Harry Stone had discovered a peat moss bog in the Savannas in Martin and St. Lucie Counties and was interested in having the moisture retention properties and/or nutritional properties of this Florida peat moss compared to that of the German peat moss and/or Michigan Peat Moss, That was currently being imported into the USA and Florida in large quantities by the local commercial flower farmers.
