LAWN MAKING 
The soil shouldb e spaded deep and well prepared. It should not be too rich, as a rapid 
growth is not wanted in grasses of a lawn, but the surface should be as much alike as possible. 
Sow the seed in two directions, then roll and cross roll in order to press the seed firmly into 
the soil. In about 10 days apply a light application of Aabling’s Lawn Fertilizer mixed with an 
equal part of good loam. This will serve to stimulate the young grasses. The best time for 
this is just before a rain, so that the fertilizer will be washed into the roots of the grass. 
We are often asked when is the “best” time to plant a lawn. We know that from the middle 
of March until the end of June is the best time or the best lawn can be obtained with the least 
trouble and with less danger of a failure. Although we sell large quantities of grass seed all 
through the summer months but advise people they must be more careful in planting and water- 
ing. The fall is a good time but great care should be taken so that your ground will be clear 
of weeds. Do not plant between November 15 and March 1st. as the ground is cold and seeds 
liable to decay. 
BO^UNG. Boll frequently, especially in the spring, as the winter frosts loosen the soil and 
rolling is necessary to compress it again. 
MOWING. Mow often, as it tends to improve the roots and the fineness of the texture. Be 
careful in the summer time, as the roots require a covering during hot summer months. 
Follow these directions and use our Superior Lawn Mixture and Superior Lawn Fertilizer 
and you will have your lawn talked about.
