Isn't this the sensible way to figh t BROWN PATCH? Year by year, one greenkeeper after another is making this decision: It's easier to prevent brown patch than to repair turf damage caused by the disease. And it costs a lot less! At hundreds of the nation's finest courses, greens now are treated at weekly intervals throughout the season to prevent brown patch. With the two most dependable fungicides, Semesan and Nu-Green both now available at new low prices preventive treatments for the entire season cost but a fraction of the initial investment in your greens. Contrast this small cost of brown patch prevention with the usual high cost of course maintenance or even with the expense of returfing greens destroyed by brown patch and you'll see how sensible this plan of protection is! Used regularly, either Semesan or Nu-Green will effectively protect turf against both large and small brown patch. When the disease has already appeared, either fungicide will kill it promptly, without even the slightest injury to turf. growth. For that reason, it is advised where soil fertility is lower. Both Semesan and Nu-Green (the only brown patch disinfectant licensed under U.S. Patent No. 1,787,581) may be obtained from your regular seedsman or golf supply house.

FASTER * BETTER CHEAPER Note the arrangement of the two front mowers, which cut the gra*» before it matted down by the drive wheels. Last year's mowing machines are as dead as last year's dandelions as far as present conditions are concerned. The Toro Master Seven is more flexible, faster and saves 50% in operator's time, with constant savings in operating and upkeep costs. Cuts a 16-foot swath, mowing a standard 18-hole golf course in approximately 8 hours. It will pull seven mowers in high gear over 20% grades and five mowers over 25% grades. It does better work because the two front mowers cut the grass before it is matted down by the drive wheels, thus eliminating all streaks after cutting. The two outside mowers are opposite the driver so he can easily watch his cutting swath. A wheel base of only 103 inches from the front of the tractor to the rear mower provides a closely coupled mowing outfit with a maximum degree of flexibility. Sturdy electricallywelded frame... no twisting or buckling. For transporting, the mowers are swung around behind, and the total width is less than that of a three-unit outfit. The Toro Master Seven can be used for many jobs besides mowing. The mowers and frame can be disconnected in five minute's time and the tractor used for general utility purposes. If you are faced with demands for lower maintenance costs, it will pay you to see or write your nearest Toro distributor: New Master five-unit outfit. Two extra mowers can be added instantly, converting it into a seven. TORO MANUFACTURING CO. 3042-3I68 Snelling Avenue MINNEAPOLIS, MINN.

Five-Gang Mower with Lift Hitch. Two Reasons for Buying Roseman Mowers: 1. ECONOMY If you need new mowers write for a list of Roseman users before buying. You will find leading Golf Clubs all over the world use them. These users all agree that no fairway mower can do as good work year after year for as little money as the Roseman. These users can tell you that Roseman Mowers cost more in the beginning because unbreakable materials and precise working parts are more expensive. But smart buyers of today know mowers are bought to last more than one season. Over a period of five, ten or more years, Roseman Mowers cost less, because they remain in perfect working order. Let us prove this! The full width roller drive gives unusual power, and the mowers being well constructed can operate at top speed with effectiveness. This saves time and labor costs, and is especially helpful in midseason when the grass is growing fast. 2. TURF DEVELOPMENT Being the only ROLLER MOWER* for fairways, the Roseman is the only one that builds turf. The light rollers gently massage top turf, press it down on the nourishing subsoil, and seal heat cracks producing a healthier growth. Greenkeepers can show you spots on their courses where this steady Roseman treatment has brought poor turf to healthy growth. Yet the rolling was purely incidental to the regular mowing. Without Roseman Mowing, these greenkeepers could correct such turf conditions only by separate rolling a considerable expense. Roller drive mowing also tends to eliminate cuppy lies. It prevents scalping, because the bed knife is always lifted over high spots by the roller. The Roseman roller drive does not slip or skid because the full 26 inches of traction gives three times the power that 8 inches of side-wheel width can give. Roseman Construction Features: Timken Tapered Roller Bearings on Cutter. Hyatt British Tank Roller Bearing on Rear Axle. Alemite Forced Feed Lubricators. Guaranteed Non-Brcakahle Malleable Iron Slide Frames, Gear Cover, Bed Knife Shoes and Caster Wheel Forks. Drop Forged Machine Cut Gears. LIGHT ROLLER DRIVE, for better Traction and turf development. Eliminates separate Rolling, and Brings Denser Turf Growth, Healthier Root Development, Prevents Scalping, Eliminates Cuppy Lies, Seals Heat Crevises, Retains Moisture in Soil. * (Our patents give us the exclusive right to all ganging of Roller Type Mowers) ROSEMAN TRACTOR MOWER CO., Evanston, 111.
