Renovating Y our Present Lawn 
AVERAGE SOILS 
TREATMENT —(Where you now have fair soil surface.) 
Cut lawn crosswise, raking it stiffly after each cutting. Then top 
dress with one inch of weed'free loam. Just screened loam will 
not do. Make sure that it originates from good farm land or wood' 
land top soil. 
After raking even, apply a long lasting organic plant food such 
as English Formula Lawn and Garden Dressing at the rate of 3 lbs. 
to the 100 square feet. 
Next sow Puttingreen Lawn Seed at the rate of 1 lb. to 100 square 
feet and roll. As previously mentioned, watering with a fine 
spray is necessary each evening until a fair growth of new grass 
has been established. 
IMPORTANT —Don’t cut any new lawn within four weeks’ time, and 
do not rake first few clippings for they tend to foster root development by 
conserving moisture. By “loam” we mean a naturally dark, humus soil.
