Simply mix the powder with water to the desired consistency, l-lb. package, 30c; 5-lb. package, 85c. Better Plants with Peat Moss Peal Moss, If newly planted trees, shrubs and roses are put out in ordinary soil, you'll not get necirly as quick or satistfactory results as though you mix plenty of peat moss in that soil. It is a perfect soil conditioner. The soft, spongy peat moss opens the heavy soils and adds body to the light soils. Be liberal at planting time with it. Mix it with the soil and you'll find that the newly planted material will start off much better. The moisture-holding capacity of peat soon more than pays for its cost. Buy it by the bale and you'll have it when you need it. Large bales, $5.50 each; one-half bale, $3.00 each.

Take your pest control problems to any Yard and our salesmen will tell you what to use to best advaitage.
