To secure a beautiful lawn, the ground should be well drained and the soil carefully prepared to make it fine, smooth, 
and mellow. Careful consideration should be given as to the kind of seed to be used. The cost of the seed represents the 
smallest part of the investment. It is false economy to save a few cents by purchasing a lawn seed from a questionable 
source, only to be annoyed later by repatching a weedy turf or being required to do the entire work over. The seed 
should be sown at a time when the young plants have a chance to become established before being exposed to extreme dry, 
hot weather or freezing temperatures. 
Seed should be sown evenly at the rate of 1 pound to 25 0 square feet on new lawns or 100 pounds per acre. It re' 
quires about one-half as much seed for an established lawn, depending on how thick a stand of grass there is, usually about 
50 pounds per acre for renovating. A thick sod is the best protection against weeds. 
Sow seed on a calm day. To insure uniform distribution, half the seed should be sown one way, then cross and sow 
balance at right angles. The seed should be covered by light raking and a top dressing of peat moss or humus. The 
lawn is then ready for rolling. If watering is necessary, use a fine spray to prevent washing.
