LAWN GRASS SEED z 
HOW TO HAVE A GOOD LAWN 
Spade the ground as deep as possible and turn several times 
to see that it is thoroughly pulverized. Work in a good com- 
mercial fertilizer. Peat moss will add humus and improve the 
seed bed. Rake level and water thoroughly so the ground will 
settle. The seed bed should be allowed to stand for about two 
weeks, watering from time to time so the weed seeds will 
sprout. 
Roll the ground before seeding, to prevent it from settling 
unevenly, and then rake the surface lightly. Sow the seed so 
as to cover the ground thoroughly, and then cover it lightly 
with soil, Roll again so as to press the seed in firmly. If you 
have no roller, use boards and tramp on them so as to pack the 
ground firmly, but a roller is preferred. 
Grass seed will germinate in from 8 to 15 day s, according 
to the weather. If a lawn is made during the summer, the 
ground should be covered lightly with peat after the seed has 
been rolled, so as to retain the moisture. New lawns should 
not be allowed to dry out, not even for a half day. For the first 
15 days the lawn should be watered twice a day if necessary. 
A lawn should be fertilized after the first cutting, and at least 
twice a year. Water well after applying. 
WARNING: Do not use the so-called rotted manure which 
is being sold to inexperienced gardeners. It is full of weed 
seeds and pests. It is expensive when you take into consid- 
eration that a few pounds of good fertilizer is equal to a sack 
of manure. If you want a moisture-holding material for top- 
dressing use peat; it is clean.
