How to Grow a Fine Lawn 
Plow or dig up the surface thoroughly to a depth of 12 inches and mix the soil with well 
rotted manure or our Archias’ Sure Lawn Fertilizer, the latter being at all times preferable, 
as it is more durable in its effect and free from weed seeds, which are always contained in 
more or less quantities in stable manure. 
The soil should be well pulverized before sowing, and the lawn kept free from weeds the first season. The quantity of seed 
required is one pound to every 300 square feet. 75 to 100 lbs. to acre.
