MANURES FOR STIMULATING GRASS. 
The following special prescriptions are based upon many years’ experience, and are 
most useful for the purpose of imparting vigour, closeness, and colour. 
CARTERS LAWN MANURE. No. 1 Mixture. 
FOR TOP DRESSING OR RAKING IN. 
FOR GENERAL PURPOSES ON OLD AND NEW LAWNS. 
As used on Carters’ “Gold Medal’’ Lawn at the Paris Exhibition (beating thirteen 
other British and Foreign Competitors). 
Dil ections for using" Carters Lawn Manure, for putting - down a New Lawn, it should be sown as soon as 
the ground is thoroughly prepared for the seed, and raked in, care being taken to sow it as evenly as possible, as the 
appearance of the Lawn will be materially affected by this. 
hor fop Dressing, it should be sown immediately after cutting the grass, and, if possible, just before a shower of rain. 
If the weather is dry, water the Lawn after top dressing. This manure will be found very effective and lasting.

CARTERS SPECIAL GRASS MANURE. No. 2 Mixture, 
FOR TOP DRESSING ONLY. 
FOR THICKENING CRICKET PITCHES, TEE PIECES, PUTTING GREENS, &c., 
AND CHECKING THE GROWTH OF WEEDS. 
This Manure is recommended for top dressing only, and should be sown immediately after the grass has been 
mowed, and, if possible, just before a shower of rain, but should the weather be very dry it is advisable to thoroughly water 
the ground after applying the Manure. Old and deep-rooted weeds should be cut out or destroyed, but all Seedling Weeds 
will rapidly deteriorate under the influence of this preparation. Apply at the rate of 2 ozs. to the square yard. 
On poor soils we recommend an alternate dressing of our No. 1 and No. 2 Mixtures, or an Autumn or Early Spring 
dressing of the former ; for putting down a New Lawn, we advise our No. 1 Mixture. This should be sown as soon as the 
ground is prepared and levelled for the seed, and raked in, care being taken to sow it as evenly as possible, as the 
appearance of the Lawn will be materially affected by this. 
Carters’ Special Grass Manure discourages the growth of all weeds, stimulates and improves the growth of the 
grass, and produces a sward of a rich Emerald Green Colour. 
The authorities at the Oval pronounce this Manure as the best dressing they have ever applied, and claim that the 
splendid condition of the ground during the past few seasons is due to its efficacy.
