BUILDING A LAWN 
In Western Washington the best period for lawn making is in 
early fall or spring. We would suggest planting seed either dur- 
ing August or September or during April and May. At this time 
the temperature is mild and rains help to develop a good stand. 
However, planting a lawn may be done earlier and later than this 
if weather is warm enough to make grass grow. In preparing soil, 
it should be dug about 6 inches deep, harrowed, or pulverized with 
rototiller and graded smoothly. If this is not practical, have the 
ground spaded thoroughly and leveled and raked perfectly smooth. 
To feed the grass, use Malmo Organic Fertilizer at the rate of 100 
pounds to each 1500 square feet. Work this natural plant food 
well into the soil and rake in smoothly. Broadcast the seed at the 
rate of | pound to each 200 square feet. It is advisable to sow 
across as well as up and down (using half quantity of seed for 
each sowing) to insure evenness of seeding. Cover seed by scat- 
tering 4 to Y2 inch of peat moss and then roll. While seed is 
germinating and the grass is young, care should be used, especially 
in dry weather, to see that the ground is kept moist. Watch it 
closely and sprinkle when necessary, sometimes as often as three 
times a day. 
All Grass Seeds listed here are extra heavy weight of highest 
germination and will bring the best results. Prices on grass seeds 
subject to change without notice.

Malmo Organic is not a chemical LLU ae 
but an organic food that becames 
available naturally through bacterial action as the plants can 
assimilate it. Its effects are lasting, building the soil as it fer- 
tilizes. The proportions of nitrogen, phosphate and potash are 
high and blended to suit our conditions here. It proves most 
economical as less need be used than of many other fertilizers.
