THE CRAB GRASS MENACE 
The greatest problem which confronts lovers of beautiful law r ns over a large portion of the United 
States is the control of fall grass and crab grass. Often lawns which are superb during Spring and early 
Summer become rank during the late Summer and turn brown with Autumn. We could write a book on 
this subject and then find much material omitted, but we wish to discuss briefly this menace. 
So far as we know, regardless of source or price, there is not a single fall or crab grass seed in any lawn 
grass mixture of seeds. This is due to the fact that our grass seeds are mostly gathered from sections where 
these pests are not known or harvest time is so early the fall and crab grasses have not yet gone to seed. 
We can also assure customers that there is no lawn grass plant which actually turns into fall or crab grass. 
There are many tips to help you defeat this enemy of fine lawns. Space will not permit us to list very 
many. Fall and crab grass are annuals and as such, the plants completely die every year. The damage is 
caused by the seed they drop which lies dormant in your soil (or a neighbor’s) and produces new plants the 
following year. For this reason it is useless to destroy plants after they have seeded. One’s only hope then 
is to use a burner which through intense heat will kill seeds in the soil. The attack should start before these 
plants go to seed. It may help to let the grass grow tall and then cut close catching the leaves or blades 
at the time seed is forming and burn the cuttings. It will help to scalp the lawn before plants go to seed. 
If only a small space is affected, the plants may be dug. The use of chemicals such as Sodium Chlorate 
has proven of great value on large areas. Special information on this type of control will be sent by D. 
Landreth Seed Co., if requested. The best obtainable seed, proper watering (not sprinkling), good drainage, 
balanced feeding, a thick stand of turf, elimination of crab grass before it goes to seed, will entirely control 
the pest and a perfect carpet of velvety turf will follow. Good luck!
