ON SOWING POPPY SEED 
Poppies cannot be safely transplanted 
and should therefore be sown where they 
are to grow, and thinned to 8 or 10 inches 
apart. 
They are lovely, 
sow over bulb beds or in spaces in the 
border left blank by other flowers that 
have finished blooming.

PEAT MOSS 
Peat moss is a valuable soil improver for all 

gardens. It consists chiefly of decomposed 
vegetable or organic matter and increases the 
humus content of the soil. It is spongy in nature 
and absorbs ten times its weight in water 
which it releases to the plants during periods 
of drought. Use Peat Moss liberally on flower 
and vegetable gardens and as a top dressing 
for lawns. Mulch roses, fruit trees and other 
shrubs to conserve moisture in the soil. A bale 
of Peat Moss when loosened will cover 700 
square feet of soil.
