Peat Moss 
PEAT MOSS—Nature’s Self-Improver. Peat Moss im- 
proves the physical structure of the soil. It absorbs ten 
times its weight in water, or more, conserving it, releas- 
ing it for the plants in periods of drought. 
Peat Moss makes soils favorable to beneficial soil bac- 
teria, necessary to good vegetative growth. Plants con- 
sume humus and so do the bacteria in their operation of 
transforming air nitrogen into valuable plant food. Peat 
Moss tends to increase the humus content of the soil. 
Peat Moss is available to use in hotbeds and cold 
frames; also to work in the soil of your flower beds, vegetable garden, 
around trees, shrubs and hedges. It helps to hold the moisture and keep 
the soil from packing. It is also just the thing to use to top-dress beds of 
bulbs after they have been planted. By giving beds a top-dressing of 
about two inches of Peat Moss during the summer, it keeps the beds 
from drying out. It is fine to use on lawns. It is also fine to use for stor- 
ing roots of dahlias, tuberoses, gladiolus and other bulbs during the 
winter. 
Peat Moss is clean, has no disagreeable odor and is free from weed 
seeds. Large bales usually contain 18 bushels. Price: Not prepaid. 
l-bu. bag, $1.00; 2-bu., $1.95; half bale, $3.50; bale, $5.25.
