Waut a Louely Lawn? 
Grass seed simply scattered on the ground is almost always wasted. To start 
a new lawn prepare the soil just like a garden, allow it to settle for a week or 
two, then rake it thoroughly to create a very fine seed bed. The use of a lawn 
roller is desirable in order to smooth and firm the soil. An application of lime 
may be made if the soil is acid; fertilizer may be needed, but do not apply at 
the same time as lime. Wait for a week before you sow seed. 
When you sow the seed, scatter it evenly over the entire area, using about 
1 lb. to each 200 sq. ft. Rake the area lightly after the seeds are sown in order 
to cover them. Then roll the lawn with a very light roller to make the soil 
compact around .the seeds. Seed should not be planted while the soil is very 
wet, but only when it is moist. It may be necessary to water the lawn thoroughly 
with a very fine spray several times after planting. Do not cut grass until it is 
3 or 4 in. tall. Do not remove lawn clippings. Early spring or fall are the best 
times to plant grass, but with frequent and thorough watering a lawn may be 
started during the summer as well.

The most convenient, efficient, economical way to irrigate 
A revolutionary new way of watering lawns, shrubs, trees and 
gardens. It has many advantages over hose or sprinklers, and most 
important is the fact that it does a much better job of putting the 
right amount of water where it is needed, and no place else. 
This apparatus is a canvas tube 2 in. in diameter with a regular 
hose attachment at one end and the other end closed. When 
water is turned into the tube it fills and seeps freely from every 
pore in the cloth. The water does not run off, even on steep slopes, 
but soaks right down into the ground exactly where you want it. 
It releases 20% more water than sprinklers with about 25% sav- 
ing in water due to less evaporation, runoff, etc. Never wets 
foliage. 
The worst thing about watering a lawn or garden has been the 
danger of insufficient depth of soaking to help the plants. With 
the Soil Soaker you can’t miss doing the job right. One of the 
best garden accessories we know of. 
52x20 Soil Soaker, 12 ft. length, each $1.55 
52x22 Soil Soaker, 30 ft. length, each $3.20
