B. Ultimate Crabgrass
Preventer & Lawn Fertilizer 20-4-1 plus 15% Sulfur/12% Iron w/Barricade

weeds
Apply (1) bag of "Ultimate Crabgrass Preventer & Lawn
Fertilizer" with slow release nitrogen on 5,000 sq. ft. before weeds germinate
(both Dimension and Barricade, lasting from 4 to 6 months, are the longest lasting
turf pre-emergents.) Spring germination can vary six (6) weeks or more from
Texas to North Dakota (late February to mid May) so please contact your
local university extension service for this timely information. Nature's best
guide to prevent spring germinating crabgrass is to apply when the
"red bud" tree starts to bloom. "Ultimate Crabgrass Preventer
& Lawn Fertilizer" may be applied anytime during the growing season to prevent
crabgrass and weeds that germinate in late season and fall. In any case, it
must be applied before crabgrass and weeds germinate. Follow instructions on
the bag!
