For ten consecutive years the application was made, before any particularly unfavorable effect on these grasses was noticeable. If, on soil naturally acid, it requires ten years for sulphate of ammonia to make any noticeable impres- sion, it would seem impracticable to use it on neutral soil or soil supplied with lime, with the hope of driving out weeds and clover. BONE-MEAL jrjTT'HiLE bone-meal is an organic material, it is not a rf^ humus-former, and is best considered as a chemical fertilizer. It is cheap and popular, is in no way injurious to the turf or soil and can be applied at any season. Its use on the green should be avoided if White Clover is present, as its lime content stimulates that undesirable plant. The ni- trogen and phosphorus elements of the bone are more avail- able if it is steamed. For top-dressing, bone-meal should be finely ground. Best results are produced by winter applica- tion, as the early spring growth is thus stimulated. On the green use about two pounds to one hundred square [37 J.
