mediately give the lawn a good sprinkling 
to prevent leaf injury. 
SEEDING 
While a lawn may be made successfully 
at any time during the year when the 
ground is in good condition, the best season 
is in early autumn or in the spring. If mak¬ 
ing a lawn in the spring prepare the ground 
as soon as the soil can be worked. 
Sow the EMERALD LAWN GRASS 
SEED broadcast, half one way and half at 
right angles, to give an even distribution. 
Sow when the air is calm; sowing in the 
wind causes an uneven stand. Work the 
seed into the ground with a light rake, then 
roll the ground with a lawn roller. 
One pound sows 250 square feet (10 x 25). 
An acre requires 80 to 100 pounds. 
CARE OF THE LAWN 
Start clipping the grass as soon as it gets 
two or three inches high. The mowing 
should be done frequently and not too 
closely. Lawns are greatly benefited if 
rolled each spring, as soon after the frost 
is out of the ground as possible. Lawns 
should not be trampled when wet and soft. 
Weeds in a lawn may be kept down to a 
large extent by frequent cutting. If there 
is a good soil properly fertilized and heav¬ 
ily seeded the weeds and wild grasses will 
not have the opportunity to thrive as well 
as on a neglected lawn. 
SPRINKLING THE LAWN 
A good deal of attention should be given 
to sprinkling the lawn. The hose should 
not be used until dry weather begins. Once 
a week is often enough and then the soil 
should be wet thoroughly to a depth of six
