the reddish tint. They are also more regularly formed than the old variety, having a 
tendency to a globular shape, and the quality is excellent.

CARTERS’ SPECIAL MANURES FOR STIMULATING GRASS. 
Grass that is kept constantly under the influence of the Mower requires stimulating at intervals or it will weaken and become thin. 
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. 
For general purposes on New or Old Lawns. 
Is., 2 s., and 3 s. per box ; 14 lbs., 4 s. ; 28 lbs., 7 s. ; 56 lbs., 10 s. ; 112 lbs., 18 s. 
Directions 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 distribute it as evenly as possible, as the appearance 
of the Lawn will be materially affected by this. For top 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. It should not be exposed to a hot sun when stored, or 
in a damp place. Sow 4 cwt. per acre. 
A 14 -lb. bag will dress 1,000 sq. ft. A 3 s. box will dress 500 sq. ft. 
A 2 s. box. will dress 200 sq. ft. A Is. box will dress 70 sq. ft. 
CARTERS’ SPECIAL GRASS MANURE, No. 2. 
For thickening Cricket Pitches, Tee Pieces, &c., and checking the 
growth of weeds. 
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. Apply at the rate of 2 oz. to the square yard. A 2 s. 6d. 
Box will dress 60 square yards; a 56-lb. bag will dress a tennis court or a cricket 
pitch. 
Used with great success at “ Lord's" and the “Oval” during the past season. 
In sealed bags, 14 lbs., 5 s. 6d.; 28 lbs., 9 s. 6d. ; 56 lbs., 15 s. 6 d. ; 
II2 lbs., 25 s. Trial boxes, 2 s. 6d. Sow 4 cwt. per acre. 
Carters’ Fertilizing Fibre. — A perfect substitute for earth and manure ; a combined covering and stimulating material of cleanly application. Being of an 
absorbent nature, it readily retains the moisture necessary for the benefit of the seedling grass. A customer in Essex writes:— “ It may interest you to know that the Lawn 
Grass Seed you supplied, together with the Fibre, has resulted in a close, thick, luxuriant turf. If I had not seen this result I would not have believed it to be a possibility.” 
Price, in sealed bags containing 5 bushels, 7 s. 6d. ; per 5 bags, 32 s. 6d. ; per 10 bags, 60 s. A bag is sufficient to cover 20 square yards of ground.
