GOODES’ LAWN SEEDS 
For Winter and Summer 
Success in lawn making requires first of all 
GOOD SEED 
Our lawn seeds quoted below are in every case the highest 
quality obtainable. 
AVOID FAILURE BY USING HIGH QUALITY SEED 
How to Have a Good Lawn 
Spade the ground as deeply as possible and turn several times 
to see that it is thoroughly pulverized. Work in a good commercial 
fertilizer. Sheep guano or peat moss will add humus and improve 
the seed bed. Rake level and water thoroughly so the ground will 
settle. The seed bed should be allowed to stand for about two 
weeks, watering from time to time so the weed seeds will sprout. 
Roll the ground before seeding, to prevent it from settling un- 
evenly, 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 as to pack the ground firmly, but 
a roller is preferred. 
Grass seed will germinate in from 8 to 15 days, according to the 
weather. If a lawn is made during the summer, the ground should 
be covered lightly with peat after the seed has been rolled, so as to 
retain the moisture. 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. 
WARNING: Do not use the so-called rotted manure which is 
being sold to inexperienced gardeners. It is full of wild clover and 
other weed seeds and pests. It is expensive when you take into 
consideration that 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.
