14 HENRY FIELD'S SEED SENSE FOR AUGUST, 1949—Henry Field Seed & Nursery Co., Shen: 
Plant Lawns Early in Fall 
The best time of year to plant new 
lawns or remake thin spots is in early 
fall, during September. The big advan-

perfect lawn, just follow these four steps. 
(1) Spade ground deeply and thor-
