LAWN GRASSES 
To Make a Lawn— Spade deeply, adding a good humus material, sheep manure or other organic fertilizers which contain 
no weed seeds. Rake to the desired grade and water thoroughly to settle the soil evenly. If this preparation is made two weeks 
in advance of sowing, the surface weed seeds will have germinated and may be removed. Now rake for the final grade and 
broadcast the seed at the rate of one pound to 150 square feet, except where other quantities are suggested. 
To prevent surface drying and crusting cover the seed lightly with a mixture of soil and moistened peat moss. Sprinkle 
carefully, using a fine spray to prevent washing. Water thoroughly, but avoid applying too much in one place to form 
puddles, which may float the seed and mulch into low spots. Sprinkle daily until seed has germinated, and when the grass 
has grown about one or two inches, pull all weeds and mow. To maintain deep velvety green turf apply a good commercial 
fertilizer three or four times a year. 
For steep banks or slopes, burlap is sometimes used instead of mulch. It keeps the surface moist and prevents washing. 
Remove the burlap as soon as the seed germinates.
