SUGGESTIONS FOR MAKING A LAWN 
In making a new lawn, the soil should be spaded very thoroughly and if any Quack-grass 
is present, all the roots should be picked out. The surface must be made level at the same time. 
After leveling, the soil should be either tramped down or rolled with a heavy roller to get the 
foundation firm. Seed should be broad-cast very evenly at the rate of 1 Ib. of good clean seed to 
about 200 square feet. The seed should then be either covered with a thin layer of soil or 
chopped down and the soil rolled again and watered. For repairing an old lawn we recommend 
to scratch the sod thoroughly and deep with a rake so the dead grass can be cleared off and the 
surface of the soil rough, then sprinkle the seed. Now go over the lawn again with the back 
or smooth side of the rake to cover up as much seed as possible. Another method will be to 
sprinkle seed on the old lawn and then cover with at least Yz-inch of finely pulverized peat moss. 
Once in a while the lawn, especially an old one, should be given an application of some good plant 
food containing Nitrogen.
