How to Make a Lawn 
The successful keeping as well as making of 
a beautiful lawn lies most largely in the thor¬ 
ough preparation before a seed is sown. If 
there is grading to be done, the top soil to the 
depth of 6 to 8 inches should first be removed, 
to finish with after the grade is complete. 
This should be thoroughly harrowed and 
raked to reduce to as fine a condition as pos¬ 
sible, as well as to level it, as nothing detracts 
so much from the appearance of a lawn as an 
uneven surface.' Sow the seed as early in the 
Spring as convenient, the earlier the better if 
the soil is in good condition, scattering it in 
both directions at right angles to each other, 
which will give a more even distribution. After 
the seed has been sown it should be raked 
lightly, then thoroughly rolled. 
No one kind of grass will make a lawn that 
will keep green all through the season, but a 
mixture of several is essential. Our Velvet 
Sod Mixture is such a scientifically arranged 
combination, giving quick, sure and satisfying 
results unsurpassed by any general lawn mix¬ 
ture on the market.
