New Lawns for Old 



Early fall is one of the best times to renew an old lawn or start 

 a new one. There is usually plenty of rainfall and this, together with 

 the warm days and cool nights, makes ideal conditions for growing 

 grass. 



The soil for new lawns should be thoroughly spaded, the top made 

 as level and fine as possible and pulverized sheep-manure or bone- 

 meal worked in at the rate of 5 pounds for every 100 square feet. 

 Old lawns should be cut close, surface loosened with a steel rake and 

 top dressed with fertilizer as above. Should the weather be dry, 

 careful watering with the finest spray will be necessary; caution, 

 however, should be used so as to not wash away the newly sown seed. 



We advise that lawns go into the winter close cropped in prefer- 

 ence to having them long, as with the former method they start out 

 better in the spring.
