BEAVER PEAT HUMUS 
Beaver Peat is a rich dark brown 
color. Centuries of time were required to 
make it. Years of growth of ferns, mos- 
ses, grasses and fibrous plants, falling 
and decaying, aided by nature, com- 
pleted the task of forming it. In Beaver 
Peat you get America’s finest garden soil 
organic; a humus source that gives life- 
giving properties to soils the moment 
you dig it in — that retains its identity 
in the soil for many years. It is not to be 
compared with or confused with muck. 
Domestic Peat shipped direct from the 
pits in Ohio.
