GRANULATED PEAT 
MOSS 
The increasing use of Peat Moss for gardens shows a 
better understanding of its value. It is a vegetable prod¬ 
uct which remains in 
the soil for many years 
contributing to the 
formation of humus, 
making the soil more 
porous and improving 
its general texture 
and condition. It con¬ 
tributes effective 
drainage and is a res¬ 
ervoir for storing 
moisture and air, 
thereby favoring plant 
growth. Also used for mulching perennial and rose beds, 
as well as around evergreens, retaining the moisture so 
necessary to their growth.

POULTRY LITTER Coarse peat moss which makes an 
ideal poultry litter and stable bedding. Remains dry and 
clean much longer than any other litter.
