. The complete home landscape. Landscape gardening; Gardens. CONSTRUCTION DETAILS—THE LAWN acidity of) the soil. In the place of such fertilizer use the following mixture at the rate of about 800 pounds to one acre, which is ap- proximately twenty pounds to one thousand square feet: Acid phosphate 8 parts by weight Sulphate of ammonia 5 parts by weight Muriate of potash 5 parts by weight Thoroughly mix these in the proportions named and scatter broadcast in very early Spring, prefer- ably in dry weather. Spread evenly and then soak thor- oughly. In treating estab- lished lawns, the grass seed recom- mended should be sown and raked in a few days after ap- plying the fertilizer, using a larger quan- tity of seed than otherwise suggested. In order to main- tain the acid condi- tion of the soil, the same fertilizer must be applied each Spring, in decreasing amounts until the weeds disappear en- tirely.
