Shredded Sedge Moss 
Practically the same as imported German or Holland peat moss ex- 
cept it is not dried or baled. We have acres of it on our land and use 
loads and loads of it as a mulch and to mix in soil for acid-loving plants 
such as ferns, arbutus, bearberry, gentians and many others. 
It is an excellent mulch on heavy soil where it preserves moisture 
and prevents cracking of the soil. We offer this pulverized peat as it 
comes from the ground, in sacks of about 100 pounds for $1.50, or 
oS of about 50 pounds for $1.00. Should be shipped only by 
reight. 
Northern Grown Nursery Stock 
It is a well-known fact among horticulturists that northern grown 
plants and trees have a vigor and vitality not found in those grown 
farther south. Furthermore, we offer only such varieties as we have 
found to be reasonably hardy in this territory. Our season opens late 
and we can supply domant stock much later than southern growers. 
The careful planter will keep this in mind when placing orders.
