HOW TO MAKE A GOOD LAWN 
DEPENDABLE LAWN GRASS MIXTURES 
Based on years of experience and recommendations by the Experiment Stations, we offer well 
balanced mixtures of lawn grasses that will give best possible results for the purposes they are 
intended. We use only the very highest quality seeds, proven free from noxious weeds, and 
that will give quickest and most satisfactory results. 
Preparation of the Soil. This work must be 
done thoroughly as the lawn is to be perma¬ 
nent. The soil should be spaded to a depth of 
one foot, removing all stones and roughage. 
Large plots may be plowed and harrowed A 
fine seed bed is essential. 
Fertilizing. After the plot has been spaded, 
apply a three to six inch coating of peat moss 
and a good commercial fertilizer, such as Sacco 
(see page 72), allowing 20 lbs. for every 1,000 
square feet. Respade, mixing thoroughly with 
the soil. Barnyard fertilizer may be used in 
place of commercial fertilizer, but as it carries 
seeds of weeds and coarse grasses that grow 
with the Grass Seed, and are difficult to eradi¬ 
cate, we advise using commercial fertilizer. 
Seeding. Grass Seed may be sown any time, 
but early spring sowing before the hot dry 
weather sets in, is best. Sow the seed on a 
quiet day, and broadcast two ways—using one 
lb. of seed for every 200 to 250 square feet— 
80 to 100 lbs. per acre. If possible, sow short¬ 
ly before a rain. By sowing half the seed one 
way, and the other half the other way, a uni¬ 
form, even stand is assured. Harrow or rake 
the ground carefully to cover the seed and follow 
with a roller to pack the soil. Water thoroughly 
and regularly in the evenings, until the sod is 
fairly well established. Sprinkling at random 
is worse than no water at all.
