SPRINGFIELD SEED COMPANY, SPRINGFIELD, MO. 25 
OUR SUPERIOR MIXED LAWN GRASS 
O MAKE A LAWN 
Remember when making a lawn that it is to last for years, and be an ornament to the home, so give plenty of time 
and care to preparation before the seeds are sown. Several weeks before sowing dig the soil deeply; break up the lumps, 
apply our Premier Horticultural Peat Moss and a lawn fertilizer such as VIGORO and rake the top soil; at intervals of 
ten days or two weeks rake the surface to destroy the weeds, and before sowing have the surface as fine as a rake will 
make it. Sow half the seeds, then sow the other half at right angles to the first sowing—this gives an even distribution. 
After sowing rake slightly so as not to cover the seeds too deep—covering with a roller is better—small seeds cannot 
germinate if planted too deep, an eighth of an inch is about right. Do not put stable manure on your lawn, as it adds to 
the many weeds already in the soil, and if not well broken up the lumps of manure will smother your grass. 
Start the lawn as early as possible to give the grass a chance to become well established before the spring growth 
of weeds.
