NEW ERA 
in Home Gardening 

In recent years science has been applied to the art of 
tilling the soil, with startling results. We can now fumi- 
gate our garden soils to destroy insects, diseases and 
weed seeds. Chemicals for weed control almost supplant 
cultivation of some crops. Other potent new chemicals 
destroy insects and prevent destructive disease from 
attacking plants. Fungicides coat seeds to prevent them 
from destruction by damping-off organisms in the soil. 
Pellatizing small seeds makes uniform planting much 
easier, germination more certain. Soil aeration tools by 
their mechanical earthworm action enable us to cultivate 
our lawn soils, promoting deeper rooting and moisture 
conservation. The number of products which science has 
brought to agricultural practice are numerous and have 
contributed much to the tremendous productivity of 
large farms as well as home gardens. Each makes the 
task easier, our efforts more productive. 
Since fine turf 1s one of our major interests you will 
find on display here, in addition to our WESTCHESTER 
GREEN lawn, individual plots of many different grasses, 
including each of the varieties used in WESTCHESTER 
GREEN. Other grasses in the display plots in- 
clude some whose commercial introduction 1s still in the 
future, but which offer great promise for lawn 
improvement.
