AUTUMN IS IDEAL FOR REBUILDING THE LAWN 
The cool, moist weather of late sum- 
mer and early fall affords an ideal con- 
dition 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 warm- 
er months. Competition with weeds is 
practically eliminated at this season, 
since the latter are incapable of germi- 
nation until spring, by which time fall- 
sown grass is thoroughly established 
and the weeds have little chance to 
thrive. Seed may be sown successfully 
as late as October 15th in the latitude 
of Philadelphia, but we would recom- 
mend the month of September for best 
results. 
Quantity to Sow for Lawns: We rec- 
ommend 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.
