HOW TO MAKE A LAWN AND WHEN 
lawn Grass can be sown either spring or fall. Spring 
sowing should be done in March or April and fall sowing 
in. September or October. One pound of seed will sow 300 
to 4CO square feet. Dig or plow the ground 6 inches deep, 
puiverizing the clods. Work fertilizer into the soil at the 
rate of 4 pounds to 100 square feet and rake till smooth. 
Broadcast the seed thickly, half one way and half the 
other, cover lightly and roil or pack the soil to provide a 
firm seedbed. Cut when two inches high and cut regular- 
ly. Water generously twice a week; oftener in dry weath- 
er. Pull out weeds and coarse grasses with a lawn weeder 
and sow seeds where the weeds were. For lasting results 
give the lawn a good application of fertilizer in the fall 
and spring. If you have lawn problems bring them to us.
