AMERICAN PEAT SOIL SPONGE 
THE PERFECT SOIL CONDITIONER 
American Peat Soil Sponge is a rich brown semi- 
granular material, fine in texture, rich in organic 
content and highly absorbent. It is very retentive 
of moisture, free from weed and fungi and very 
low in mineral content. Soil Sponge is 95% pure 
organic matter. 
As a soil conditioner, Soil Sponge is unequalled! 
When mixed with the soil it builds permanently! 
produces vigorous growth; develops strong bacte- 
rial action; loosens heavy clayey soils, making them 
porous and friable, and assists in holding together 
loose sandy soils. In short, Soil Sponge makes soils 
more workable, improves the mechanical action re- 
sulting in luxuriant flowers and turf. 
GENERAL DIRECTIONS—LAWNS. When lawns 
become brown and spotty it is due more to the 
vhysical rather than the chemical properties of the 
soil, for if the soil becomes dry beneath the surface, 
the grass dies. Garden loam holds about 55% of 
its weight in moisture, sand 22%, Soil Sponge six 
.o eight times its weight Soil Sponge, being a con- 
tinuous reservoir nf water. feeds the plant and 
guards it against leaf and ground evaporation, 
which is over 90%. 
PLANTS AND SHRUBS—Fill in around roots a 
mixture of equal parts of earth and Soil Sponge. 
If plants are already in the ground and need re- 
juvenating, carefully remove soil around the roots 
and fill in with clear Soil Sponge. Water frequent- 
ly the first few weeks.
