LAWN GRASS SEED 
HOW TO MAKE A LAWN 
Preparation of Soil—A fine seed bed is essential and the soil should be 
spaded deeply removing large lumps. Roll or tamp to make the area even. 
Fertilizing—Use a reliable commercial fertilizer and mix thoroughly with 
the soil; for quantity follow the directions on the container. Wet the soil and 
leave for about two days. Never sow seed immediately after applying a fertilizer 
as the seedlings will burn. 
Seeding—Use a good mixture of lawn grass seed. Seed may be sown any 
time, preferably in the spring. Choose a quiet day and sow the seed half one 
way and half the other way to insure a more even stand. Sow one pound of 
seed to every 250-300 square feet, then roll or tamp again. Wet thoroughly in 
the evenings until the sod is well established.
