Successful Lawns
Usually Result of
Good Feeding

Sure, you had fine lawn several
years ago. But what sort of an ap-
pearance did it present when it went
into dormancy last fall? Weeds, bare
spots, patchy as a patchwork quilt?
And you wonder what's the matter?
Let's take a look at the picture
presented last fall by your neighbor'S
lawn across the Way-smooth, vel
vety, weedlesS-a stretch of green
that delighted the eye. Nov he
started his lawn the same year I
did" you say. He had the same
landscape gardener make the lawn
the same grade Of seed, some treat
ment until the lawn became well
established, insofar as moving and
watering were concerned"
And after the lawn became we'll
established? Oh, yes. you rolled,
you vatered, you reseeded, you
moved the lawn properly.
But-did you feed the lawn? Your
neighbor did. He used complete
balanced plant food, and he has
made both spring and fall feeding
annually. Of course your lawn is a
failure and your neighbor's a Sue
cess: he knows that grass must have
ample nourishment readily available
at all times.
Yes, if you want good lawn you
will have to replace constantly the
fertility that the growing grass re-
moves from the soil. And the easi-
est. most economical method to re-
place this fertility is to apply COM
plete balanced plant food to the
lawn area.
