TERRA-LITE Vermiculite 
Vermiculite (a mica-like ore composed of thousands of separate layers per inch 
with a very small amount of water between each layer) is processed by heating at a 
temperature of about 2000 degrees F. This intense heat causes the tiny granules to 
expand, separating each layer into many tiny cells. It is TERRA-LITE brand 
VERMICULITE’S ability to hold many times its weight in water and still have abun- 
dant channels for the air to circulate that makes it the ideal growing medium. It is 
the high air-water content which hastens germination of seeds and stimulates root 
growth of both seedlings and cuttings. The colorful, unique structure of Terra-Lite, 
mixed with sand or soil, brightens display dishes, enabling plants to receive moisture 
for long periods of time, with only occasional watering. Roots spread out and grow 
freely. Terra-Lite used as a mixture in potting soil, helps provide air and moisture 
to roots. Soil remains light and aerated when 20 to 40% Terra-Lite is used in potting 
mixtures. Potted plants displayed in holding trays before sale, can be assured of con- 
tinuous water supply with a minimum of effort on the florist’s part. Two or three 
inches of Terra-Lite in the tray eliminates the daily watering job. 2 bu. bag, $1.85.

entirely free from weed seed and foreign 
matter. Absorbs and retains great amounts 
of water which !mproved the general tex- 
ture, condition, fertility and ventilation 
of soil, thus making plant life thrive.
