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 or tamp to make the area even. 
Fertilizing—Use a reliable commercial fertilizer and mix thoroughly with 
the soil; for quantity follow the directions on the container. Wet the soil and 
leave for about two days. Never sow seed immediately after applying a fertilizer 
as the seedlings will bum. 
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 or tamp again. Wet thoroughly in 
the evenings until the sod is well established.

SPIKE-TAMP 
This two-in-one tool which can be used as a spiker or 
tamper, is endorsed by the U. S. Dept of Agriculture. 
When the plate is set for spiking there are thirty-six 
spikes nearly two inches long. Using any type of wrench a 
single nut is turned and the nine inch plate is reversed to a 
tamper. For tamping seeded areas and leveling uneven 
places in the lawn the tool is invaluable. In spiking 
position it is useful to aerate the soil and cultivate the grass 
preventing hard dry brown spots. Spiking is recommended 
instead of raking when reseeding a lawn.
