HINTS ON LAWN CARE 



FiniNG THE SOIL— Use fertilizer 

 to moke gross grow vigorously and 

 thus crowd out ond storve weeds. 

 Never use lime unless octuol test 

 shows the lown soil to be too ocid 

 for gross. If there is ony doubt os 

 to the food needs of the soil, con- 

 sult us cbout it. 



SOWING THE SEED— If the soil 

 has been rolled or is packed herd 

 by rains, go over it agoln with the 

 steel roke before sowing. The cosiest 

 woy to sow seed on smoll lawns U - 

 to broodcost it, preferobly in the 

 morning of o still doy. Sow plenty 

 of seed, at leost I pound to eoch 

 200 squore feet. After sowing, roke 

 in gently, then roll the ground light- 

 ly to pock it down. 



LAWNS LIKE PLENTY OF HUMUS. 



So do not remove short gross clip- 

 pings but let them lie to decom- 

 posure. Rotted gross clippings ore 

 Noture's best humus. Discord your 

 gross cotcher. Run the lawn mower 

 eost and west the first week and 

 sweep with o Brume-Roke north and 

 south. Next week, cut north and 

 south ond sweep eost ond west. 

 This sweeping will remove the long 

 clippings which might scold the 

 lown if left where they foil but, even 

 more important, will work the fine 

 clippings down to the roots where 

 they will form o moisture-conserving 

 mulch ond loter, when rotted, the 

 finest possible humus. 



PEAT MOSS VALUABLE— A mulch 

 of sifted or weothered peot moss is 

 olso helpful if opplied in the spring. 

 but even more effective in the foil. 

 It supplies humus, o mulch, ond is 

 olso slightly ocid. When you mow j 

 the gross, mow high ond mow oftpn 

 This is much better thon mov. 

 close ond less frequently. 



KEEP THE GRASS LINE NEAT AND 



STRAIGHT— Nothing is more im- 

 portont to the well-kept oppeoronce j 

 of the lown thon o neot, stroight 

 gross line. A good turf edger will 

 spore you consideroblo time and i 

 effort in trimming edges. 



FIGHT WEEDS— There just isnt ony 

 place in o well-kept, heolthy lown 

 for weeds. However, they do ap- 

 pear, ond the good gordener 1s 

 constantly watching for them. Al- 

 woys rid your lown of weeds before 

 they go to seed. If you got on the 

 job right ofter o heovy rain, mony 

 weeds con be pulled out by the 

 honds with the roots intoct. At other 

 times, o good modern weeder should 

 K" ised diligently. 



GEHING RID OF DANDELIONS—

 on the spot with your foot to close 

 up the hole. Then sprinkle a little
