USE PEAT MOSS TO CONDITION YOUR SOIL 
There’s just nothing like it to give you nature’s own way of making your soil 
friable and productive. Peat Moss makes gardening soils lighter, moisture-re- 
taining and easier-to-work. Plant roots e-x-p-a-n-d and breathe freely, the 
soil lends itself better to cultivation and discourages the growth of obnoxious 
weeds. 
HERE’S HOW TO USE PEAT MOSS 
Top six inches of soil with 3 inches of moist Peat 
Moss and dig in well, adding 5 Ibs. of Vigoro 
per bale. 
FLOWERS AND 
BULBS 
Spade a 2-inch layer of moist Peat Moss into top 
6 inches of soil. Add 3 Ibs. of Vigoro per 100 
square feet except for root crops such as potatoes, 
turnips, carrots, etc. 
VEGETABLES 
Dig as large a hole as you care too . . . but 
make it generous. This is especially true of 
azaleas, gardenias, and camellias which really 
need a large hole. Mix 1/3 moist Peat Moss with 
2/3 soil by bulk, for fillback and settle soil in 
filled hole by soaking. A’ 2-inch mulch of Peat 
Moss offers double benefit. Use at least 2/3 wet 
Peat Moss to 1/3 sandy foam for such acid plants 
as camellias, gardenias, azaleas, etc. 
SHRUBS 
TREES AND 
EVERGREENS 
Mix 1 to 3 inches of Peat Moss into top 6 inches 
of soil. Rake in the prescribed amount of Vigoro, 
sow grass seed and water. 
LAWNS (New) 
Topdress with 1/4 inch peat moss and rake it 
in well with back side of hoe. To renovate poor 
spots, work 1/2 inch peat moss into soil, add fer- 
tilizer, reseed, and water well. 
LAWNS 
(Established) 
Mix 1/2 peat moss to 1/2 good loam. A level 
teaspoonful of Vigoro helps if yellowing of leaves 
develops. 
Fill container with peat moss and keep moist. 
For tulips use 1/3 peat moss, 1/3 loam and 
1/3 sharp sand. 
HOUSE PLANTS 
AND 
BULBS (Potted) 
SUMMER MULCH—Cover soil after cultivating, when plants are growing 
well with 1 to 4 inches of moist peat moss. Keeps down weeds, mokes 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). 
BUY A BALE OF PEAT MOSS! 
One of the best gardening investments you can make. Peat moss does 
not deteriorate, is easy to store . . . and can be used any time. Use
