PEAT MOSS 
Peat Moss is made up of dry acid veg- 
etable humus, nitrogen, phosphate and 
other minerals. It is of a very light tex- 
ture and will hold about 15 times its own 
weight in water. For Blueberries, Aza- 
leas, Evergreens and Flowers it makes 
growing success doubly sure. Excellent 
as a soil conditioner because it adds hu- 
mus and the most important minerals to 
the soil and makes other minerals avail- 
able. Peat Moss is shipped in bags.
