THE ANSWER TO MOST PEST and WEED TROUBLES! gteqr\ 
HOW TO MAKE A LAWN 
The best soil is a good medium texture; the surface should be thoroughly pulverized and smoothed to the desired 
grade, removing all large stones, roots and hardened pieces. When the soil is firm, level and suitably moist, sow 
Lawn Grass Seed at the rate of 75 to 100 pounds per acre, or a pound to 200 square feet (a space 10x20). 
It is unwise to be two economical in the quantity of seed used, if the best results are desired. The seed should 
be sown broadcast and as evenly as possible, then given a thorough rolling or tramp well with the back of a spade. 
Seed must be well firmed in soil. Our lawn seed does not contain Crab Grass seed. 
SOWING 
The sowing of grass seed in later summer or fall is highly recommended. Sowing at this time of year causes 
the young grass to "stool out,” whereas if planted during hot weather it tends to grow tall and slender. For this reason 
it requires a greater quantity of seed. Fall planting is also beneficial in that it prevents the re-seeding of weeds. 
Spring planting is also satisfactory, but should be done early in order that the young grass will obtain a good growth 
before warm weather. 
Water thoroughly. It is advisable to ‘soak’ the ground until the new grass has been cut. 
New turf should have its first cutting when the grass is from 2 to 3 inches long. Set the blades of the mower high 
to clip only the ends of the young grass. 
The continuous growing of one crop impoverishes the richest soil. Blue grass is no exception and when not fed 
with the proper fertilizer, soon turns sour. Blue Grass is a permanent crop and requires richer feeding than most 
crops. It must be thoroughly enriched if it is to live and grow. ; 
IMPROVING THE SOIL CONDITIONS 
Often your topsoil is of very poor texture. Either it is of heavy clay, composed of fine particles—or it is coarse 
sand, containing quantities of gravel. Either special material or a special lawn seed mixture may adequately cope 
with the deficiencies. Soil reports may show an urgent need of organic matter such as peat moss, manure or hu- 
mus. Peat moss will not always improve the structure of sandy or clay soil. Some soils will directly benefit from 
peat moss only if it is thoroughly incorporated with the topsoil to a depth of at least 4 to 6 inches. Since peat moss 
provides soil with very little plant food, it is primarily valuable for its ability to retain moisture. Avoid using peat 
moss as a topdressing or as a layer over the soil. This causes a shallow root system and a weak turf.
