and in no way objectionable, while it supplies to the soil the 
requisite food for a luxuriant and uniform growth of grass. It 
may be applied at any time during the year without injury to 
young grass, and a remarkable improvement will soon be noticed. 
The quantity required varies somewhat, according to the con¬ 
dition of the lawn, but in most cases a 10-lb. bag, will be found 
sufficient to cover 300 square feet of space. 5-lb. package 25 cts.
