You too... can have a 
beautiful lawn ! 
START YOUR LAWN THIS WAY 
Be sure the soil has good drainage. Have the seed bed fine, smooth, and mellow. Careful consideration should be given as to 
the kind of seed to be used. The cost of the seed represents the smallest part of the investment. It is false economy to save a 
few cents by purchasing a lawn seed from a questionable source, only to be annoyed later by repatching a weedy turf or being re- 
quired to do the entire work over. 
Select a calm day and sow half the quantity one way and the remaining half at right angles. Seed at the rate of 1 pound 
to 200 square feet on new lawns or 125 to 150 pounds per acre. It requires about one-half as much seed for an established 
lawn. A thick sod is the best protection against weeds. The seed should be covered by light raking and a top dressing of peat 
moss or humus. The lawn is then ready for rolling. If watering is necessary, use a fine spray to prevent washing.
