to Establish a Lawn 
A lawn may be started almost any time of the year. In the northern states the best and 
quickest results are gotten by sowing the seed as early in the spring as possible in order to 
establish a firm sod before hot weather. Sowing may also be done during August and Septem- 
ber, in which case the grass will make its most abundant growth during the cool fall months. 
Grass germinates best and grows fastest while the weather is cool and moist. Summer sowings, 
made during the hot weather, require the closest attention to insure success. Seed sown as 
late as October does not germinate usually until the next spring, and is liable to winter injury. 
Sometimes the seed is sown on the last light spring snows, and when the snows melt, the seed 
is carried into the soil and germinates as the weather warms up. 
Never sow grass seed sparingly; it is false economy. By seeding a lawn thinly, we are 
giving the weed seeds which are always present in the soil an opportunity to get a foothold 
among the grass plants, and this later entails much back-breaking work to free the lawn from 
the intruders. By using a liberal quantity of the seed the grasses will choke out the majority 
of the weeds, and the crowding of the various grasses results in a much finer leaf, which 1s most 
desirable. CITY PARK LAWN SEED
