How To Make A Lawn 
The production of a good lawn is made by 
the following method: (1) When the soil is 
moist dig it up about 6" deep; if the ground 
is “muddy” allow a few days of clear weather 
to dry jt up. (2) As you dig lift each clod 
high enough to enable you to turn it com¬ 
pletely over. (3) Now break and pulverize 
the inverted clod with the back of the fork. 
(4) Remove from the plot all stones, sticks 
etc. (5) Scatter Hyper-Humus on the dug 
earth, use 100 lbs. to every 60 square feet. 
(6) Draw our “speedy” cultivator or a rake 
back and forth over the whole plot until the 
soil is in a fine condition. (7) Purchase 
“Velvet” Lawn Seed at the minimum rate of 
1 lb. per 400 square feet, plot 20x20, or double 
the quantity when the lawn is needed quickly 
or a very thick turf desired. Divide the seed 
in two equal parts and sow on a calm day, 
going over the whole area twice, the second 
time at right angles to the first. (8) Rake 
the plot again very lightly. This time draw¬ 
ing the rake toward you in a series of light 
strokes, raking only once in the same place. 
Grass seed should not be covered more than 
one-eighth of an inch. (9) Roll (or pat with 
the back of a spade) the area planted when 
dry.

portion of the finer and more 
expensive grasses in extra heavy

SHADY 
The grasses used in making this special mixture are only those 
that are well adapted for growing in shade, and as it blends well 
with our Velvet Lawn Grass Mixture, it may be used on those portions 
of the lawn which are shaded by trees, building, etc, thus covering 
the whole area with a rich green sward.
