A gardener recommends the following “cure” for the dandelion, which is said to be a serious plague this year, though it would be best to experiment with the "cure” on a little plot before trying it on the whole lawn “Dandelions may be killed in the lawn by spraying with an iron sulphate solution made by dissolving two pounds of iron sulphate to each gallon of water. The solution kills the dandelions but does not harm the grass if properly put on. It should be applied as a fine spray three or four days after mowing when there is no rain in prospect, anti several days before another cutting. On badly infested lawns it may be necessary to repeat the process every four or Six weeks, since it only kills the leaves and does not damage the roots. One gallon of solution is sufficient for about five square rods, tn bulk, iron sulphate costs about one cent a pound.” NOTICE.
