LAWN GRASSES 
To Make a Lawn— Spade deeply, adding commercial fertilizer, sheep manure or other organic fertilizers which contain 
no weed seeds. Eake to the desired grade and water thoroughly to settle the soil evenly. If this preparation is made two weeks 
in advance of sowing, the surface weed seeds will have germinated and may be removed. Now rake for the final grade and 
broadcast the seed at the rate of one pound to 150 square feet, except where other quantities are suggested in the grass seed 
listings. 
To prevent surface drying and crusting cover the seed with about y A inch of moistened Imported Peat. Sprinkle carefully, 
using-a fine spray to prevent washing. Water thoroughly, but avoid applying too much in one place to form puddles, which 
may float the seed and mulch into low spots. Sprinkle daily until seed is germinated, and when the grass has grown about one 
or two inches, pull all weeds and mow. To maintain a deep velvety green turf apply a good commercial fertilizer three or 
four times a year. 
For steep banks or slopes, burlap is sometimes used instead of mulch. It keeps the surface moist and prevents washing. 
Remove the burlap as soon as the seed germinates.
