AUTUMN IS IDEAL FOR REBUILDING THE LAWN 
The cool, moist weather of late summer 
and early fall affords an ideal condition for 
rebuilding a Jawn that has suffered from 
drought, neglect, or the ravages of weeds. 
Seed sown at this time will show quicker 
growth and has a tendency to stool or spread 
out. Competition with weeds is practically 
elimmated at this season, since weeds are 
incapable of germimation until spring, by 
which time fall-sown grass is thoroughly 
established. Seed may be sown successfully 
as late as October 15 in the latitude of Phila- 
delphia, but we would recommend the month 
of September for best results. 
Quantity to Sow for Lawns: We recom- 
mend sowing 5 pounds per 1000 square feet, 
150 pounds per acre on new ground without 
grass. In renovating established lawns, use 
half the above quantities.

soil should be checked for drainage, 
possible acidity, and low ferility. Lb.,
