or spots caused by dogs can be improved by 
aerifying the sod followed by thorough

compounds readily available from your seed dealer, are 
effective remedies. 
WEED CONTROL — Eradication of weeds 
from the modern lawn is no longer a back- 
breaking chore. Hand weeding can prac- 
tically be eliminated through the use of se- 
lective weed killers applied in liquid or 
dry form. These preparations are easy to 
apply and most effective. Consult your seed 
dealer for recommendations. 
Building a lawn is not a difficult operation, but 7 
takes time and every step should be given careful con- 
sideration. Usually the lawn area is the very founda- 
tion of your home garden. Nearly all plantings of flow- 
ers, trees and shrubbery are planned to coincide with 
and to complement this lawn. Give your lawn the atten- 
tion needed to preserve and help its natural will to 
grow and you can have truly ‘“‘a Lawn of distinction.”
