IMPORTANT—To  reduce  its  bulk,  the  first 27  issues  of Lawn  Care  have  been 
condensed to single sheet form.  Index references to the first seven volumes have 
been changed accordingly.  Unless you have the condensed  copies  save your  old 
index and use this one only for reference to 1937 bulletins. If you prefer to replace 
your old issues with the condensed ones, a postcard will bring them without cost.

Readers are Enthused

rrI  have enjoyed your previous issues of 
Lawn  Care  so  much  that  I   want  two  of 
my  friends  to  share  in  it,  and  1  am  en­
closing  a  check  in  order  that  you  may 
send  me  two  binders  containing  the  bul­

letins”— O rville  W .  Forte,  Boston, 
Massachusetts.

*

rrY ou r  little  booklet,  Lawn  Care,  is 
one  of  my  treasured  volumes  and  you 
may  be  interested  in  knowing  that  from  
it,  I   have  gained  information  for  the 
eradication  o f  dandelions  with  which  my 

lawn  was  infested.”—G eorge  L.  Beck, 
Angola, New York.
*

rrl   was  delighted  with  Lawn  Care, 

Certainly  no  other  publication,  or  book 

either,  for  that  matter,  has  as  much  use­
fu l  information  on  lawns  packed  into  so 
small a space.  M rs.  Roberts,  who is chair­
man  o f  her  garden  club  group,  is  plan­

ning  to  show  it  at  their  next  meeting.”— 
H ervey  Roberts, St. Louis, Missouri.

New  Lawn  Care 

Binders Available
A  treasured  part  of  any  lawn  lover’s 
library  would  be  this  handsomely  bound 
reference  file  of  Lawn  Care  bulletins.  It 
consists  of: 
(1)  a  sturdily  built,  stiff- 
backed  ring  binder  with  extra  heavy  re­
enforcing of the backbone and capacity for 
bulletins  covering 
the  next  six  years; 
(2) all issues of Lawn  Care that have been 
published to date, totaling about fifty bul­
letins  in  all;  (3)  an  index  like  this  one 
alphabetically arranged for convenient ref­
erence;  (4)  a double page of graph paper 
on which you can diagram your own lawn 
and  keep  an  accurate  record  of the  treat­
ments  it  receives;  (5)  an  attractive  auto­
matic pencil inserted in a loop attached to 
the  inside  cover  of  the  binder,  so  you’ll 
always have writing equipment at hand.
This complete set is mailed  prepaid  for 
one  dollar.  Your  name  in  gold  will  be 
printed on the cover for twenty cents extra.
A full set of Lawn  Care bulletins to date 
with  alphabetical  index  will  be  sent  in 
paper binding for twenty-five cents.
