HORTICULTURAL PEAT MOSS 
Peat Moss is an indispensable material for the modern 
garden. Primarily its purpose is to put soil in good con¬ 
dition and allow proper aeration and to retain moisture, 
both vital factors in the proper growth of plants. When 
added to heavy soil, it breaks it up and in light soil it 
gives body and moisture-holding capacity. It should be 
remembered that it is in no way a fertilizer, but primarily 
a soil conditioner. Peat Moss makes the finest mulch for 
plants and bulbs as it does not mat down and choke the 
plants as leaves have a tendency to do, nor will it bring 
weeds into your garden as is often the case with hay or 
straw. It is also fine for the rock garden as it helps to 
check weed growth and prevent washing of the soil in 
heavy rains. Prices: 1 bu. sack, 50c; 5 bu. sack, $1.50; 
1 large bale (22 bu.), $3.25. Prices are f. o. b. Madison. 
Shipping weight, 8 pounds per bushel. A bushel sack can 
be sent by mail and if wanted by parcel post, be sure to 
include postage for mailing. ___
