Why Your Garden Needs 
PEAT/&M0SS 
G. P. M. Peat Moss is the finest grade, pure organic Peat Moss obtainable. It loosens 
heavy clay soils, gives body to sandy soils, it improves the texture of any soil; increases 
available fertility; stores up valuable moisture and water-soluble fertilizers for full use of 
plants. It aerates the soil and prevents hardening, and it promotes the development of 
vigorous root-growth—the secret of all luxuriant top-growth and beautiful flowers. 
Floranid (Urea) 
A very rich nitrogen fertilizer (46% 
nitrogen) used principally during the grow¬ 
ing season to obtain more rapid growth, 
richer color of foliage, and greater bril¬ 
liancy of bloom. A 5-pound package is 
enough for five monthly applications to 
1,000 square feet.
