ACID PEAT 
We have an abundance of acid peat on our land. We use many loads 
of this each year and find it very good to supply humus to the soil. We 
make no claims that it is as good or better than other commercial brands 
that are offered. It is excellent for mixing with the soil for most wild 
flowers and hardy ferns. It is not a fertilizer, just a soil conditioner. 
Shredded and screened, 100-pound sack, $2.00. In bulk we offer this 
at $20.00 per ton, FOB nursery. 
PINE NEEDLES 
We have had several calls for pine needles for mulch and to make 
the soil acid. We can supply this in three-bushel bags at $1.50 each. It is 
practically weed-free and makes an excellent mulch for wild flowers and 
ferns. 
LEAF MOLD 
We have this also. Shredded and screened, 100-pound sack, $1.50. 
BOOKS 
We have calls asking for a book on wild flowers. We recommend 
“Pioneering With Wild Flowers” by Sen. George D. Aiken of Vermont: 
$2.75 postpaid. 
Christmas Trees And Evergreen Boughs 
For a number of years we have been selling Christmas trees and boughs 
from the overgrown trees. Trees are cut from trees which are bare near 
the bottom and are unfit for planting stock. We can furnish these up to 
eight to ten feet, starting at 18—24 in. size, in the following varieties: 
Blue Spruce, Black Hills Spruce and Norway Spruce. Also Norway and 
Scotch Pine, which some people prefer to spruce. Boughs in all varieties 
of evergreen. 
HALVORSON TREES. Finest selected Spruce trees, Chemicolored. 
These come in three colors and are beautiful, long lasting trees. Colors: 
Deep green, silver and white They are all 36—40 inches high and come 
with a stand in which a patented liquid called “Liquid Life” keeps the tree 
for a long time inside. 
If you are interested in Christmas trees and boughs we suggest you drop 
us a line any time and we will place such requests in a special file and in 
due time we will send you prices and other information in time for 
Christmas. 
We also have pine and spruce cones in different sizes, and will make 
up evergreen roping from any variety of evergreens we have. 
The Greenhouse people make up wreaths and mantel pieces and if you 
are interested in such, drop them a line: Ferndale Greenhouse, Askov, 
Minn., or make a note when writing to the nursery and I will see to it 
that it is called to their attention.
