Guide to 
All-Year Lawn Management 
JAN. - FEB. Apply Tersan to control snow mold. 
MARCH Reseed thin areas on honey-combed soil. aie CWK to control 
chickweed, WEEDONE 2, 4, 5-T to destroy wild onion. Feed liberally 
using a good fertilizer. Grub-proofing with CHLORDANE should 
be done every three years. 
APRIL Roll lightly when soil is not too wet. Start regular cutting as soon 
as grass begins to grow. Aerify any spots in lawn which are hard 
and compacted with Aeri-Forke or Soilaire. Lawns to be completely 
renovated in spring should be aerated with power machine and spike- 
disced prior to seeding. 
Avoid building new lawns after April 15th. If necessary to proceed 
with new lawn after that date, consider use of temporary seed 
mixtures in areas where crab grass is known to be a problem. Timely 
sprinkling is required to insure quick germination of seed. 
MAY Make light supplement feeding with RAPID-GRO and a TRI-CON 
nozzle, or an application of MILORGANITE, the all-organic plant 
food, at rates not exceeding ten pounds per 1000 square feet. 
Liquid or dry formulations of Phenyl Mercury Acetate are most 
effective at this time when crab grass is in the seedling stage. 
JUNE Beware of chinch bugs in sunny areas around June 15th. Apply 
liquid or dry CHLORDANE or LINDANE for insurance against 
damage. 
JULY Crab grass weather. Avoid irrigation if possible. When necessary 
to water, do it thoroughly once a week. Start chemical crab grass 
treatments in late July with WEEDONE CRAB GRASS KILLER 
or MILCYANATE. Crab grass does not grow in shady places. 
Excess moisture and high humidity often cause severe turf damage. 
Applications of TERSAN will aid in preventing or controlling 
fungus disease. 
AUGUST If grub-proofing has not been done in past three years, apply 
CHLORDANE for grub control. Second brood of chinch bugs often 
appear in late August or September. Continue timely applications 
of WEEDONE CRAB GRASS KILLER or MILCYANATE. 
SEPT. Finest period of year to build a new lawn or renovate the old. Crab 
grass should be mostly under control by this time. Apply liberal 
fertilizer, aerify and spike disc, reseed. Water sufficiently to insure 
germination of seed. Avoid cutting new grass too short, top it off 
at about two inches. 
OCT.-NOV. Do not delay any necessary seeding beyond October 15th. Keep 
leaves off the lawn. 
DECEMBER Merry Christmas!
