28 Well-fed Grass Crowds Weeds from the Lawn 


LAWN SEEDS 
New lawns can be started any time 
during the growing season but best 
results follow April or early September 
seeding. A well prepared seedbed is 
absolutely necessary—the more care 
before sowing the seed, the better the 
results. GOOD SEED IS IMPORTANT 
AND ECONOMICAL. ‘The cost of the 
seed for your lawn is the smallest 
part of its total cost.
