Remove dead grass on old 
lawns. On bare spots proceed 
as in new lawns. On estab- 
lished lawns, top dress with 
mixture of '/, peat and !/, 
soil, or 1/3 peat, 1/3 sand 
and 1/3 soil. 
BLOOMING FLOWER AND VEGETABLE GARDENS 
Turn soil with spading fork to depth of 6''. Spread I inch 
of MICHIGAN PEAT and mix. For acid-loving plants use 
more liberally. 
STURDIER EVERGREENS 
These thrive best in peaty soils. Rhododendrons, azaleas, 
hemlocks, etc., do best when planted in Early Spring and Fall. 
Mix '/2 peat and '/2 soil around the roots when planting. For 
established evergreens, use a year round mulch of MICHIGAN 
PEAT. This makes a natural environment, and results in finer 
plants. 
PROTECTIVE MULCHING 
Before summer, thin out and transplant plants. Spread 1" 
moist MICHIGAN PEAT around each shrub. This will pre- 
vent crusting and keep underneath soil cool. After the first 
frost, put a I'' layer of MICHIGAN PEAT over the garden, 
and around the base of trees, covering root area. The sensi- 
tive roots will be protected this way, preventing Winter-Kill. 
In the Spring, the peat can be used anywhere in the garden. 
ATTENTION! NURSERYMEN AND GROWERS 
| For plants requiring neutral soil, add 2 Ibs. ground limestone to 100 
Ibs. MICHIGAN PEAT and mix thoroughly.

TREES AND HEDGES 
In digging holes for trees, 
loosen soil and work in 
MICHIGAN PEAT, about 30% 
by volume, before setting 
them out. 
LUXURIANT ROSES AND SHRUBS 
The development of root growth is important. By mixing 1/3 
MICHIGAN PEAT and 2/3 soil when planting, they will 
bloom quicker. During hot weather, rose bushes should be 
mulched with | inch layer of peat around roots to keep them 
moist. During winter, mulch with 2"' layer. 
FULLER SEED FLATS — COLD FRAMES 
In seed bed, use mixture of 1/3 MICHIGAN PEAT, 1/3 
sand and 1/3 soil. In addition to maintaining moisture, 
MICHIGAN PEAT will bring life to the soil and cause faster 
seed germination. Plantlets grown this way will develop strong 
roots and may be easily lifted. 
SAFE TRANSPLANTING 
To thin out seedlings or transplant perennials, mix MICHI- 
GAN PEAT with soil in the proportion of '/2 peat to !/p soil. 
is helps new plants to take hold and reduces transplanting 
osses. 
PLANTING AND STORING BULBS 
In planting tulips or other bulbs, soil should be spaded to 
a depth of 8"' and mixed with 25% MICHIGAN PEAT. Ideal 
for packing and storing bulbs and fruits. 
MICHIGAN PEAT is an outstanding favorite among florists, nurserymen, arborists and growers. They find it 
economical, efficient and unequalled. The country's largest nurseries use it in their work. Excellent for growing 
tobacco, celery, tomatoes and all types of flowers and trees. Make your own tests. Free sample sent to the trade.
