Lawn Grass Seed 
HOW TO PREPARE A LAWN 
Proper soil and a good mixture are the two essentials to be considered when making 
a lawn. Seed will be found to be the least expensive item. The first step is to break 
up the ground by ploughing or spading. Incorporate 
manure if available into the soil using one load to an 
average 100 square yards, keeping it well near the 
surface. If manure is not available, a commercial 
fertilizer such as Vigoro is recommended—5 lbs. to 
100 square feet is sufficient at first. Ground in a 
shady place will probably need a light application 
of lime. Clay soils should have a mulch of Ieafmold 
or Driconure, which is a mixture of peat moss and 
dehydrated cow manure. 
Before seeding care should be taken to rake the 
surface well by removing weed roots and stones and 
breaking up lumps of earth. The final step before seeding is to rake the surface until it 
becomes smooth and fine. Seed should be sowed according to the above chart after which 
it should be thoroughly rolled in. 
Our formula contains a balanced proportion of the following grass seeds: 
Red Top, Chewings Fescue, White Clover, German Bent, Kentucky Blue Grass

PEAT MOSS 
Finely granulated. This is comparatively 
a new product in itself. It has not much 
value as a fertilizer, but it is valuable when 
incorporated in the soil, holding moisture, 
and when decayed, as a substitute, for 
stable manure. We recommend it highly.

We have discontinued handling Humus 
and recommend Driconure, a combination 
of peat moss and cow manure—odorless. 
It is a real plant food beside being a soil 
conditioner. This product is an excellent 
substitute for humus and considered 
better.
