Lawn Grasses 
TO MAKE A LAWN:— 
The ground should first be deeply spaded, adding commercial 
fertilizer or manure, and should then be leveled to the proper grade. 
A good plan is to let it lay for several weeks and water thoroughly. 
This will give a chance for many of the weeds to sprout and they can 
be hoed off as they come up. After the weeds have been removed, 
rake the surface smoothly and sow the seed broadcast at the rate of 
one pound to 150 square feet, except where noted. 
After the seed has been sown, it should be covered with about 
one-quarter inch of good mulch, such as Imported Peat. This is 
very essential as it is necessary that the surface be kept continually 
moist, giving the seed an opportunity to germinate. After the first 
cutting it should be fertilized and in order to maintain a deep 
velvety green turf a dressing should be applied at least three 
times a year.
