Merion B27 Blue Grass 
After years of selection and trial Merion h 
definitely established its superiority as compared 
to Kentucky Blue, in these characteristics. It has 
lower habit of growth standing closer cuttin 
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 Merion Bluegrass is sown alone you 
should sow it at least 2 lbs. per 1000 sq. ft. 94% 
to 3 Ibs. will give you a quicker turf and, of course, 
less of a weed problem. Mix the seed with dry 
sand for evener distribution. Liberal feeding will 
lessen the time required for a good turf. 
Seed supply is again very limited.

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 sa. 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 sq. ft. 
6% oz. $1.00, 26 oz. $3.00, 61 Ibs. $8.85. 
Killing Weed Seeds in the Soil before Sowing Lawns 
It is possible to accomplish this. It means preparing the soil completely, that is making a_ good seed bed 
about a month before active sowing. Immediately after the soil is prepared, spread Aero-Cyanamid evenly 
over the surface at the rate of 50 Ibs. per 1000 sq. ft. For the next 4 weeks keep moist by frequent sprink- 
ling and then the seed may be sown, disturbing the soil as little as possible. 
Ask for complete bulletin on the use of Aero-Cyanamid and its cost for the area you have to seed.
