PEAT MOSS 
K? Large Bag, 
50 to 60 Pounds, Each $1.75 
You pay the express or freight charges. 
Order early so it can be shipped by 
freight as freight is cheaper, but takes 
longer. We have 2 kinds of Peat Moss. 
One is Acid for using with Azaleas, 
Blueberries, Blue Hydrangea and other 
acid-loving plants. The other type is 
Neutral. This is used with Roses, Shrubs, 
Perennials, Lawns and general use. 
Peat Moss is a very fine soil conditioner. 
It mellows heavy soils and helps bind 
sandy soils. It is a pure source of humus, 
needed by most soils. It is weed-free and 
odorless and helps the soil to hold mois- 
ture and retain plant food. Use 14 Peat 
Moss mixed with the soil when planting 
and you will get better results, as it 
hastens root development.

seeps through the entire length of the 
porous canvas and wets the ground thor- 
oughly without waste and without wetting 
the flowers or foliage. Is flexible so you 
can place it right where you want it. You 
simply put it on the end of your garden

RA-PID-GRO_ . 
The Guaranteed Liquid Plant Food 
This is a highly concentrated Plant Food, very easy to use. Just 
mix with water, one pound to 22 gallons. Used when planting, 
it makes the stock start quicker and do better. Then use it every 
2 or 3 weeks, especially early in the season. You will be greatly 
pleased at the results. Perennials, Roses, Shrubs, Trees, Berry 
Plants, etc., will do so much better: When fertilizing, take away 
some of the dirt from around the stock, making a hollow around 
it. Then the liquid can get down to the roots much better. After 
this liquid has soaked down, water thoroughly, then fil up 
the hollow with the dirt. 
For lawns, we recommend using the Special Nozzle. It costs only 
$1.50. You put it on your hose in place of an ordinary nozzle. 
This Special Nozzle automatically measures out the correct 
amount of Ra-Pid-Gro, mixing it right with the water. It is a fast, 
efficient and economical way to keep your lawn green, healthy 
and vigorous. 
Our stock is grown in the richest soils in America. It is healthy - 
and vigorous and will give you the best results if planted in 
proper soil. But unfortunately most soils are now deficient in 
some elements. Even a very minor element lacking, may make 
a big difference in growth. Ra-Pid-Gro contains all these ele- 
ments. That is why we urge especially you who know your soil 
is not the best, to use it. We guarantee it to please you. Then we 
know our stock will do so much better and you will get more joy 
and pride from your plantings. See page 49 for more informa- 
tion about Ra-Pid-Gro.
