Suggestions for Making and Care of Lawns 
Nothing will add more to the surroundings of the home 
than a beautiful lawn. 
Don’t forget when making a lawn that it is to last for 
years, and be an ornament to your home, so take plenty 
of care and time in preparation of the soil before the 
seed is sown. 
Lawns must be well drained... Prepare the soil by 
plowing or spading eight to ten inches deep. Level and 
work the surface to remove all clods. Spread about four 
inches'! of good, black, sandy loam on top and work till 
finely pulverized. Broadcast twenty-five pounds lawn and 
garden fertilizer per 1000 square feet, applying one-half 
in one direction and crossing with the other half, so as 
to obtain even distribution. Rake well into the top soil 
and wet down thoroughly. Do not sow the seed until a 
week after applying the fertilizer, as the germination of 
the seed may be retarded if it comes in direct contact 
with the fertilizer. 
Improving Old Lawns—The way to improve old lawns is 
to feed them. More seed will not help unlessi there is suf¬ 
ficient plant food present. Available balanced plant food 
will promote root growth and thicken the grass. Use 
25 pounds garden and lawn fertilizer to every 1000 square 
feet (10 feet by 100 feet). Wet down thoroughly, immedi¬ 
ately after applying fertilizer. 
Mowing—Cut your lawn regularly and often enough so 
that the clipping need not be removed for the sake of 
appearance. Leaving the clippings on the ground con¬ 
serves plant food and forms a mulch over the roots which 
retains moisture. 
Watering—(Never just “sprinkle” a lawn). It is much 
better to stoak a lawn well once a week than to sprinkle 
lightly each day. 
The Best Grasses for the South 
BERMUDA ENGLISH RYE 
This is the finest grass for lanws and the only grass that 
will withstand the hot sun during the hot summer months. 
Grows on almost any soil. Sow 1 pound to 500 square feet 
(10x50). Sow in spring or summer, water every day 
until seed corneal up. When sowing Rye Grass on the Ber¬ 
muda lawn, the grass should be cut very close before sowing. 
This should be done early in the fall, so to have a nice 
green lawn all winter.

This is the best winter lawn gras's for the South. Sow

or thicker if desired. Rye grass dies down in the early 
summer when it gets hot and the Bermuda takes its 
place. Sow Rye grass on your Bermuda lawn in the fall 
or as soon as it gets cool, as it does not germinate during 
warm weather and have a beautiful green lawn all the 
year.
