F.S.&N.Co’s DEPENDABLE LAWN GRASS SEED 
How to Make a 
GOOD LAWN 
Preparation of Soil 
The soil should be spaded to a depth of one 
foot, removinK all stones and roughage. Large 
plots may be plowed and harrowed. A fine 
seed bed is essential. 
Fertilizing 
After the plot has been spaded, apply a three- 
to-six-inch coating of peat moss and a good 
commercial fertilizer, such as Sacco (see page 
7 2), allowing 20 lbs. for every 1,000 square 
feet. Respade, mixing thoroughly with the soil. 
Barnyard fertilizer may be used in place of 
commercial fertilizer, but it carries seeds of 
weeds and coarse grasses that grow with the 
Grass Seed, and are difficult to eradicate. 
Seeding 
Grass Seed may be sown any time, but early 
spring sowing before the hot dry weather sets 
in, is best. Sow the seed on a quiet day, and 
broadcast two ways—us.ng one lb. of seed tor 
every 200 to 2.50 square feet—100 to 125 
lbs. per acre. If possible, sow shortly before a 
rain. By sowing half the seed one way, and 
the other half the other way. a uniform, even 
stand is assured. Harrow or rake the ground 
carefully to cover the .seed and follow with a 
roller to pack the soil. Water thoroughly and 
regularly in the evenings, until the sod is fairly 
well established.

with a duster. Ask for si>ecial descriptive circu¬
