Fine Lawns make Perfect Settings 



The essentials of a beautiful lawn are: rich well drained soil; careful preparation of the ground, to 

 make it fine and smooth and mellow; wise selection of seeds; sowing at a time when the young 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. A combination of the proper sorts is neces- 

 sary to insure a velvety carpet-like 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.
