HAMILTON’S HAWKEYE SEEDS 
Hawkeye Lawn Grass Seed 
The essentials of a beautiful lawn are: Rich, well drained soil; careful preparation of the ground, to make it fine and 
smooth and mellow; wise selection of seeds; sowing at a time when the young plants will have a chance to become well 
established before they are exposed to dry or cold weather or hot summer sunshine. Special care should be given to selec¬ 
tion of grasses because some varieties are most luxuriant in spring, some in summer, others in autumn, and a combination 
of the proper sorts is necessary to insure a velvety carpet-like lawn. 
Seed may be sown early in spring or in fall. It should be sown at the rate of 1 pound to every 300 square feet, or 100 
to 200 pounds to the acre. If the work is done in spring, make the surface fine and smooth by raking; then, sow the seed 
as early as possible, preferably just before a shower, as this will push the seed far enough into the ground to cover it suffi¬ 
ciently. In fall, sow before the autumn rains, early enough so that the young grass can become established before cold 
weather.
