. The seeding and care of golf courses. Golf courses; Grasses. O. M. Scott & Sons Co., Marysville, Ohio fall. It is killed by the first frost, turns brown and leaves un- sightly patches. Because it is particularly noticeable in hot, dry seasons when much water must be artificially supplied, some call it "Water-grass," thinking that it is caused by sprinkling. In seasons like the summer of 1921, Crab-grass is particularly noticeable and seems to be able to overcome the more desirable grasses. Nearly everything has been tried in an effort to find some treatment that will eradicate this pest, but, thus far, noth- ing but hand-pulling has been successful. This should be done when the plants are small. On fairways, although ob- jectionable. Crab-grass is not as serious as on the greens, for it is usually replaced by the perennial grasses in the fall. However, it is likely to appeal- in larger quantities the fol- lowing year. PIGEON-GRASS T^ IGEON-GRASS is not unlike Crab-grass. It is a most un- -t desirable summer weed and should be treated the same as Crab-grass. DANDELION .ââ cr" HIS is the commonest and is difficult to kill. Cutting, JL even below the surface, increases rather than decreases the number, as this often causes the crown to split and sev- eral new plants to spring from the old root. If a tablespoon- ful of salt or gasoline is applied where, the root is cut off, it will die. The use of a dandelion-killer saves much back- breaking work. This is a tube with a plunger, to be filled with gasoline. Apply the point to the heart of the weed. One application of a tablespoonful of gasoline kills most perennials. Kerosene may be used but with more care, as surrounding grass might be Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original O.
