Instructions for Making a Lawn 
Sow as early in the spring as weather per-— 
mits. The soil should be plowed or dug deeply 
and the clods thoroughly pulverized. Work 
fertilizer into the ground and work until 
smooth. Broadcast the grass seed thickly, 
half one way and half the other way. Cover 
lightly and then roll or pack the soil to make 
a firm seed bed. Cut when it is about two 
inches high, and keep cutting regularly. 
Water generously several times a week; 
oftener in dry weather. Pull out all weeds 
and any coarse grass and sow seed where 
the weeds were. For lasting results, give 
the lawn a good application of fertilizer in 
ine fall and spring. 
RENEWING OLD LAWNS 
Every spring and fall sow more seeds. The 
grass should be cut close. Apply a good 
fertilizer generously and stir the soil with a 
sharp rake. Sow about 1 pound of seed to 
500 square feet, a little thicker in bare spots. 
Roll lightly, and water freely.
