In Weed-Killers or Cigarettes

It's a mistake to "roll your own"! The way to use 2.4D on a golf course is to use it in the formula thai kills the weeds, and not to waste a lot of money on some untried, home-made concoction that merely gets your players' feet wet, or ruins some costly turf!

Use Weedone, the original 2.4D weed-killer; it has the background of three years' out-of-door use by the public.

There's more to Weedone than just 2.41). When you sprav with Weedone, the 2.4D slicks to the leaves of the weeds, and won't wash off even if it rains in

the next half-hour. Weedone penetrates right out to the root tips.

Use Weedone in the rough on poison ivy, poison oak, and the tougher weeds. Use it on blue grass and fescue fairways to kill turf weeds without killing the grass.

On creeping bent fairways where a milder weed-killer is desirable, use our Weedar or our Sodium Salt 70% 2.4D.

Neither Weedone nor Weedar cor-rodes metal spray equipment. Either of them will save you half the cost of the hand-weeding method.
