HOW TO MAKE A GOOD LAWN 
A good lawn is the result of careful preparation, good seed 
and constant attention to watering, weeding, mowing and also 
feeding. Without these fundamentals one is doomed to disap- 
pointment. 
Spade the ground as deeply as possible, turning the soil 
several times to be sure it is thoroughly pulverized. Work in a 
generous amount of commercial fertilizer and also peat or sheep 
manure at this time to provide humus. A good commercial fer- 
tilizer may be applied after the grass has established itself if 
desired. Rake level and water thoroughly and keep the surface 
moist to get all possible weeds to germinate. These are care- 
fully removed so as not to disturb the soil deeply. In a week or 
so rake the surface of the soil very lightly, just enough to catch 
the grass seed. Sow as evenly as possible, rake again very lightly 
or cover with screened soil reasonably free of weed seeds. Roll

seed, which should take from 8 to 15 days, depending on the 
weather. The lawn should be kept moist during the early stages 
of its growth to get a uniform stand of grass. Feeding, a most 
important part of lawn care, should be a regular procedure twice 
a year. Apply a top dressing of good weed free manure or com- 
mercial fertilizer which is then watered into the soil. 
healthy lawn is a good investment.
