TROUBLED WITH CRAB GRASS? 
‘‘Gone with the Wind” is the Remedy 
Here is a unique preparation, successful in the West, for the 
control of the pest that becomes so disagreeable in the Fall. 
Simply dissolve the contents of the 8-oz. can in 5 gallons of 
water and spray over 660 sq. ft. of lawn. A compressed air 
sprayer is best, though a watering can may be used, only slight¬ 
ly discoloring the permanent lawn grasses for a brief period.

This is the popular low, creeping Clover that almost 
everyone wants in his lawn seed mixture because its little 
pink blossoms look so pretty. Grows quickly and will cover 
many a bare spot with bright green and dense foliage 
should other grasses fail. Thrives almost anywhere, but at 
its best in wet seasons and on heavy, moist soils. Especially 
adapted to pastures and should be in every pasture mixture. 
The seed is fine, and 8 to 10 lbs. will sow an acre. We offer 
an especially high grade lot of seed.

under shade trees as are plenty of seed and water. 
Trimming to allow more air and light is frequently 
helpful
