finest deposits of pure Sedge Peat in this 
part of the country. Analysis as deter- 
mined by commercial chemists, Thornton

GLEN AIR-DRIED PEAT 
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. 
100 pounds of dry Peat spread 1% inch deep will cover an area 5x 7 
feet or 35 square feet. A 20-yard truckload at about 800 pounds 
to the yard, 21/4 yards to the ton, will cover approximately 5600 
square feet, 1% inch thick or 2800 square feet 1 inch thick. 
WHAT TO DOIT WITH 
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.
