it soon disintegrates. 
* CRABGRASS—Digitaria sanguinalis; D. ischaemum also Syntherisma sp. 
Also known as Watergrass, Fall Grass, Fingergrass, Wiregrass 
Crabgrass is the No 1 lawn foe. It grows best when desir- 
able grasses suffer because of too much heat. Crabgrass 
gets along whether moisture is limited or plentiful. Being 
annual, except in subtropical climates, it seeds a new 
crop each year that will smother good grasses if left un- 
checked. The first plants appear in late spring or early 
summer after a week or two of good hot sunshine and as 
soil gets quite warm. 
SCUTL is Specific for Crabgrass 
While Crabgrass is by far the worst of hot weather weeds, 
other wild grasses may be a problem in some lawns. These 
include: Goose Grass (Eleusine indica), Panic, Witch, 
Quack, Johnson, Dallis (Paspalum) grasses; Foxtail species 
(Alopercurus, Setaria); Bermuda Grass (called Wiregrass 
in some localities and Devil Grass in California). 
The latter are botanically different from Crabgrass and 
accordingly are not affected by SCUTL. The important 
species of Crabgrass are of the genus Digitaria or Syn- 
therisma. In case of doubt, samples may be sent to any 
office of O M Scott & Sons Company for identification: 
Marysville, Ohio; Ridgefield, New Jersey; Palo Alto, 
California

4 Years of field research and two years of country-wide con- 
sumer use have established SCUTL as the answer to the Crabgrass 
problem. SCUTL has met and defeated Crabgrass on thousands of lawns. 
It's a cinch to use SCUTL—just shake the clean, dry granules directly 
from the box. Better still, broadcast over the lawn with a Scotts Spreader. 
-SCUTL-is—a—elean, granular compound—easy to use. 
You don't have to fool around with mixing or water carrying when you 
apply SCUTL. No fussing with heavy sprinkling equipment. SCUTL is 
ready to go—light weight but not dusty. 
STOP CRABGRASS BEFORE /T RUINS YOUR LAWW /{ 
WHEN — Apply as soon as possible after Crabgrass is plainly visible in 
the lawn so the SCUTL particles will fall on its leaves. It is advisable to 
stop Crabgrass before it harms the good grasses but there is no use putting 
it on until growth is actually under way. 
HOW — The best way is to use the Scotts Spreader. SCUTL may be broad- 
cast directly from the box but in that method many plants are missed and 
the results spotty. Over-all treatment of any infested lawn is recommended. 
REPEAT treatments are required at five to seven day intervals. If program 
is delayed until late summer when growth is matted, two applications at 
Double Rates are recommended. Earlier in the summer, three or four doses 
at Normal Rate do the job before Crabgrass does too much damage. 
SCUTL Is SUBTLE — !t works slowly so Crabgrass is destroyed without the 
unsightly browning of the entire lawn as is the case of typical ‘killers’. 
COST is reasonable, considering that an infested lawn can be saved 
from Crabgrass ruin while the owner continues to enjoy a nice green lawn. 
Square foot coverage shown for various pack- 
ages is for one NORMAL rate treatment.

SCUTL Is VERSATILE —|t may be used to save spring seeded lawns by stopping 
Crabgrass with little harm to the young grass. SCUTL can be used to take Crabgrass 
out of bentgrass lawns and putting greens. It causes little permanent injury to clover. 
SCUTL may be applied to lawns adjacent to flower or vegetable gardens. 
ST LOUIS 
Last summer we used SCUTL and our lawn was 
green through the winter and into the spring. 
Our neighbors have brown Crabgrass lawns... 
they were so skeptical when we used SCUTL!

Fighting Crabgrass was an all summer job for | 
have been on my knees the past five years dig- 
ging it up. Now after using SCUTL, all | see are 
dead plants

| used SCUTL according to your directions and 
find it 100% satisfactory. | do believe it should 
be used more often when Crabgrass is real bad

| applied SCUTL to my front lawn and in one 
week .dead patches of Crabgrass were plainly 
visible. | find there was more of it than | 
guessed. SCUTL didn't do the slightest harm 
to the good grass.
