ged... Maintenance 
WATERING—Do not sprinkle 
lightly. It is better to saturate the 
soil once or twice a week than to 
sprinkle lightly every day. If pos- 
sible use a rotating sprinkler. If 
hose is used adjust nozzle to spray- 
ing position. 
MOWING—First cutting should be 
at a height of 3 or 4 inches. As 
season progresses lower mower 
blades to cut at height of 1% to 2 
inches. Keep your lawn mower 
blades sharpened to prevent pulling 
and tearing. Never cut lawn under 1% inches, 
WEEDING—Keep lawn free of weeds. Hand pulling 
as weed plants appear is the most effective way of 

weed elimination. 
FERTILIZING—Lawns require food and must be 
properly fertilized for best results. Application of a 
good balanced fertilizer twice a year, spring and fall, 
will pay dividends in a green luxuriant stand of grass.
