CARTERS SPECIAL MANURES FOR STRENGTHENING GRASSES, 
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 Mixture . 
FOR TOP DRESSING OR RAKING IN. 
FOR GENERAL PURPOSES ON OLD AND NEW LAWNS. 
As usgcI on Cartel’s Gold Medal ” Lawn at the Paris Exhibition, 1878 (beating thirteen 
other British and Foreign Competitors). 
Directions for using* Curters Lciwn Mctnure. 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. 
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. 
Price in Bags—14 lbs., 4/- ; i cwt., 7/-; £ cwt., 10/- ; 1 cwt., 18/-; Tins, 1/-, 2/-, and 3/- each. 
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 may 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 
gound is prepared and levelled for the seed. 
Carters Special Grass Manure discourages the growth of all weeds and clovers, stimulates and improves the 
growth of the grass, and produces a sward of a rich Emerald green colour. 
The Superintendent at the Oval pronounces this Manure as the best dressing he has ever applied, and claims that the 
splendid condition of the ground during the past few seasons is due to its efficacy. 
Price in Sealed Bags—14 lbs., 5/6 ; £ cwt., 9/6 ; £ cwt., 15/6 ; 1 cwt., 25/-; Trial Boxes, 2/6.

was splendid from the first tee to the last, the new holes playing beautifully. . . . Braid expressed himself in glowing terms with regard to the links. He 
□ever wished to play on a more delightful course.”
