FALL GRASS ON LAWNS. 



The discussion of tliis vexing prob- 

 lem has been of much interest to the 

 writer for a few years a.go the pest 

 was BO prevalent here as to seriously 

 injure the lawns. Several methods 

 were followed; in fact, about every- 

 thing was tried except pulling by hand, 

 a means few are situated so they can 

 indulge in it. Good sharp scythes, 

 with men that knew how to keep them 

 sharp, proved of great help, but when 

 the "Clipper" lawn mower came out 

 it was .<>epn at once that this was Just 

 what we had been waiting for. This 

 machine, working on the same prin- 

 ciple as the liay mower, by means of 

 the teeth, runs under the crab grass, 

 lifts it up, and the knife does the 

 rest. If the "Clipper" mower is used 

 as soon as the grass shows signs of 

 flowering and once again later in bad 

 spots before seed is matured, there 

 will be no recurrence of the trouble 

 the next year provided, of course, good 

 grass seed is sown on the bald spot 

 made so by the death of the crab grass. 



The Clipper mower is not the kind 

 of implement the average man wants 

 to push for half a day, neither is it 

 prescribed to be used before residents 

 liave had their breakfast — better wait 

 until there are other sounds abroad 

 also. It can, however, be warranted to 

 ■eradicate this pest as no other method 

 will, and only entails a little more 

 "push" than the every-day routine of 

 lawn mowing, plus the grass seed.
