Autumn Is Ideal for Rebuilding the Lawn 
The cool, moist weather of late summer and early fall 
affords an ideal condition for rebuilding a lawn that has 
suffered from drought, neglect, or the ravages of weeds, 
Seed sown at this time will show quicker growth and has a 
tendency to stool or spread out, a condition not present 
during the warmer months. Competition with weeds Is prac- 
tically eliminated at this season, since the latter are in- 
capable of germination until spring, by which time fall- 
Send for our FREE booklet, ‘Lawn Pointers, 
sown grass is thoroughly established and the weeds have 
little chance to thrive. Seed may be sown successtully as 
late as October 15 in the latitude of Philadelphia, but we 
would recommend the month of September for best results. 
Quantity to Sow for Lawns: We recommend sowing 
5 pounds per 1000 square feet; 150 pounds per acre on new 
ground without grass, In renovating established lawns, use 
half the above quantities, 
”’ for suggestions on the care of your lawn
