Platt’s ‘Special 10-5-5 Lawn Fertilizer’’ 
All lawns should be fed at least once during the 
year (early spring) with a good, well balanced, com- 
plete lawn fertilizer, to produce a healthy, vigorous 
turf. (Two and three times for best maintenance.) 
Turf grasses are usually more benefited by the 
higher nitrogen component of fertilizers which best 
serve to maintain the turf in vigorous condition. 
Platt’s “Special 10-5-5 Lawn Fertilizer” contains 
10% Nitrogen, 5% Phosphoric Acid, and 5% Potash. 
Approximately 50% of the nitrogen is from organic 
sources, making the nitrogen more slowly available 
and lasting. It is interesting to note that the per- 
centage of nitrogen used in Platt’s “Special 10-5-5 
Lawn Fertilizer” was determined by the United 
States Golf Association at Washington, D.C., as 
giving best results under a great variety of soil and 
cultural conditions. Only small amounts of other 
elements are found to be necessary in such a fertil- 
izer for established lawns. 
There is great economy in feeding your lawn with 
Platt’s “Special 10-5-5 Lawn Fertilizer” with 10 
pounds per 1,000 square feet for the early spring 
application with 5 pounds additional for application 
in late spring or early summer and a like amount in 
late August or early September. With this economy 
in mind, one can feed 1,000 square feet of lawn at a 
very moderate cost. 1234 lbs., $1.00; 40 lbs. (covers 
4,000 square feet of established lawn), $2.80; 80 Ibs.
