Shredded Peat Moss 
Practically the same as peat moss imported from Holland 
except not quite so dry. Excellent for mulching" and to mix 
with soil for acid loving plants such as ferns, arbutus, bearberry, 
gentians and many others. Also excellent to mix with heavy 
soil to prevent baking and packing and to hold moisture. 
100 lb. sack, $1.50, or 50 lb. sack for S1.00. Should be shipped 
by freight.
