GARDEN SUPPLIES 
SPHAGNUM FOR 
GERMINATING 
It is simply impossible to germinate 
many seeds without the use of milled 
sphagnum moss. If you were over your 
seed pans all day long as the professional 
grower is you may find you could get along 
withoui it, but no professional grower 
would fail to have the fine moss on hand. 
It will save many a packet of valuable seed 
from loss due to an hours neglect, that can- 
not be avoided by one having other duties. 
Now packed in 14 bushel boxes contain- 
ing approximately 1/2 bushel; $1.50 postpaid. 
PEAT MOSS 
Necessary in the germination of many 
seeds such as Ilex, Vacciniums and other 
acid loving plants
