LAWN GRASS SEED 
HOW TO PREPARE A LAWN 
Proper soil and a good mixture are the two essentials to 
be considered when making a lawn. Seed will be found to be 
the least expensive item. The first step is to break up the 
or 
:na- 
the 
soil, using one load to an 
average 100 square yards, 
keeping it well near the 
surface. If manure is not 
available, a commercial 
fertilizer such.as Vigoro is 
recommended—5 lbs. to 
100 square feet is sufficient 
at first. Ground in a shady 
place will probably need a light application of lime. Clay 
soils should have a mulch of Ieafmold or Driconure, which is 
a mixture of peat moss and dehydrated cow manure. 
Before seeding care should be taken to rake the surface well 
by removing weed roots and stones and breaking up lumps 
of earth. The final step before seeding is to rake the surface 
until it becomes smooth and fine. Seed should be sowed ac¬ 
cording to the above chart after which it should be thoroughly 
rolled in.

make only a temporary lawn, it is a mixture that actually 
improves from year to year. For its high quality this seed is 
very low priced and is equal to some brands that sell for nearly 
twice as much.
