until a week after the fertilizer has been applied as 

 the germination of the seed may be retarded if it 

 comes in direct contact with the fertilizer. The 

 ground should then be well watered. 



SPRING • APPLICATION 



Just as soon as the frost is out of the ground 

 the next spring, broadcast another application of 

 20 to 30 pounds per 1,000 square feet of 

 ARMOUR'S LAWN AND GARDEN GROWER. 

 If there are any thin spots, seed them down and 

 rake the seed into the soil, but wait a few days 

 after applying the fertilizer before seeding. If you 

 are starting your lawn in the spring, apply 40 

 pounds of the fertilizer per 1,000 square feet a 

 few days before seeding. Top-dress the lawn occa- 

 sionally during the summer with the compost mix- 

 ture as recommended under Old Lawns. 



IMPROVING • OLD • LAWNS 



The way to improve established lawns is to feed 

 them. More seed will not help unless there is abun- 

 dant plant food present. Available balanced plant 

 food will promote root growth and thicken the 

 grass. Established lawns can be best fertilized a 

 day or two after the frost comes out of the ground
