HOW TO CARE FOR IT 
Mowing, watering, fertilizing, weed control and insect control are the routine requirements of a well- 
kept lawn. ‘Three of these needs can be taken care of at one time by using one of the new three-way prepara- 
tions in which fertilizer, weed killer and insecticide are skillfully combined. Ask us for details. 
When possible give your lawn a good top-dressing of organic matter at least once a year. Garden com- 
post, peat moss, well rotted leaves, sterilized cow manure, sheep guano are all good materials for top dressing. 
Application should be made in early spring. Remember a top dressing of organic material does not remove 
the need for chemical fertilizers, but it will do for your turf what no chemical fertilizer can possibly do.
