taining 50 sq. ft. Pre-planted with a high-grade grass

How To Care For Your Lawn 
Good lawns are not accidents but the results of careful 
planning, planting and care. 
SOIL. The soil for a fine lawn requires a very thorough 
preparation, as the physical composition cannot be mate- 
rially changed once the lawn is established. The ideal lawn 
soil is well drained, well fertilized and heavy enough to 
hola moisture without becoming soggy. 
FERTILIZING, Thoroughly rotted barnyard manure is 
the best fertilizer to mix with the soil before making a lawn, 
but it is generally hard to get. Fresh manure is invariably 
full of weed seeds and should not be used. Pulverized sheep 
manure is an ideal lawn fert lizer particularly when applied 
with Michigan Peat. Apply at the rate of 100 pounds per 
1000 square feet. 
PREPARATION. Spade or plow as deeply as soil condi- 
tions permit; then rake roughly to fill in hollow spaces, 
removing all rubbish, coarse lumps and stones. At this stage, 
particularly if much grading or filling has been necessary, al- 
low the ground to settle for a week or ten days before the 
final fine raking. This will also give weed seeds, that have 
been brought to the surface, a chance to sprout so that they 
will be killed by the final raking. 
SEEDING. To insure a thick, even stand sow plenty of 
seed, 1 pound for each 200 square feet or an excessive quan- 
tity will do no harm. The best way to be sure of sowing 
seed evenly is to divide it in half and go over the plot twice, 
making the second sowing at right angles to the first. 
COVERING THE SEED. The seeds in our lawn mixtures 
are very fine and should be covered lightly, in fact rolling 
with a medium weight roller to press the seed into the soil 
is the best method. 
WATERING. It is often necessary in dry weather to 
water the lawn. This should be done in the late afternoon 
or evening to prevent scalding and a thorough soaking twice 
a week is better than nightly light sprinkling. 
MOWING. Frequent mowings will help to produce a 
fine thick turf. Do not set the blades too close to the 
ground in hot weather. 
ROLLING. All lawns should be rolled in the spring to_ 
bring the roots in firm contact with the soil. 
FEEDING. All lawns, new or old, require a top dressing 
or feeding in spring and fall. Vigoro is excellent for lawns 
or if you prefer organic fertilizer mix sheep or cow manure 
with Michigan Peat and apply 10 pounds per 100 square feet. 
RESEEDING. Reseed lightly in the spring and fall, even 
on well established turfs. Large bare spots should be dug up, 
well fertilized and reseeded, while small bare spots need 
only be scratched deeply with a steel rake so as to make a 
fine seedbed.
