Watkins Lawn Grasses 
How to Make a Lawn 
Dig or plow the ground deeply, pulverizing the 
clods. Work fertilizer into the soil and rake till 
smooth. Broadcast the seed thickly, half one way 
and half the other. Roll or pack the soil to provide 
a firm seed-bed. Cut when two inches high and cut 
regularly. Water generously twice a week; oftener 
in dry weather. Pull out weeds and coarse grasses 
with a lawn weeder and sow seeds where the weeds 
were. For lasting results give the lawn a good appli¬ 
cation of fertilizer in the fall and spring. 
Renewing Old Lawns 
Every spring and fall sow more seed. Cut the old 
grass close. Apply a good fertilizer generously. Stir 
the soil with a sharp rake. Sow 1 lb. of seed to 
500 square feet, thicker on bare spots. Roll lightly 
and water freely. 
What Grass to Sow 
In Virginia and farther north, in the westerly sec¬ 
tions of the Carolinas and farther west, sow Ever¬ 
green and Shady Park Lawn Grasses. 
In other parts of the South sow Southern Lawn 
Grass. Under trees and in shaded places sow Shady 
Park Lawn Grass. 
Watkins Evergreen Lawn Grass 
1 lb. sows 200 square feet; 90 to 100 lbs. sow an acre. 
A mixture of the finest turf grasses. No one grass 
is suitable for making a lawn; so we have put into 
our Evergreen a well balanced mixture of grasses that 
are at their best during different months of the year; 
will give a beautiful green growth at all seasons, and 
will make a rich, deep green velvety lawn in as short 
a time as possible. It contains no coarse grasses.

Watkins Southern Lawn Grass 
1 lb. sows 200 square feet; 90 to 100 lbs. sow an acre. 
In selecting grasses for this mixture we have taken 
only those that will give a velvety green lawn under 
the most trying conditions of summer heat and 
drought when lawns often become brown and parched. 
It makes a quick and lasting growth. It is recom¬ 
mended especially for the easterly sections of the 
Carolinas and for the states farther south.

posed of dwarf grasses especially adapted to shady 
places under trees and around the house. Under 
trees apply a double quantity of fertilizer.

Italian Rye Grass

Grass in late fall or early winter. 
This type of grass grows well in most any soil 
throughout the winter, but is killed back by extreme 
summer heat. An early sowing of Watkins Lawn 
Grass in February or March over this grass will 
establish a permanent lawn. Sow 20 to 35 lbs. to the 
acre.
