Nicholson’s Evergreen Lawn Dressing 
"The Wonder Fertilizer" Prevents Sun-Burned Lawns 
A beautiful lawn is one of the most attractive parts of your home. By using Nicholson’s Evergreen 
Lawn Dressing, you can easily have a beautiful velvety green lawn all summer, until frost. 
Nicholson’s Evergreen Lawn Dressing is especially formulated for lawns and golf greens. It con¬ 
tains a high percentage of nitrogen that promotes a quick and heavy, rich green growth; also contains 
other plant food elements that give a substantial root growth or foundation. 
If your lawn is built with a heavy root system which Nicholson’s Evergreen Lawn Dressing will do, 
it makes it almost impossible for weeds to grow or infest your lawn. Ten pounds of Nicholson’s 
Evergreen Lawn Dressing contains more actual fertilizer value than 200 pounds of ordinary stable 
manure, and it has no noxious weeds or grass seed in it—no bad odors; is easy to apply and resembles 
sand in looks. 
WHEN TO APPLY NICHOLSON’S EVERGREEN 
The first application of Evergreen should be made in spring (April or May), then again any month 
duiing the summer; just apply and sprinkle down thoroughly. You will see a difference in a few days. 
DIRECTIONS FOR USING 
Proper quantities to use: 100 lbs. to space 50x10(1 ft.; 50 lbs. to space 26x100 ft.; 25 lbs. to space 
i 2 y 2 xioo ft. 
On poor lawns, double quantities can be used with good results. The grass should be dry before 
applying the fertilizer, otherwise, if it is wet from rain or dew, the fertilizer will adhere to it and 
cause it to burn. 
Nicholson’s Evergreen Lawn Dressing is easy to apply by hand (it will not damage the skin), but 
care should be taken to apply it evenly. Do not try to cover too large an area at one time or you 
will have either started the application too heavily or too lightly. To insure even spreading we recom¬ 
mend that spaces about 10x10 feet or 4x25 feet be marked off by wooden stakes or stones, thus finishing 
your area as per measurements and amounts to use as stated above. 
A.ter applying Nicholson’s Evergreen Lawn Dressing, a thorough sprinkling should be given to wash 
the tiny particles from blades of grass, down into the soil where they can do their work. 25 lbs., $1.50; 
50 lbs., $2.50; 100 lbs., $4.00, f. o. b. Dallas. Ask for prices in ton lots.

USE FERTILIZER, RAISE BIGGER CROPS 
Peat Moss 
NATURE’S SOIL IMPROVER. A fine granulated Peat Moss. Peat 
Moss improves the physical structure of the soil. It absorbs ten times 
its weight in water, or more, conserving it, releasing it for the plants 
in periods of drought. 
Peat Moss makes soils favorable to beneficial soil bacteria, neces¬ 
sary to good vegetative growth. Plants consume humus and so do 
the bacteria in their operation of transforming air nitrogen into valu¬ 
able plant food. Peat Mos6 tends to increase the humus content of 
the soil. 
Peat Moss is clean, odorless, easily stored and handled. It promotes 
root development, resulting in strong, robust plants. 
Seed sown in soil mixed with Peat Moss germinates more quickly 
than seeds in soil alone. 
Peat Moss is available to use in hotbeds and cold frames; also to 
work in the soil of your flower beds, vegetable garden, around trees, 
shrubs and hedges. It helps to hold the moisture and keep the soil 
from packing. It is also just the thing to use to top dress beds 
of bulbs after they have been planted. By giving rose beds a top 
dressing of about two inches of Peat Moss during the summer, it 
keeps the beds from drying out. It is fine to use on lawns. It is 
also fine to use for storing roots of dahlias, tuberoses, gladiolus, and 
other bulbs during the winter. 
Peat Moss is clean, has no disagreeable odor and is free from weed 
seeds. Large bales usually contain 20 bushels. Large bales, price, 
$4.00 each.

elements of fertilizer—Nitrogen, Phosphoric Acid, Potash and Humus 
or decayed organic matter. 
On old lawns apply Tobacco Stems in the fall of the year. It gives 
the grass necessary plant food and provides protection during the 
winter months. 
On new lawns, the ground stems should be worked into the soil
