In seeding down a lawn or grass plot, three things are necessary to 

 insure success : First, to prepare the ground so as to have a fine, smooth 

 seed bed; second, to put on plenty of seed — never less, but rather more 

 than the directions call for; third, to start the lawn mower as soon as the 

 weeds (which are always in the ground and sure to start first) are tall 

 enough to catch the machine, and keep them mowed off close till the grass 

 has time to start and become well established. The seed should be 

 lightlv raked in and finished with a roller. Fertilize when needed.
