Special care must be given the lawn throughout the 
hot summer months, as Kentucky Blue grass needs a 
resting period in mid-summer, and Red Top will grow 
most anywhere and has its resting period in the fall 
after the Kentucky Blue Grass has recovered. If ex- 
cellent growth and vigor have been maintained 
during the spring, the lawn can be kept in a green 
vigorous condition during the summer, by careful 
watering, feeding and clipping. 
At the approach of fall, lawns should again have a 
thorough application of either Vigoro or Milorganite, 
applied at the rate of 4 lbs. per hundred square feet, 
and the lawn should be thoroughly soaked, following 
the application, as stated above. 
Care of the Lawn 
Young grass should be allowed to grow three inches 
high before the first cutting, but on established lawns 
the grass should be cut quite short until the middle 
of May. Fertilize it well and try to get a complete 
ground cover, and after this has been accomplished, 
keep it cut as long as possible. Lower the wooden 
roller on your mower or better still, alter it or secure 
one that will cut three inches high. Plenty of. leaf 
growth will shade the grass roots in hot weather and 
best of all, provide a laborless way of preventing 
weeds and crab grass from seeding, as weeds will not 
grow in a thick shady stand of grass and crab grass 
will not germinate even in semi-shade. 
Whenever you are applying water to an established 
lawn be liberal with the amount used, as the water 
should penetrate 4 inches to do any good, and light 
sprinklings do injury—not good; they are about the 
worst treatment you can give your lawn. 
It is best to water only once a week on clay soil, but 
it should be applied so that the water is quickly ab- 
sorbed into the soil. Sandy soils dry out more quickly, 
and lighter and more frequent waterings are necessary.
