GLEN AIR-DRIED PEAT 
We are fortunate in having one of the 
finest deposits of pure Sedge Peat in this 
part of the country. Analysis as deter- 
mined by commercial chemists, Thornton 
& Co., of Tampa, Florida, is as follows: 
Available Phosphoric Acid... .0.04% 
Insoluble Phosphoric Acid .. . .0.03% 
Total Phosphoric Acid........0.07% 
Nitrogen sccctoe recs compere 1.05% 
Equivalent to Ammonia...... 1.28% 
pH Value..4.90 (Neutral is 7) 
A report from the U. S. D. A., Bureau 
of Plant Industry, Washington, D. C. 
to whom we sent samples of Glen Peat, 
reads in part: ‘‘The material is exception- 
ally uniform in texture, composition and 
reaction. It consists of fibrous material 
derived from rootlets and underground 
stems of sedges and several grasslike 
plants. Plant remains from Sawgrass are 
not abundant however, and organic ma- 
terial from Sphagnum mosses is not pres- 
ent. The reaction is acid pH 4.5 to 5.0.” 
Moisture retention ratio, 4.26 to 1. 
This means that Glen Peat will hold, 
when fully saturated with water, more 
than four times its own dry weight. 
WHAT TO DO WITH IT 
Use it for lawns, both old and new— 
incorporated in the soil when building 
new lawns, or as top dressing at least 
once a year on established grass. 
Use it to build up humus content of 
light soils and to improve their moisture- 
holding capacity. 
Use it as a mulch wherever one is in- 
dicated, but particularly for acid-loving 
plants such as AZALEAS, CAMELLIAS, 
MOUNTAIN LAUREL, GARDENIAS, 
HOLLY, MAGNOLIA, TEA PLANTS, 
NANDINA and others. 
Use it thoroughly mixed with the soil 
in planting AZALEAS and CAMELLIAS; 
its acid reaction will help keep these 
plants in the best possible condition.
