The STORRS & HARRISON CO 
s&H LAWN GRASS SEED 
How to Make a Lawn 
The successful keeping as well as making of a beautiful 
lawn lies most largely in the thorough 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 possible, 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, scatter¬ 
ing 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 com¬ 
bination, giving Quick, sure and satisfying results unsurpassed 
by any general lawn mixture on the market.
