NO-MOW 
LAWN GROWTH 
INHIBITOR 
Now—A “Chemical Lawn Trimmer”

grass along edges of your walks, drive, between 
flagstones in the terrace, close to fences, build- 
ings, bird baths, cemetery monuments and other 
places difficult to reach with the lawn mower. 
Just one spraying with NO-MOW will retard 
growth the rest of the season, yet grass remains 
beautifully green, root growth is not affected, and 
there is no ‘‘after effect'’ in the soil! This new 
growth regulator (containing maleic hydrazide), 
when sprayed on grass early in the season, 
inhibits growth so that no mowing or trimming is 
needed for 4 to 5 months. Just dissolve this pow- 
der in water, and apply. 1 oz. pkg. (treats 250-
