Tips on Maintaining Lawns 
Lawns planted in the &pring 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 13 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. 
Water 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.
