CRAB GRASS KILLER 
TAT-C-LECT. While testing phenylmercuric- 
acetate at the Rhode Island State College in 
1946 for the control of fungus diseases in turf 
grasses it was discovered that this chemical had 
also killed nearly all the crab grass plants pres- 
ent in the turf. This immediately touched off 
efforts to formulate a product that would eradi- 
cate this widespread lawn enemy, and yet would 
mot endanger the best lawn grasses. 
Tat-C-Lect is the result of this experimenta- 
tion and testing. It was first offered in the late 
spring of 1947, and is today generally accepted 
as the outstanding selective crab- grass killer. 
It is a concentrated solution which is mixed 
with water according to directions, then applied 
to the lawn with a sprinkling can or a pressure 
sprayer. We recommend reseeding lawn areas 
choked by crab grass in August and early Sep- 
tember. Prices: 4% pt., makes 8 gallons, 85c; 
pt., makes 16 gallons, $1.50, postpaid,

Good seed is the first requisite for a beautiful 
lawn. Regardless of the effort and money spent 
on a lawn, inferior seed will produce a poor 
lawn. Olds’ Lawn Grass Seed has won a repu- 
tation for producing fine lawns and is widely 
used by critical landscape gardeners. All our 
mixtures are made of high-quality, heavy seed 
that is free from chaff, and none of our mix- 
tures contains timothy or cheap seeds. 
LAKES LAWN GRASS 
A good mixture at a low price. We have 
been making it for years and it has given gen- 
eral satisfaction. This mixture will probably 
make a better showing the first year than any 
of the others.
