Grasses for Lawns 
Grass seed does well planted in the fall. Now the sun is not so hot that it will scorch the 
young shoots, and if not sown just before heavy frosts this is probably the best time of the year. 
Don't plant too deep; keep the soil always moist; follow the directions below, and you will get a good 
lawn. The Golden Gate Park in San Francisco uses each year large quantities of our fine lawn 
grasses. You can have a lawn just as good as any of theirs by giving proper care and sowing 
MORSE'S LAWN GRASS, which is of excellent quality.

DIRECTIONS FOB, MAKING A LAWN: Prepare the soil well: this means spade it over and dig in 
some fertilizer or manure. Let the ground stand a month, or else do not apply fertilizer until grass is 
three months old. Two weeks before planting roll and water the ground well and before sowing the seed 
hoe the soil, but do not spade it. This will kill countless thousands of small weeds which are always in 
the soil and would otherwise have to be pulled up by hand — a laborious job. 
Sow the seed evenlv and roll it in or sprinkle a good cover of sandy loam over it. Where a roller is 
not available rake the seed in lightly and press down by patting with spade. Water twice a day until 
grass comes up. In stiff, clayey soils, if planting in summer, use straw or leaves to protect the germinat- 
ing seeds until the grass is an inch high. Make the lawn any time of year if there is plenty ot water. 
Use one pound of seed to 250 square feet of lawn. Keep free from weeds, water well and cut reguiariy
