The best manure for Grass Lawns, Tennis Courts, Bowling Greens, Golf Links, etc. 
Apply Spring and Autumn, using 2 oz, to the square yard at each application. 
BaPP’s Lawn Phytobpoma is composed of those ingredients calculated to encourage a vijtorous growth 
of grass only, and in this respect differs from the potash manures, which are apt to stimulate clovers and 
coarse weeds. We can confidently recommend it for all grass lands, as, by Us use, a thicker growth and a 
richer colour will be obtained. It is a highly concentrated manure, and is therefore economical in use, a 
small quantity only being required at each application. Circular with fuller particulars sent on application.
