Celebrated from Florida to Maine for its 
W DIRECTIONS FOR SEEDING A LAWN. 
Grass is Nature’s Carpet, and when a lawn is composed of su table grasses, compactly covering 
W/ the entire surface, 1t becomesa ctf passing pleasure and ornamentation. The eye never tires of the 
WW delicate evergreen so restful tothe sight. Lawns should be sown with blended grasses, which will 
hold their green through the hot, dry. summer, and not. lose color during the ‘‘freezes’’ of winter. 
W/ A first-class lawn will continue indefinitely its beautiful, velvet surface, and can be kept in peren- 
\W/ nial freshness by an annual top dressing of fertilizer or manure. A level surface is preferred for 
lawns to avoid washes at the time of severe freshets, but a gentle incline may be desirable and is 
W/ certainly beautiful. Springtime and autumn are the favorite seasons for making lawns, but any 
\i/ time from early spring to fall will do, unless a severe protacted drought prevails. Spade deeply, 
. make the ground fine, smooth and mellow; then rake the soil and sow the seed. ‘If a rain occurs 
W/ simultaneously with the seed sowing, it will cover the seed enough; but if dry, the soil should be 
\W/ pressed with the back of a spade or rolled with a hight roller. A suitable fertilizer should be incor- 
porated with the soil when the lawn is being prepared, and bone is preferred because its fertilizing 
VW quality is gradually imparted to the soil, and its effect is lasting. A top dresser atany time imparts 
\i/ new thrift to the sod. Be careful to sow the seed regularly and evenly over the entire surface, 
Otherwise bare spaces will disfigure the lawn; but when this happens rake over the bare places and 
sow seed there. Be liberal in the use of seed when making a lawn, for if done rightly, a young, 
healthy, beautiful, velvet green sod will soon delight the eye and reward all labor and expense. 
One pound Bolgiano’s Recleaned Lawn Grass Seed will go as far as four quarts grass seed sold by 
the measure. Add 7 cents per pound on Lawn Grass if to go by mail.
