LAWN WEED CONTROL . . 



At Your Command 



Just a few short years ago, weed-free lawns were a rarity. 



Now, almost overnight, weed control has become easy, almost 

 automatic. Out of the laboratories have come new chemicals 

 with the miraculous power to kill the common lawn weeds 

 while leaving the turf itself unharmed. 



Today, weeds in the home lawn are completely unnecessary 

 and out-ox-date ... in fact, they may well be classified as just 

 "bad housekeeping." 



Please be sure, then to look up the weed killers described later 

 on in this book. And if you have any questions about them, be 

 sure to consult us. We can tell you exactly which controls to 

 use — and when. And we have them in stock.

 SPECIAL PURPOSE GRASSES 



FOR SUNNY PLOTS 



We offer you a fine mixture of sturdy, hardy grasses 

 that thrive in locations exposed to the blazing sun. 

 Because weed control is more difficult in sunny 

 places, our special mixture contains vigorous grasses 

 that will starve weeds out and help give you the 

 weed-free lawn you desire. 



FOR SHADY SPOTS 



Wherever shade makes it difficult to obtain a good 

 lawn, our special shade mixture is heartily recom- 

 mended. We have chosen excellent quality, shade 

 enduring grasses and clovers . . . and have blended 

 them into a mixture that will give you surprising 

 results.
