DIRECTIONS FOR MAKING A NEW LAWN 
The ground should be spaded or plowed to a depth of ten or twelve inches, if well rotted stable manure 
can be obtained it should be spaded or plowed in. 
After plowing, the soil should be thoroughly pulverized and Sheep Manure, Ground Bone or a High 
Grade Fertilizer well raked in. 
The land should be raked as level as possible and all indentations removed. 
Care should be taken to sow the seed just as evenly as possible, the quantity of seed that is to be used 
should be divided into two equal parts and should be sowed lengthways and crossways to assure a thorough 
covering of the ground, then apply a very light dressing of finely sifted good soil, roll or plank the ground 
quite firm, this will press the seed into the soil and prevent the drying out from the top. 
A good Lawn Grass Mixture should be used and should be sowed quite generously. 
If top soil is to be used the land should be plowed or spaded and pulverized, four or five inches of good 
soil applied evenly and rolled down firmly, then thoroughly raked with steel rake and follow above direc¬ 
tions for seeding. 
RENEWING AN OLD LAWN 
A good liberal dressing of Sheep Manure, Ground Bone or High Grade Fertilizer should be applied, and 
the lawn should be thoroughly raked two or three times lengthways and crossways with a steel rake, this will 
remove all dead matter and loosen the surface of the lawn so the seed that is being applied can lodge in the 
freshly loosened soil and germinate. 
After sowing seed give it a light dressing of finely sifted good soil, then roll or plank firmly. 
This should be done when the lawn is thoroughly dry. 
FERTILIZING OR FEEDING A LAWN 
A lawn should be fertilized (Plant food supplied) two or three times during the growing season, early 
Spring, Summer and Fall. 
Sheep Manure is a natural Grass Manure and will give the lawn a quick start, is lasting and will pro¬ 
duce a rich green color. 
Ground Bone is a slow steady strong feed and is excellent where the soil is poor. 
LIMING A LAWN 
When your lawn begins to show Chick Weed or patches of Green Moss it is getting sour. 
Give it a dressing of very fine ground Lime Eock (agricultural Lime). There should be a week or ten 
days between the Liming and Fertilizing a lawn. 
Seed your lawn several times during the growing season. By doing this you will keep the lawn quite free 
from weeds. 
Just as soon as the grass on a lawn begins to get poor and thin, the many weed seeds which are in the 
fields and vacant places will be carried by the winds or stirred up by passing vehicles and will find a resting 
place in your lawn, will grow, thrive and will crowd out the finer grasses. This can be overcome by keeping 
the lawn well seeded, leaving no lodging places for the weed seeds. 
A lawn should be rolled several times during the season, this tends to firm down the sward and prevents 
the sod from becoming porous which sometimes is the cause of a lawn turning brown or having a yellowish 
unhealthy appearance. 
A lawn should be mowed at regular intervals with a good sharp lawn mower. It is a good idea to have 
the clippings not over one inch or one and one-half inches in length. If these are not raked off they will sink 
down between the blades of grass and soon disappear, will form a mulch and hold the moisture. They will 
decay, furnish plant food for the lawn and prevent weed seeds from lodging. 
In a wet season a lawn can be mowed quite frequently. When the season is hot and dry, caution should 
be used, because if it is cut too close the sun will have access to the grass roots, will dry and parch the 
ground and cause the lawn to turn brown.
