HOW TO HAVE A GOOD LAWN 
Spade the ground as deep as possible and turn several times 
to see that it is thoroughly pulverized. Work in a good com- 
mercial fertilizer. Sheep guano or peat moss will add humus 
and improve the seed bed. Rake level and water thoroughly so 
the ground will settle. The seed bed should be allowed to stand 
for about two weeks, watering from time to time so the weed 
seeds will sprout. 
Roll the ground before seeding, to prevent it from settling 
unevenly, and then rake the surface lightly. Sow the seed so 
as to cover the ground thoroughly, and then cover it lightly with 
soil. Roll again so as to press the seed in firmly. If you have no 
roller, use boards and tramp on them so as to pack the ground 
firmly, but a roller is preferred. 
Grass seed will germinate in from 8 to 15 days, according to 
the weather. If a lawn is made during the summer, the ground 
should be covered lightly with peat after the seed has been rolled, 
so as to retain the moisture. New lawns should not be allowed 
to dry out, not even for a half day. For the first 15 days the lawn 
should”be watered twice a day if necessary. A lawn should be 
fertilized after the first cutting, and at least twice a year. Water 
well after applying. If you want a moisture-holding material for 
top-dressing use peat.
