CRAB GRASS 
The greatest problem confronting lovers of a beautiful 
lawn is the control of crab grass. Often lawns that are 
superb in spring and early summer, are taken by crab grass 
later and turn brown in autumn. So far as we know, regard- 
less of price or source, there is no crab grass seed in any 
lawn seed or any mixture of lawn seeds. This is due to the 
fact that lawn grass seeds are gathered so early that crab 
grass has not yet gone to seed. 
We can also assure you that there is no lawn grass plant 
which actually turns into crab grass. Crab grass is an 
annual and dies completely every year. It is useless to de- 
stroy crab grass plants after they have gone to seed. as it is 
the seed they drop which lies dormant in the soil and pro- 
duces new plants the following year. (One crab grass plant 
will produce several thousand seeds.) 
To control crab grass in your lawn: 
Plant the best seed. 
Use enough of a balanced fertilizer. 
Do not cut your lawn shorter than 1% inches. 
Water thoroughly. (Do not sprinkle.) 
Produce a thick turf and crab grass will not be found 
growing there. 
The use of chemicals has proven of great value. 
CRAB GRASS KILLER 
“GONE WITH THE WIND" 
“Gone With The Wind” is put up in 6-ounce bottles. 
Mix the contents of one can with 5 gallons of water and 
spray it on 660 square feet of lawn surface. We recom- 
mend a compressed air sprayer, or any type of pressure 
sprayer that will give an even distribution. Sprinkling 
cans have been used with good success. Since there is no 
uniformity in the outlet holes of sprinkling cans, we sug- 
gest that you experiment with plain water to see just how 
many gallons it takes to cover 660 square feet, then add 
the 6 ounces of “Gone With The Wind’ to that amount 
of water. 
Permanent grasses are usually temporarily discolored 
for a period of from ten days to two weeks after which 
time they resume their natural color, Price $1.00.
