 of an ideal Putting green. This mixture will grow in most any soil. Lb. $.85. 100 Lbs. $75.00. Delivered free in United States.

Cutting the Lawn 



Use a good ball bearing lawn mower, as one of this type will outwear three or four cheap mowers, and can be operated with 

 much less energy, thus making lawn mowing a pleasure rather than a task. 



It is well to cut closely during the early Spring, and also the late Summer months when the weather is cool, but during 

 the hot midsumrner months grass should not be cut closer than two inches, because the soil is often very dry during this period, 

 and by close cutting the hot sun will be allowed to reach the roots of the grass directly often causing it to die. 



Eliminating Crab Grass and Other Weeds from the Lawn 



Most weeds found in the lawn are annuals, especially Crab grass and Foxtail, growing from seed only and living but one 

 year. These are about the two worst enemies of the lawn and usually make their strongest growth during the latter summer 

 months; being an annual grass, if much care is taken in cutting the lawn close during these months so they will not be allowed 

 to produce seed, they may be eliminated. It is best to cut the lawn frequently both ways so as to be sure of destroying all 

 seed stalks. Crab grass especially will smother out lawn grasses in spots, but when the weather begins to get cold, it will turn 

 yellow and die : then is the time to fill in these spots by seeding carefully and covering them with a light coating of rich top 

 soil that is free from weed seed. 



Nearly all weeds found on the lawn are the result of using stable manure or filthy top soil for winter covering. It cannot 

 be too strongly emphasized that as a rule, prepared fertilizers, due to their purity from weed seeds, are better for the lawn 

 than stable manure or top soil.
