HOW TO CARE FORA 
GOOD LAWN 
Lawns now in good shape should be fed twice a 
year with AGRICO FOR LAWNS-—in the Spring 
between Washington's Birthday and St. Patrick’s 
Day—in the Fall between Labor Day and Thanks- 
giving. AGRICO FOR LAWNS gives best results 
because it is specially made to stimulate thick, 
lush growth of deep-rooted grass. 
FEEDING § Broadcast AGRICO FOR LAWNS 
when grass is dry at the rate of 2 lbs. (2 pints) 
to each 100 sq. ft., by hand or with spreader. 
Water lawn immediately after applying 
AGRICO, being sure to soak ground to get fer- 
tilizer well down to grass roots. If water is not 
available, brush fertilizer off grass with back 
of rake. 
WATERING During late spring and summer, 
NEVER WATER THE LAWN until it is absolutely 
necessary .. . then give it a good soaking toa 
depth of 4 or 5 inches. Too frequent and too 
light waterings do more harm than good...they 
cause shallow rooting and weaken the grass. 
MOWING po NOT CLIP 
TOO CLOSE...use a sharp 
mower and adjust it to cut 
the grass not less than ]!/ 
inches above the ground. 
Frequent mowing stimulates 
thicker, sturdier growth. 
Let the clippings remain on the ground. 
LIMING Apply finely-ground limestone every 
three years or so—5 lbs. per 100 sq. ft. If soil 
is sandy, apply 3 lbs. per 100 sq. ft. 
REPAIRING A 
RUN-DOWN LAWN 
1 Rake off dead grass, weeds, dead leaves as 
soon as frost is out of the ground. 
2 Rake or dig up bare spots and incorporate 
lime, if needed (see above) also humus and 
AGRICO FOR LAWNS— 
3 lbs. per 100 sq. ft. Fill in 
all depressions to make a 
level surface. Rake again 
. roll lightly to prepare 
fine seed bed. 
3 Use best quality seed. 
Sow evenly. Rakein gently, 
covering seed with thin layer of soil. 
4 Roll lightly to bring seed in close contact 
with the soil and to level out the humps and 
low spots. Keep sprinkled with fine spray until 
germination is complete. 
FEED YOUR LAWN in early Spring and again in 
Fall. Broadcast AGRICO evenly, 3 Ibs. (3 pts.) per 
100 sq. ft., rake in and water thoroughly. For even 
distribution, broadcast half of the AGRICO from 
north to south, the other half east to west. 
NOTE: AGRICO is more economical because you use it 
sparingly —and dellar for dollar, it gives better results. 
HOW TO HAVE A 
BEAUTIFUL GARDEN 
FLOWERS: Flowers need a special plant-food to 
help them grow stronger, deeper roots and better 
bloom and color. Use AGRICO FOR GARDENS 
for this important job. 
1 Spade ground to depth of 6 to 8 
inches, working soil to fine consist- 
ency. Apply limestone—5 lbs. per 100 
sq. ft.—every three years. 
2? In Spring, place 3 lbs. AGRICO 
FOR GARDENS per 100 ft. of row 
(half on each side) in bands along 
flower bed borders and work it into soil. 
3 Broadcast AGRICO evenly over 
entire garden area, 3 lbs. per 100 
sq. ft. Rake soil to make level, mellow 
seed bed. Do this 3 or 4 days before 
seeding or setting out plants. 
4 When plants begin to bud, place 
a tablespoonful of AGRICO around 
plants at edge of foliage, but away 
from roots. Work lightly into soil. 
es ee 
Broadcasting AGRICO 5 Gardens need 10 to 12 inches of 
Pe — water per season. Water flowers 
enough to keep ground moist to depth 
of 4 to 6 inches. 
6 For beautiful Perennials. Sprinkle 
2 tablespoonfuls AGRICO FOR 
GARDENS per average-size bush 
evenly in band around each bush, 
keeping it away from stalk. Apply in 
early Spring when buds appear, then 
every 30 days up to August.
