WETSEL’S Famous LAWN GRASSES 
“THE BEST FOR VIRGINIA ” 

WETSEL’S LAWN GRASS 
HOW TO MAKE A LAWN 
Lawn grass may be sown either in March or April, or in September or October. One pound 
of seed will plant 300 to 400 square feet. Dig the ground to a depth of 6 inches, making it fine 
and smooth. Work fertilizer (Vigoro is recommended) into the soil at the rate of 4 pounds to 
100 square feet, and rake it until smooth. Broadcast the seed thickly, half one way and half 
the other; cover it lightly and roll the soil to provide a firm seed-bed. Cut the grass when it 
is 2 inches high, and continue to mow it regularly. Water it generously twice a week if possible, 
but never merely sprinkle it with the hose, for this practice brings the grass roots to the surface 
of the ground where they are easily burned out by the hot summer sun. Remove all weeds 
as they appear and sow more grass seed in their place. For lasting results give the lawn a good 
application of fertilizer in the fall and spring.

Equally effective on flowers, shrubs,

sanitary, and easy to use—by far your 
best buy in plant-food. It is especially 
recommended for use on lawns. Only 
4 pounds is necessary to feed 100 square 
feet. 
For maximum growth, grass needs 11 
different food elements from the soil. 
Vigoro, the complete plant-food, supplies 
all 11 needed elements in balanced pro- 
portions. It encourages a mass of deep 
foraging roots and a top-growth so thick 
it helps check the weeds! And only 4 
pounds of Vigoro to 100 square feet makes 
a complete feeding.
