ingredients, designed to feed 
grasses and to keep them in a 
healthy condition. Several ap¬

tilizer ensure a beautiful lawn 
and a most wonderful putting- 
green. When building a lawn, 
from 1 ton to 1^ tons per acre 
(minimum, 50 pounds per 1,000 square feet) should be har¬ 
rowed or raked into the upper surface. Every spring and early 
autumn existing lawns may be given a dressing of 500 to 1,000 
pounds per acre (25 pounds per 1,000 square feet); when applied 
as a top-dressing to turf, it is best to mix the Emerald Grass Fer¬ 
tilizer with four times its bulk of fine soil or sand before broad¬ 
casting. 5 lbs. 50 cts., 10 lbs. 90 cts., 25 lbs. $1.75, 50 lbs. $3.25,

shrubs, broadcast lightly and 
rake well into the soil. For

the garden. Use it at the rate of 
1,000 pounds to the acre, or 
3 ounces to the square yard 
when preparing land for plant¬ 
ing in the spring. Good practice, 
too, is to spread General Garden 
Fertilizer between the rows of 
plants when they are growing and then to hoe it into the soil; 
use about 3 pounds per 100 running feet for this, repeating every 
month. When planting beans, cucumbers, etc., in hills, a handful 
worked into the soil under the hill will be a great help, and the 
same thing may be done when planting tomatoes, cabbages, 
peppers, peonies, etc. Before sowing seeds in rows a little General 
Garden Fertilizer may be placed in the drill and the soil stirred 
to mix it thoroughly. 5 lbs. 50 cts., 10 lbs. 90 cts., 25 lbs. $1.75,
