HOW TO PLANT ST. AUGUSTINE GRASS LAWNS 
The St. Augustine Carpet Grass has come to be the most favored 
for the lawn of the home grounds throughout the Southwest. It 
does make a marvelous lawn grass, and once a good lawn, it 
continues to be attractive. 
The most successful method of planting it is to prepare the 
soil to the desired level, then cut the sod into small clumps 2% or 
3” squares and plant on 12 to 15 inch centers over the entire area. 
Apply 1% teaspoonsful of commercial fertilizer in hole before plant- 
ing under the clump of grass. Thoroughly pack grass into hole 
and keep well watered. Mow lightly tall stems until it sends out 
runners to cover the lawn surface, then keep cut regularly to any 
desired level.
