BULGARIAN IVY 
vi (Hedra helix MBG* Bulgaria) 
(*MISSOURI BOTANICAL GARDEN) 
Truly a superb vine—providing a luxurious em- 
erald carpet for your home grounds. Far superior 
in hardiness, vigor, character and appearance to 
any other ivy for use. as a vine or shady-area 
round cover. Brought to this country by Dr. 
Ean Anderson, Director of the Missouri Bo- 
fanical Garden (Shaw's Gardens), in 1934. We 
introduced this plant last Fall and our supply 
was quickly usted. =. 
it has proven itself for creating a "smooth green 
carpet"’ in shady locations where grass will not 
grow. Subsequent plantings have proved it will 
tolerate full sun. Its performance as a vine on 
stone walls, buildings and tree trunks is equally 
satisfactory. 
its vigor, ease of establishment, verdant foliage 
and robust growth habit promise to revolu- 
tionize the use of ivy as a ground cover and 
vine in the midwest. Heretofore; none has been 
truly satisfactory. 
Our object is to bring you well-grown and vig- 
orous plants of this wonderful ivy at a cost that 
will permit you to use it freely. Plants are packed 
to reach you in perfect condition, and we quar- 
antee that they will.

MICHIGAN PEAT MOSS 
Peat Moss is essential for flourishing plants, except on 
the best soils. Even with very fertile soils, peat is im- 
portant to assure proper acidity for broadleaf ever- 
greens and many other plants. 
We have tried all kinds of peat—from Holland, Ger- 
many, Canada and several domestic sources—and find 
the Michigan Peat we offer to be the best. It is a 
sedge humus peat with a very hi altrogen level 
(2.4%) which gives plants a wondertul boost. We mix 
it 50-50 with top soil to work around roots or plant 
balls in all our plantings, and we actually grow 
Azaleas, Rhododendrons and the like in Michigan Peat 
straight. Use it freely on lawns, with house plants, 
flowers, shrubs or roses. Excellent as a mulch. It is 
an important component in our potting compost. It is 
splendid for Sreskiog up the heavy yellow clay that is 
probably in your yard.
