LAWN MAKING 
Our Lawn Grass Seed is mixed from the very best grass seed, re- 
cleaned and free from weeds, and we sell many hundred pounds all 
over Long Island, as there is no better grade seed on the market. 
Loosen the soil in which a new lawn is to be made to a depth 
of at least five inches, and lighten it with humus, compost or manure 
if it is heavy and inclined to bake. Apply fertilizer liberally, either 
Sheep Manure, Bone Meal, Vigoro or our New Agrico Special High 
Analysis fertilizer. Use three inches of top soil or humus if too light. 
Sow in the early spring when cool weather and ample rainfall 
will insure complete germination and a good start for the seedlings 
before hot dry weather comes. If seeding must be delayed, special 
precautions must be taken to prevent the ground drying out. Early fall 
is a very desirable time to seed, if moisture is sufficient. 
See that the seed is well covered. Rake it into a new seed bed 
and roll so that the soil is firmed over the seed. Where seed is sown on 
an old lawn always cover it with a top dressing of sand or soil and 
fertilizer. Seed thrown on the top of hard ground has no chance to 
grow and will merely wash off. 
We will de your grading and seeding for you at a very reasonable 
cost. We would appreciate a chance to figure on your job.
