SL ieACEI PEAT. > bu. OOo 
Here is the bargain of all Tampa area, if “price” is your 
main objective! 1 bushel of Holmes Aged Peat is the usual 
equivalent of 1144 bu. of raw peat (sold by truckers at 40c a 
bushel). No matter what you pay for “raw” peat, it is over- 
priced by at least 25%. Here’s why: raw peat is new, spongy, 
bulky and usually wet—if sold quickly, it is tremendously 
profitable to the seller! Holmes Aged Peat is dried and crumbled 
by aging, broken down by at least 6 months of bacterial ac- 
tion to give it immediate feeding value for your plants. Packed 
only in over-size 114-bushel bags. 114-bu. bag. 50c; 3 bu. 89c; 
9 bu. $2.00; Cubic yard, bulk $3.25. 
NOTICE: Holmes does not sell wholesale to truckers; the 
only way you can buy Aged Peat is to buy from Holmes.
