Merion B27 Blue Grass 
After years of selection and trial Merion has 
definitely established its superiority as compared 
to Kentucky Blue, in these characteristics. It has 
lower habit of growth standing closer cutting, 
remains greener in midsummer, spreads by under- 
grown root stalks with more vigor, making a close 
sod quicker, so is better able to crowd or hold out 
crabgrass and weeds. 
Merion may be sown alone or in mixtures with 
Fescues or other grasses as you would Kentucky 
Blue. When sown alone it is well to mix with sand 
for even distribution. Seed supplies are very 
limited. 
1% Ib. $1.50, Ib. $5.00. Ask for quantity price. 
Kentucky Blue. Used as the basis for most Lawn 
Mixtures in this section. It is a fine leaved perma- 
nent grass, deep rich green in color. It spreads 
by creeping roots and makes a very close turf 
when conditions are at all favorable. Blue grass 
is slow to establish itself, which is the reason 
why we recommend using it in mixture with other 
quicker growing grasses.

TO KEEP LAWNS FREE OF WEEDS 
Weedone—Lawn Weed Killer 
Containing the well-known 2,4D plus the newer 
material 2,4,51. Weedone is the most effective of 
the selective weed killers for lawns. It is non- 
volatile, so safer to use near plants that might be 
killed by drifting vapor. 
It will kill woody plants such as briars and 
persistent hard to kill plants such as Poison Ivy and 
Poison Oak. It even kills out tree stumps if used in 
more concentrated form. 
For most lawn applications the 8 oz. can mixed 
with 6 gallons of water will cover 1200 sq. ft. 
8 oz. can $1.00, qt. $2.75, gal. $6.95. 
Weedone—Crab Grass Killer 
Non-Poisonous Potassium Cyanate 
Eliminates Crab Grass and Chick Weed from 
lawns without killing clover or the regular lawn 
grasses. 
Another important point is the fact that Potassium 
Cyanate is not toxic to the soil. In fact it breaks 
down into a stimulating plant food. Grass seed can 
be sown right after it is applied if your plans work 
out that way. It is easy and economical to use. 
5 ozs. in 7 gals. of water treats about 1000 sa. ft. 
614 oz. $1.00, 26 oz. $3.00, 61% Ibs. $8.85.
