To Renovate a Jaded Lawn 
Mow closely and remove weeds. 
Scratch the surface with a rake. 
Broadcast Sawconure. 50 pounds per 
1,000 square feet, and Emerald 
Lawn Fertilizer, 20 pounds per 
1,000 square feet. At this time, 
spreading sufficient top-soil to 
make an even surface without hid¬ 
ing the grass, will be beneficial. 
, Rub with the back of the rake. 
, Sow Staigreen, 2^ pounds per 1,000 
square feet. 
Again rub with the back of the rake. 
Grass must be dry; early spring and 
late summer most favorable seasons.

With“Staigreen” Grass Seeds 
How to Make 
a Lawn 
T HE production of a good lawn is not at all difficult. The method is as follows: (1) Dig the soil 
about 6 inches deep, but only when it is dry; if rain has fallen recently allow a few days of fine 
weather to elapse before commencing work. (2) As you dig, lift each clod high enough to enable 
you to turn it completely over. (3) Strike the inverted clod with the back of the fork to break 
it. (4) As the work proceeds, remove all stones, sticks, and rubbish. (5) Scatter Stumpp & Walter 
Co.’s Emerald Grass Fertilizer on the dug earth; use x ton per acre or 50 pounds to each 1,000 square 
feet. (6) Draw a rake back and forth until the soil is smooth and in fine condition. (7) Sow Staigreen 
Lawn Seed at the minimum rate of 100 pounds per acre (4 bushels) or 1 pound (nearly 2 quarts) to 
each 400 square feet. Double the quantity when turf is needed quickly. Select a day when no wind is 
blowing; divide the seed into two portions and sow the land twice to insure its even covering; it is im¬ 
portant to stir the contents of the bag now and again. When you have sown the seed, rake the land 
once more, but very lightly. Do not work the rake back and forth—merely draw it toward you in a 
series of light strokes, raking only once in the same place. The idea is to bury most of the grass seeds 
no more than Hsinch deep. (8) Roll the seeded area, but should rain fall before the work is 
completed, defer the rolling until the land has dried. 
How long will the Lawn be 
growing? This varies with the 
time of year, quality of soil, 
rainfall, etc. Under very 
favorable conditions the 
young seedlings show 
through in less than ten 
days and the whole 
area looks green in a 
further two weeks; wait 
four weeks more be¬ 
fore walking on the 
grass except to mow 
and roll it. 
When is the best 
time? Early spring and 
late summer are most 
favorable.whileseedwill 
grow eventually if sown 
in winter. Watch for and 
remove crab grass from 
late spring sowings. Do 
not sow during hot weather. 
Will the above directions 
hold on poor or sandy 
land? Before commencing 
work on poor soil, spread rotted 
horse-manure or cow-manure over 
the land at the rate of 20 tons to 
the acre or 1 pound per square foot. Then 
proceed exactly as directed. If manure can¬ 
not be procured, use Sawconure at the rate 
of 1 to 2 tons to the acre or 50 to 100 pounds 
to each 1,000 square feet. Do not attempt to 
grow a lawn on excavated soil, subsoil, or 
“fill” without first applying manure or Saw¬ 
conure, digging, then adding at least an inch 
of top-soil. Apply Emerald Grass Fertilizer, 
and proceed as suggested. 
How about moist, sour soil? Spread Pul¬ 
verized Limestone on the dug-over land at 
the rate of 2 tons per acre or 1 pound to each 
xo square feet; then follow directions. In bad 
cases it will be necessary first to drain the land 
by digging ditches and laying tile. 
Should I sprinkle the new Lawn with water? 
Yes, if seeding is followed by hot, dry weather. 
Otherwise it is best not to water for the first 
three weeks. Later, when the grass has started, 
it may be watered as required: use an approved 
sprinkler and soak every three days. 
What after-care is needed? As soon as the 
young grass is 2 inches high, begin cutting it 
and keep it regularly mown; roll it occa¬ 
sionally, and water during dry weather. 
How about Weeds? Stumpp & Walter Co.’s 
seeds are as free from weeds as care and 
modern machinery can make them. All soils, 
however, contain seeds of weeds—some more 
than others—and many of these start to grow 
along with the grass. Close cutting will kill 
most of them, but the few that remain must 
be taken out, and the holes filled with good soil 
in which you have mixed some grass seeds. 
How about White Clover? We include Clover 
only in our lowest-priced mixture, which we 
call “High-Grade Lawn Seed,” because Clover 
is generally omitted nowadays in the finest 
lawns. For the convenience of our customers 
who wish it, we offer Superfine White Clover. 
Oz. ioc., % lb. 25c., lb. 70c., 10 lbs. $6.50, 
100 lbs. $55. Mixed with grass seeds, usual 
allowance of Clover is 5 per cent. 
Is “Staigreen” the best seed to use? No seeds 
are purer and grow more vigorously than the 
grass seeds in Staigreen, which is a mixture of 
five distinct varieties, and for the finest lawns 
around the residence Staigreen cannot be 
surpassed. For shade and special conditions 
use mixtures described on uiepieceding page.
