well with 1 to 4 inches of moist peat moss. Keeps down weeds, makes further 
cultivation unnecessary and keeps soil moist and cool. 
WINTER MULCH—Apply about 2 inches of peat moss around all plants 
and hill up about 10 to 12 inches around base of roses and shrubs. Apply 
moist to prevent blowing. A splendid insulating material which prevents 
root injury by soil heaving (alternate thawing and freezing).

Many folks believe that planting by the moon 
is the best plan to follow. This time-honored 
custom has brought them good luck at all times. 
Here, briefly, is all the information necessary for 
practical guidance in Moon Planting. As seeds- 
men, of course, we cannot vouch for the effective- 
ness of this method, but we are glad to provide 
this up-to-date chart for those who want it. 
All edible things that produce their yield above 
the ground such as peas, beans, tomatoes, etc., 
should be planted during the increase while the 
moon is in a fruitful sign such as Cancer, Scorpio, 
or Pisces. Do not plant on the day moon changes 
quarters,
