LAWN GRASS SEED 
HOW TO MAKE A LAWN 
Preparation of Soil -A fine seed bed is essential and the soil should be 
spaded deeply removing large lumps. Roll to make the area even. 
Fertilizing -Use a reliable commercial fertilizer and mix thoroughly with 
th e soil for quantity follow the directions on the container. W’et soil and leave 
for about two days. Never sow seed immediately after applying a fertilizer as 
the seedlings will burn. 
Seeding —Use a good mixture of lawn grass seed. Seed may be sown any 
time, preferably in the spring. Choose a quiet day and sow the seed half one 
way and half the other way to insure a more even stand. Sow one pound of 
seed to every 250 - 300 square feet, then roll again. Wet thoroughly in the 
evenings until the sod is well established.
