Destroying Weeds:- A simple way of destroying coarse weeds (e.g.) dandelion and thistle is to
dip a wooden skewer in weed - killer and pierce in the centre of the weed. Care must be
taken not to let the solution fall on the grass or this will be killed also. Sulphate of ammonia used at not more than one ounce per square yard of lawn will kill clover. Daisies and plantains can be killed by lawn sand, especially during dry weather
