ILAmmoniated Lawn Lime, a light top dressing for lawns, does it. Kills flat-leaved weeds, such as 

 Dandelion, Daisy, Plantain, Sorrel, Chickweed, Moss, etc., in 48 hours. 



^^Saves time and labor weeding lawns. 



I^Is far superior to hand weeding, because it kills the weeds, making the pulling up or injuring the 

 grass unnecessary. This wonderful compound will kill the weeds without injury to the grass, when 

 used as directed. If very weedy, 1 lb. to 40 square feet; 25 lbs. to 1000 square feet (20x50). Half 

 to one-quarter amount if moderately weedy. 



AMMONIATED LAWN LIME 



Makes Grass Grow. Insures a New, Vigorous Growth. 



ILPi'oduces a lawn grass that is wonderfully luxuriant, and a rich green distinctly noticeable. 



HAmmoniated Lawn Lime is now in general use throughout the country, with results so satisfactory 

 as to insure repeated orders from a single trial. It is guaranteed as represented.

place his growing contracts not only 

 with cultivators who are favorably situ- 

 ated as to climate and soil for growing 

 certain seeds, but with those who are 

 likely to continue to grow seeds and by 

 a better knowledge of their cultural re- 

 quirements secure greater uniformity 

 and stability. In order to induce such 

 men to plant seed crops it might be 

 necessary to pay better prices for grow- 

 ing, but this would be more than 

 balanced, even financially, by the elimi- 

 nation of careless and incompetent 

 growers, who are apt to fail to deliver 

 the expected crop and through whose 

 negligence carefully selected stocks are 

 often lost. The advantage accruing 

 from a clientage of experienced and 

 careful growers interested in the vari- 

 etal characteristics of the stocks they 

 grow and who by greater care and bet- 

 ter cultural methods would grow not 

 only better seed but in more uniform 

 quantities, thus lessening the liability 

 to alternating periods of scarcity and 

 surplus, would more than offset the 

 higher price paid the farmer. 



(3) There is a possibility of great 

 improvement on the part of the farmer 

 grower through more careful study not 

 only of the particular crop but of the 

 variety best adapted to his own condi- 

 tions of soil and climate and of the cul- 

 tural method which will give him the 

 greatest certainty of a crop that shall 

 be bright, clean, highly viable, and best 

 suited for seedsmen's use. Manytases 

 are known where two crops from the 

 same stock seed were grown on adjacent 

 farms by men who were considered 

 equally good cultivators, and one crop 

 was clean, viable, and thoroughly satis- 

 factory for use as seed, while the other,

Farmers seldom appreciate the im- 

 portance to the seedsman of receiving 

 the full quantity of seed contracted for. 

 This in some cases is so great as to 

 justify seedsmen when dealing with a 

 professional seed grower in making an 

 advance of from ten to fifty per cent 

 in price for a guaranteed delivery of 

 the full amount of the contract. We 

 may question the wisdom of making a 

 guarantee of this kind, but the fact that 

 such prices are paid shows how im- 

 portant and valuable the seedsman re- 

 gards the careful handling of the crop

 usable seed.
