LAWN GRASS 



The essentials for a fine lawn are: a rich, well drained soil; careful preparation of the ground, making it as fine and smooth and 

 mellow as possible; a wise selection of seeds; sowing at such a time as to give the young plant a chance to becom e well established 

 before being subjected to very dry or cold weather or to the direct rays of the hot summer sun. However much care is bestowed 

 upon the selection of grasses, as some varieties are the most luxuriant in spring, others in summer, others again in autumn, and a 

 combination of the proper sorts is required for a perfect, carpet-hke lawn. 



The seed may be planted early in spring or fall and should be sowti at the rate of 100 to 200 pounds per acre. If sown in the 

 spring, sow as early as possible, making the surface very fine and smooth, then raking it over and sowing the seed just before a rain 

 which, if the surface has just been raked, will cover the seed sufficiently. For fall seeding sow before the autumn rains and early 

 enough to enable the young grass to become well estabhshed before very cold weather.
