Here’s How To Have A Rich Green Lawn This Fall 
Winter and Next Spring 
We have had so many requests for information on the sowing of lawns to. winter grass after 
Bermuda browns in early fall that we have prepared the following outline which is based on our 
observations and experience: 




1. The lawn should be mowed and cut close. 
2. Now the lawn should be raked thoroughly with a sharp toothed 
rake, removing all dead grass and leaves. 
3. Then apply 4 pounds of a COMPLETE plant food per 100 square 
feet and rake off the grass blades into the soil, This will help 
the winter grass to make a quick and vigorous growth. 
(Vigoro can again be used for lawns) 
Proper feeding with a complete balanced plant food is one of the 
most important factors in having a beautiful lawn because winter 
grasses are heavy feeders. Growing under adverse conditions as 
they do they need special care and feeding. 
= 
4, Now you are ready to seed your winter lawn. Use 10 pounds of 
good winter grass seed per 1000 square feet, scattering it evenly 
by hand or with a fertilizer spreader. Rake the seed in thoroughly 
to get as much of it through the matted Bermuda into the ground 
as possible. Better still, top dress with leaf mold, peat moss, or 
sand. 
5. Sprinkle the lawn and continue to sprinkle frequently until the 
seed germinates and makes a good growth. 
This simple and inexpensive program will give you a beautiful 
green lawn within a very short time that will be the envy of the 
neighborhood throughout fall, winter and spring.
