Leaf-Mold Peat 
Most of the Wild Flowers and 
Ferns grow naturally in a soil com¬ 
posed largely of leaf-mold. We are 
offering finely ground, screened 
Leaf-Mold in 2-bushel bags. The 
Leaf-Mold should be mixed with 
the soil to the depth of several 
inches. It retains moisture, and 
also greatly benefits the condition 
of the soil. 2-bus. bag $2.00; 5 bags 
for $7.50. 
PINE NEEDLES. These are 
very useful for a mulch around 
acid-loving plants, such as Trailing 
Arbutus and Cypripedium acaule. 
Pine Needles may also be mixed to 
a depth of several inches in the soil 
where one is going to plant any of 
the acid-loving plants, particularly 
the Cypripedium acaule. These 
Pine Needles will be partially de¬ 
composed, and are ideal for the 
purpose intended. Price per 2-bus. 
bag, $1.00; 10 bags $5.00.
