LAWN GRASS 9 
RUSSELL-HECKLE’S 
LAWN GRASS SEED 
Spade or plow ground to the depth of 8 inches. Afterwards har¬ 
row or rake carefully, pulverize all lumps and remove all large 
stones. If the soil is shallow, procure a supply of fine mold and 
spread over the surface to a depth of 5 inches. Soil may be en¬ 
riched by bone meal or well-rotted manure wherever necessary, 
then rake level and roll the soil well to make a solid bottom. 
Scatter the seed evenly over the surface at the rate of 60 or 75 
pounds per acre. Rake seed in and roll, water regularly and care¬ 
fully, as the soil is liable to dry out in the heat of the day, and if 
it does while the seed is germinating it will invariably perish. 
When the grass is 3 inches high it should be cut and rolled, and 
repeat until the grass has become firm. Should bare spots appear, 
rake the surface and sow more seed.

shady lawns and woods. Shady Spot Lawn Grass contains a 
large proportion of these two grasses besides other adapted

RENEWING OLD LAWNS 
A lawn can be kept thick and flourishing if at intervals 
the soil is stirred with a sharp rake and more seeds sown. 
This should be done just after the grass has been cut, or 
during a rainy spell. If rolled immediately after sowing, the 
seeds will be better covered. Every spring and fall fresh 
seeds should be sown over the lawn to fill in bare spots and 
thicken the growth.
