K. & W. Lawn Grass Seeds 
The essentials for a fine lawn are: First, 
a rich, well-drained soil; second, careful 
preparation of the ground, making it as 
fine and smooth and mellow as possible; 
third, a wise selection of seeds; fourth, 
sowing at such a time as to give the young 
plants a chance to become well established 
before being subjected to very dry or cold 
weather or to the direct rays of the hot 
Bummer sun. However much care is be¬ 
stowed on the soil and seed, no lawn will 
be beautiful without frequent mowing and 
rolling. Too much care cannot be bestowed 
upon the selection of grasses, as some 
varieties are the most luxuriant in spring, 
others in summer, others again in autumn, 
and a combination of the proper sort is 
required for a perfect, carpet-like lawn. 
It may be planted early in spring or fall 
and should be sown at the rate of seventy- 
five pounds per acre. If sown in the spring, 
sow as early as possible, making the sur¬ 
face very fine and smooth, then raking it 
over and sowing the seed just before a 
rain, which if the surface has just been 
raked will cover the seed sufficiently. For 
fall seeding, sow before the autumn rains 
and early enough to enable the young grass 
to become well established before very cold 
weather, when a light dressing of manure 
should be given. Weight per bushel, about 
25 pounds. 
Many low-priced grass seed mixtures 
weigh only fourteen pounds per bushel. 
This Indicates either a good proportion of 
chaff or some of the real good varieties in 
the rough state, not properly cleansed so 
as to leave only the vital part and less of 
the chaff or shell—in other words, so many 
less seeds to the quart or pound that will 
germinate and grow real grass.
