FOLLOW THESE SIMPLE STEPS IN MAKING 
A BEAUTIFUL, MORE WEED-FREE NEW LAWN 
The lawn area is of greatest importance in any land- 
scape plan. You want it to be weed-free, thick and sturdy 
so it can take hard usage. The best way to assure that kind 
of a lawn is to see that it is properly made and properly 
maintained. Here are six steps to successful new lawn 
making: 
1. Spade deeply. At least to a depth of 6 inches. 
2. Pulverize the soil thoroughly, working in humus ma- 
terial (such as peat moss) or sand as required to con- 
dition the soil. 
3. Put on 4 pounds of a dependable fertilizer such as Vi- 
goro per 100 square feet of area and work it into the 
top inch or two of the seed bed. 
4. Seed, with good grass seed. You need a carefully cleaned 
seed, low in weed content and high in germination, to 
get a good lawn started quickly. 
5. Roll the lawn to compact the soil and assure good con- 
tact between soil and seed. If you do not have a roller 
find some means of tamping down soil enough to as- 
sure contact. 
6. Water with a fine spray daily until germination of seed 
is complete. Carpet grass seed requires 9 to 10 weeks 
(sometimes longer) to germinate. 
TO KEEP YOUR LAWN LOVELY 
1. Soak the lawn when you water it. Soaking once a week 
is much more beneficial than daily sprinkling. 
2. Feed the lawn regularly in early spring and again in 
early fall with Vigoro, or a similar complete plant 
food. 
3. Reseed bare spots as they occur. You don’t want weeds 
to get a foothold. They will if sturdy, thriving grass 
plants are not there to keep weeds out.
