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 pow- 

 er to kill the common lawn weeds while leaving the turf itself unharmed. 

 Today, weeds in the home lawn are completely unnecessary and out-of- 

 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.

WHATEVER 

 THE NEED!

Some sunny lawns require one 

 type of seed; some need another. 

 No single variety or mixture of va- 

 rieties can take care of all situa- 

 tions. But whatever the need, we 

 can supply the seed that is best 

 suited. 



DEEP SHADE 



Wherever cool shade makes it dif- 

 ficult to obtain a good lawn, our 

 special shade mixture is heartily 

 recommended. We have chosen ex- 

 cellent quality, shade enduring 

 grasses and clovers that will give 

 you good results. 



SPECIAL USES 



We have just the right grass seed 

 for every purpose. We can give 

 you special deep-rooted grasses for 

 the sloping lawn, the ideal grasses 

 for planting on golf courses, parks, 

 estates, cemeteries ... or for just 

 any other special use. Just tell us 

 what you want.
