Shredded Peat Moss 
Practically the same as imported German or Holland peat moss except 
it is not dried or baled. We have acres of it on our land and use loads and 
loads of it as a mulch and to mix in soil for acid loving plants such as 
ferns, arbutus, bearberry, gentians and many others. 
It is an excellent mulch on heavy soil where it preserves moisture and 
prevents cracking of the soil. We offer this pulverized peat as it comes 
from the ground in sacks of about 100 pounds for $1.50, or sacks with about 
50 pounds for $1.00. Should be shipped only by freight.
