In planting, have ground spaded several 
inches deep. 
Solid sod comes in blocks one foot square, 
and weighs 80 pounds per square yard of 
nine blocks. Blocks should be cut in pieces 
3 inches square, planted 12 to 15 inches 
apart. In this manner a square yard will 
plant 150 square feet of surface. In plant- 
$1.35 per square yard: 5 yards, 
ng nid not cover foliage, but press soil 
firmly around blocks. 
Best time to plant is from February to 
September. 
CARE OF GRASS 
When St. Augustine Grass is well established, it 
should be kept closely mowed, and not allowed to 
make a thick carpet. If soil is not very good, give 
a light sprinkling of good loamy soil once a year, 
and one or two applications of commercial fertilizer. 
REMEDY FOR BROWN SPOT 
If grass begins to die, use the following: 
1 ounce calomel 
2 ounce bichloride of mercury 
3 lbs. (13 pints) sand 
Mix thoroughly and spread over 300 square feet of 
surface, and sprinkle well with water immediately.
