CHECK CRAB GRASS NOW 
Treatment for 
Affected Areas 
Treat the affected areas 
with Sulphate of Ammonia. 
Dry treatment, mix 3 lbs. 
with enough sand fqjf ui>£t 
form distribution (usually a 
6 quart pail) to 100 sq. ft. 
After applying when the sun 
is down, water it, and do 
not be discouraged if the 
lawn appears dead. The 
perennial grasses which you 
desire such as contained in 
Abel’s seed mixtures will 
grow again from the roots, 
while the fall or crab grass 
which is annual will have 
been controlled. 
Seeding and 
Top Dressing 
Seed with Abel’s Grass 
Seed and top dress with 
Bovung (Pulverized Cattle 
Manure) or Sheep Manure 
which are excellent organic 
materials for top dress. 
How to Cut Grass 
Do not cut grass less than 
two inches, as at this height 
it will shade the crab grass 
and prevent its growth.
