PLANTING INFORMATION 



Correct Centi-Seed planting is a three phase 

 operation : 



Good seedbed preparation. 



Uniform distribution of the seed. 



Working the seed into the soil. 



A poor job of any phase will result in poor 

 performance! 



Plant 4 to 8 ounces Centi-Seed per 1,000 

 square feet on new seedbeds. Use the higher rate 

 where faster coverage is desired and on old lawns. 



Distribute with a Cyclone seeder or Brillion 

 culti-packer seeder. Carefully control the flow 

 rate (hole opening) on Cyclone seeders, regulat- 

 ing so that the area can be sown twice to insure 

 uniform distribution (cross from east to west and 

 then north to south) . Mix with adequate dry sand 

 for uniform hand scattering if no mechanical 

 distributor is available. 



After seeding, rake vigorously to get seed 

 mixed in top half inch of soil. Rake old lawns 

 before seeding to facilitate getting seed in con- 

 tact with the soil. 



Centi-Seed must not be left on the surface, 

 nor planted more than one-half inch deep. "Roll- 

 ing in" is not adequate. 



Newer model Brillion culti-packer seeders 

 do an excellent job of distributing the seed and 

 placing them in the soil at the proper depth. 



Soil temperatures must be around 70 degrees 

 or better for effective germination. Centi-Seed 

 germinate in 10 to 12 days under constant mois- 

 ture at proper soil temperatures, but the seed- 

 lings are so small that many people are unable to 

 identify them for several weeks and some people 

 never identify the seedlings until a few weeks 

 before a Centipede lawn is perfected. 



Excellent lawns are often produced in four 

 or five months, but your customer should be cau- 

 tioned against expecting too much too soon. 

 Watering should be continued even when seed- 

 lings cannot be identified.
