Hints for Planting LAWNS 
and Care of 
A LOVELY LAWN is not difficult to get and maintain 
if a little care is exercised in building the lawn and 
taking care of it. 
Cultivated soil needs only spading to loosen it and 
raking to grade for seeding. If soil is poor or unculti- 
vated, work in a 2-inch layer of manure or peat while 
spading. Water after grading to settle. Do this for a 
week at least and fill in low spots before seeding. 
SEEDIN G—Lightly rake new “lawn” over and loosen 
only the surface. Take grass seed at rate of 1 pound to 
200 square feet of area—divide in half. Sow half broad- 
cast, walking say north or south. Then the balance whlie 
walking east or west. Do this on a windless day so 
seed will fall evenly over ground surface. The lawn 
may be lightly raked again if desired and rolled to 
pack seed into soil. If desired, a light layer, ¥% inch, of 
peat may be spread over “lawn” as a mulch to conserve 
mixture. 
Careful, light watering soon makes the seed germi- 
nate without washing the seeds out. When grass is high 
enough mow carefully with blades set 1% inches high. 
As new grass grows thickly reduce this height to the 
usual permanent cutting height. 
Applications of balanced fertilizers in spring when 
growth starts helps new lawn maintain its vigor. Water- 
ing by soaking, especially during hot weather, keeps 
that emerald green quality so desirable in permanent 
lawns.
