The New Lawn 



The soil should be plowed or spaded to a depth of about 10 inches, it is absolutely necessary that building waste, such 

 as ashes, slate, stone, small pieces of lumber, etc., should be gathered up and removed. 



Having plowed and spaded the soil evenly, apply a mixture of Bolgiano's Lawn Bone Fertilizer at the rate of about 

 10 pounds to 300 square feet and Sheep's Head Brand Sheep Manure at the rate of 12 pounds to 300 square feet, the 

 fertilizer and sheep manure should be evenly and thoroughly mixed with the surface soil to a depth of 3 inches and raked 

 evenly until the surface is perfectly level and smooth. 



For seeding use Bolgiano's Velvet Green Lawn Grass Seed for open spaces, Bolgiano's Shady Nook Lawn Grass Seed 

 for shady spots and under trees, and Bolgiano's Permanent Terrace and Slope Mixture for sharp inclines and terraces. Apply 

 at the rate of one pound to 200 square feet of surface. To make a perfect job of seeding, select a mild day as wind will 

 prevent even distribution of the seed. Seed across the prepared area, back and forth. North and South, and having covered 

 the area in this manner, cover the entire area once again, seeding East and West. To cover the seed, it is best to rake very 

 lightly one way only, just as a team of horses would draw a harrow and not over % inch deep. After raking, use a roller 

 both ways exactly as done in seeding. 



Remember whenever the soil sticks to the tools, it is too wet to work and- will result in much harm as it will dry 

 very hard into a_baked condition and all work will be wasted. 



Rebuilding the Old Lawn 



The fact that your lawn is dying and disappearing in spots is conclusive that certain soil conditions prevail that are 

 directly responsible. The soil is lacking fertility and is probably sour. Apply Sheep's Head Brand Sheep Manure at the rate 

 of 12 pounds to 300 square feet, also Bolgiano's Lawn Bone Fertilizer at the rate of 10 pounds to 300 square feet to increase 

 fertility. Apply Bolgiano's Lawn Lime at the rate of 30 pounds to 300 square feet to neutralize sourness. On bare spots, 

 rake this mixture into the soil thoroughly to a depth of about two inches and smooth; seed the lawn with Bolgiano's Lawn 

 Grass Seed exactly as described in the making of a new lawn, being careful to seed more heavily in bare spots.
