Treatment For Shady Areas 
WHERE YOU HAVE LACK OF SUNLIGHT YOU HAVE A 
FROZEN OR SLOW RELEASE OF PLANT FOOD ELEMENTS 
AVAILABLE TO PLANT LIFE. ADD TO THIS SITUATION THE 
MILLIONS OF TINY ROOT FISSURES SENT UP FROM THE 
MAIN TREE ROOTS TO THE GROUND SURFACE 
FOR WATER AND YOU HAVE A HALF STARVED 
SOIL BED THAT HAS LITTLE TO GIVE 
While it is true that certain grasses do better in shade than 
others disappointment will not be avoided unless shaded areas 
are first treated and fed to sustain a lawn turf. 
1 If ground is dry top dress with one inch of weed'free loam and apply 4 lbs. 
of English Formula Lawn and Garden Dressing to the 100 square feet. 
2 If ground is damp rake surface vigorously (using iron rake) and apply 
5 lbs. English Formula Lawn and Garden Dressing to every 100 square 
feet. 
3 Seed and roll as previously suggested, using Emerson’s Shady Green Lawn 
Seed, a blend of special grasses for this purpose. 
SHADED AREAS NEED FINE SEED 
AND PROPER TREATMENT
