Sunset's Quality Lawn Seeds 
Our Lawn Seeds are the finest and highest grade obtainable. We supply large quantity? 
of our seed to the Government Posts in and around San Francisco and also the Navy DepL 
HOW TO PRODUCE A GOOD LAWN 
After the ground is thoroughly worked, roll it before seeding 
to prevent it from settling unevenly, and then rake the surface 
lightly. Sow the seed so as to cover the ground thoroughly, and 
then cover it lightly with soil. Roll again so as to press the seed 
in firmly. If you have no roller, use boards and tramp on them so 
es to pack the ground firmly. 
New lawns should not be allowed to dry out. not even for a. 
half day. For the first 15 days the lawn should be watered twice 
a day if necessary. 
A lawn should be fertilized after the first cutting, and at least 
twice a year. Water well after applying. We recommend Sunset 
Special Lawn and Garden Fertilizer. See this page opposite. 
Sow the seed thick enough at the start and save yourself a 
lot of unnecessary work. Use 1 pound to a space 10 x 10 feet. 
Warning. Do not use the so-called rotted manure. It is full of 
wild clover and other weed seeds. Pests, such as slugs, snails 
beetles, etc., get a start through eggs and larvae in such manure. 
A few pounds of good fertilizer is equal to a sack of manure. 
If you want a moisture-holding material for top-dressing use peat; 
it is clean.
