PEAT MOSS 
Horticultural Grade—Nature’s Mulch and Soil Builder 
A thoroughly decayed, natural material contributing to the formation of humus, and valuable for all types of 
soils. Used in sandy soils to add fiber and make more moisture retaining properties, and in heavy or clayey soils 
its action is to make a more friable and better drainage condition. By the retaining of proper moisture content in 
the soil, the fertilizers are more promptly available and retained so that roots can feed on it as needed. Peat Moss 
is also a Wonderful preventative of soil leeching. 
Peat Moss is an especially useful material in the preparation of soil for all broadleaved evergreens, such as 
Laurel, Rhododendrons, Azaleas, and many others, and liberal quantities of it should be thoroughly worked into 
the soil before planting. 
Newly planted trees, shrubs, and especially evergreens of all types, are very much benefited by a liberal mulch 
of Peat Moss, and each Spring the last year’s mulch should be worked into the soil and a new mulch applied. 
It is also of value as a mulch for perennial beds, Rose bebs, etc.
