Ferry-Morse lawn grass seed for many uses 



Seed should be sown early in spring or in fall, at the rate of 1 pound to every 150 to 400 square feet, depend- 

 ing on variety. Make the surface fine and smooth by raking. In spring, sow the seed as early as possible, prefer- 

 ably 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.

 from underground rootstalks. Helpful for binding light or sandy 

 soils when given special watering and rolling.

 like, smooth, uniform turf. Much used for golf courses.
