DON'T HAVE WEEDS 
Weeds rob your grass and plants of valuable moisture and 
mineral salts necessary for good growth. Spray them early 
in the spring or summer before they have a chance to flower 
and form new seeds. For best results spray weeds after they 
are two inches tall and while they are growing actively.

not obtained during a period of drought.

DON’T HAVE CRAB GRASS 
Timing of the treatment for crab grass is important. Crab 
grass germinates early in the spring and if treatment is made 
then the seedlings will be killed as they start growing. Fer- 
tilize and re-seed vacant spots regularly after killing out crab- 
grass or weeds. Do not cut your lawn grass shorter than two 
inches if crabgrass is a problem as close mowing favors the
