TIPS ON MAINTAINING LAWNS 
Lawns planted in the Spring should be seeded as early as possible. Fall sowing is more satisfactory. 
As a general rule, the permanency of a lawn varies according to price. The higher the price of the seed, 
the more permanent grasses are used. 
Damage to lawns is done by annual weeds and crab grass. It doesn’t help much to dig these out after 
the plant has dropped its seed. The attack should come before. 
Too close mowing is not desirable. For best results do not clip under Iff inches. 
Most soil in the shade is too acid. Lime should be applied. This is a general rule and of course there 
are exceptions. 
Shall I plant clover in my lawn? The answer is mostly according to individual taste. Most people 
prefer a seed mixture including clover and lawns seem to survive the hot Summer better when clover is 
used in the formula. Landreths’ Mixtures have clover unless specially ordered without it. 
In watering the lawn do not sprinkle the surface. This does more harm than good. V ater as little 
as possible but do it thoroughly so the water will sink in three or four inches. 
A lawn like anything else which grows needs food. It is best to fertilize early in the Spring or in the 
Fall. We do not recommend any Summer fertilizing except in making new lawns late in August.
