ami before any growth starts. There is then no 

 danger of burning the grass. Broadcast 20 to 30 

 pounds of ARMOUR'S LAWN AND GARDEN 

 GROWER on every 1,000 square feet of surface. 

 (10 feet by 100 feet.) It is best to broadcast 

 one-half the quantity in one direction, crossing 

 again with the other half to give even distribution. 

 Wet down thoroughly immediately after applica- 

 tion if practicable. 



After the early spring application, the best way 

 to apply fertilizers to existing lawns is by way of 

 top dressing with properly prepared compost. The 

 compost pile should be made of a mixture of half 

 sharp sand and half black soil. To each cubic yard 

 of approximately 2,500 pounds add 30 pounds of 

 fertilizer. The material should be thoroughly mixed 

 and screened. If the compost mixture is dry, it 

 should be well dampened when piled after screening, 

 then allowed to stand a week, turned over, and 

 spread evenly over the lawn at the rate of one-half
