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 
not 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:  pt., makes 8 gallons, 85c;3 
pt., makes 16 gallons, $1.50, postpaid.
