Fertilizing the Lawn 



If lawns are expected to thrive and grow, they must be nourished sufficiently to encourage normal growth. 

 They should have an application of Bolgiano's Lawn Bone Fertilizer, also Sheeps Head Brand Sheep Manure, each Fall 

 about September 15th to October 15th, and each Spring about March 15th to April 15th. 



Winter Covering for Lawns 



Lawns should be cut very closely about September 20th for the last time of the season, this date applies to climate equal 

 to the State of Maryland. 



Weeds at this time have stopped growing, and lawn grass is making its best growth of the season. An application of 

 bone fertilizer and sheep manure promote the growth of the lawn grass, very often forcing it five or six inches high, then 

 when the weather becomes cold this growth of long blades begin to droop and eventually fall and become matted over the 

 roots of the grass, forming a blanket that thoroughly protects the lawn during the cold winter months. 



Bolgiano's Bone Lawn Fertilizer 



The very best fertilizer to use on lawns. It contains a large percentage of raw bone and when used on the lawn in 

 early Spring will give a beautiful green lawn all during the entire Summer and Fall. Stable or chicken house manure should 

 never be used as a top dressing on lawns, as it always contains large quantities of weeds. We have therefore had prepared 

 for us this special lawn fertilizer, which is clean of all weed seeds, free from disagreeable odors and is acknowledged by all 

 that have used Bolgiano's Bone Lawn Fertilizer as being the very best for the lawns. It should be sown broadcast early 

 in the Spring or late Fall, 25 pounds to 300 square feet or 2000 pounds to the acre. When using less than above described, 

 two dressings should be given each year. Many of the best lawn makers prefer using two dressings both Fall and Spring.
