The Lawn 



Making and 

 Maintaining a Lawn 



Early spring and late summer are 

 most favorable for making or reno- 

 vating a lawn. Dig the soil to a depth 

 of 6 inches, and pulverize thoroughly. 

 Apply G. & T. Co.'s Grass Fertilizer 

 at the rate of 100 pounds per :2,000 

 square feet, and rake in well. Sow 

 one of our Special Lawn Formulas at 

 the rate of 1 pound for every '200 

 square feet, and then rake very 

 lightly, after which roll. Under favor- 

 able conditions the grass should ger- 

 minate in about 10 days. Do not 

 sprinkle a new \a.wn with water for 

 the first three weeks, unless the seed- 

 ing is followed by very hot, dry 

 weather, but after this time it should 

 be watered as required. An applica- 

 tion of our Grass Fertilizer each year, 

 using half the quantity suggested 

 above, will keep your grass in a 

 healthv condition.
