the soil for many 
years contributing 
to the formation of 
humus, making the 
soil more porous 
and improving its 
general texture and 
condition. It con¬ 
tributes effective 
drainage and is a 
reservoir for stor¬ 
ing moisture and air, thereby favoring plant growth. 
Also used for mulching perennial and rose beds, as 
well as around evergreens, retaining the moisture 
so necessary to their growth. 
Large bales, make 20 bushels when shaken out. 
Per bale $3.50; 5 bales, $15.50.

4 oz. 30c. 
POULTRY LITTER Coarse peat moss which
