LAWN MAINTENANCE 
{Continued from page 272.) 
During the hot months of summer 
do not cut the grass too short, and 
if the grass is cut once every week 
the lawn will be greatly benefited by 
allowing the clippings to remain — ^do 
not rake. 
Applying manure in winter time 
when the ground is frozen does not 
benefit the lawn much, even though 
it is allowed to remain there as long 
as possible in the spring. It is just 
like giving a man a drink of whiskey 
when he doesn’t need it. 
It is during the hot months of sum- 
mer that the lawn needs the fertiliz- 
ers and protection, and this is sup- 
plied in an ideal way by top dressing.

into the bark and so shut off the supply 
of sap in the inner cambium layers and 
cause death. 
If small strips of wood be placed 
between the wires and the bark, the 
pressure is distributed, and so the in- 
jury to the inner bark is lessened. 
Girdling also occurs when iron bands 
are placed around trees to prevent the 
splitting off of branches. This purpose 
may be equally effected by iron rods 
without danger to the tree. 
Hardy and Tender Water Lilies, 
Nelumbiums, Victorias, etc. 
These make appropriate decoration for parks, cem- 
eteries, etc. Our list is the most complete in this country. 
Write for our “Water Lily Leaflet” and see prices in our 
QUARTERLY WHOLESALE PRICE LIST. We will be 
pleased to give information and practical advice to 
superintendents who desire to use this class of plants.

PHILLIPS BOOTS 
preserve the beauty of the lawn. Horses working on 
golf grounds, lawns, parks and cemeteries should 
wear the Phillips steel boot. It prevents the hoof 
from sinking in the ground or injuring the grass. It 
is of vast importance when the ground is soft in the 
early spring, and after heavy rains. Send outline or dimensions of hoof 
for trial set. Price $8.00 per set of four. Satisfaction guaranteed.

PARK AND CEMETERY 
CARTS 
The "Larchmont” oart shown above was 
originally designed for use in Central Park, 
New York, to carry grass, leaves, brush, sod, 
mowers, tools, supplies, etc., but their con- 
venient form, combining the low-down fea- 
ture with large carrying capacity and ease 
to load and unload, has brought them into 
quite general use in both parks and cemeter- 
ies. 
We also make a full line of two and four 
wheel dumping carts with either narrow or 
wide tires.
