THE LAWN- 
Qreen Carpet 
of the 
Outdoors 
You can have a beautiful 
laivn with ROSS’ High 
Quality Laivn Grass Seed 
The lawn is the green carpet of the “out¬ 
door living room” and the entire appear¬ 
ance of the planting is either made or 
spoiled by its appearance. It is the basis 
and the most important part of the entire 
planting and should be created carefully, 
and maintained religiously. 
Use Quality Lawn Seed 
There are only a very few kinds of 
grasses suitable for lawns. Seeds of these 
fine kinds are much more expensive than 
the seeds of other less desirable grasses, 
most of which make good hay, but do not 
make good lawns. The cheap seeds will 
often grow and cover the ground with 
green, but eventually the lawn will dete¬ 
riorate and have to be remade, which is a 
very expensive and troublesome thing 
to do. 
The Best Results are obtained by sowing 
the seed quite thickly, one pound or quart 
to 200 or 300 square feet, but sowing one 
pound on 400 to 500 square feet will make 
an excellent lawn although not quite as 
quickly. 
To Renew Old Lawns, rake thoroughly, 
stirring the ground as much as possible 
without killing the grass. All moss and 
weeds should be removed as far as possible. 
Sow half as much grass seed as recommend¬ 
ed for seeding a new lawn. After seeding, 
the lawn should be rolled.
