MICHIGAN PEAT (P. P. P. Brand), The Ideal All Organic 
Soil Builder and Plant Food 
The most important of all the elements in the soil are the organic 
elements. They are the elements that actually give birth to life 
in the soil. The organic matter gives, maintains and perpetuates 
life in the soil. It attracts and holds the vapors; it provides 
bacteria with a feeding ground. In its cells bacteria breeds and 
propagates, and after all, bacteria is the center of gravity. It is 
the basis of life itself. 
Michigan Peat is the ideal organic soil builder and plant food 
for seed flats, and.^mixing for potting and greenhouse bench soil. 
In crates 20x20x36 at $2.75. Also sold in bulk in car lots.
