Fine Lawns make Perfect Settings 



The essentials of a beautiful lawn are : rich well drained soil ; careful preparation of the ground, to makei t fine and smooth and 

 mellow; wise selection of seeds; so'nang at a time when the j'oung plants will have a chance to become well established before they 

 are exposed to dry or cold weather or hot summer sunshine. Special care should be given to selection of grasses because some 

 varieties are most luxuriant in spring, some in summer, others in autumn, and a combination of the proper sorts is necessary to in- 

 sure a velvety carpet-hke lawn. 



Seed should be sown early in spring or in fall, at the rate of 1 pound to every 150 to 400 square feet, depending on variety. 

 Make the surface fine and smooth by raking. In spring, sow the seed as early as possible, preferably just before a shower, 

 as this will push the seed far enough into the ground to cover it sufficiently. In fall, sow before the autumn rains, early enough 

 so that the young grass can become established before cold weather.
