Directions for Seeding a Lawn 



Grass is Nature's Carpet, and when a lawn is composed of suitable grasses, compactly covering the entire surface, it 

 becomes a surpassing pleasure and ornamentation. The e\ e never tires of the delicate evergreen so restful to the sight. 

 Lawns should be sown with blended grasses, which will hold their green through the hot, dry summer, and not lose color 

 during the "freezes" of winter. A first-class lawn \\-ill continue indefinitely its beautiful, velvet surface, and can be kept 

 in perennial freshness by an annual top-dressing of pure raw lx)ne. A level surface is preferred for lawns to avoid washes 

 ^t the time of severe freshets, but a gentle incline may be desirable and is certainly beautiful. Springtime and autumn are 

 the favorite seasons for making lawns, but any time from early spring to fall will do, unless a severe, protracte<l drought 

 prevails. Spade deeply, make the ground fine, smfx>th, and mellow , tlien rake the soil and sow the seed. If a rain 

 r>ccurs, simultaneouslv \snth the see^l sowing, it will cover the seed enough; but if dry, the soil should be pressed with 

 the back of a spade or rolle<l with a light roller. A suitable fertilizer should be incorporated with the soil when tiie lawn 

 is being prepare<l. and bone is preferred because its fertilizing quality is gradually imparted to the soil, and its effect is 

 IdSting. A top-dresser at anv time imparts new thrift to the sod. Be careful to sow the seed regularly and evenly over 

 the entire surface, otherwise bare spaces wll disfigure the lawn; but when this happens rake over the bare places and sow 

 seed there. Be lil.>eral in the use of seefl when making a lawn, for if done rightly, a young, healthy, beautiful, velvet 

 green sod will soon delight the eye and reward all labor and expense. 



One pound of Bolgiano & Co.'s Recleaned Lawn Grass Seed will go as far as four quarts of grass seed sold l>y the 

 measure. Add 7 cents per pound on Lawn grass seed if to go by mail.
