10 STEPS TO A BEAUTIFUL LAWN 
Much has been written on the subject of planting a lawn, but 
the process should not be difficult if one follows a few general 
rules. 
The soil should be fairly rich and friable. Often in our area it 
is necessary to add topsoil. This is available and of a good quality. 
In other cases the addition of gypsum at rate of 3-4 bags per 1000 
square feet, humus builder or peat moss will do the necessary job. 
In any event the procedure after the ground is prepared is the 
same. We suggest these 10 steps to a beautiful lawn. 
1. Turn soil and water. After weeds have sprouted turn soil again 
and water. This cycle should be repeated until most of the 
weeds are gone. This generally requires about a month. 
2. Rake and level. 
Roll and level. 
4. Fertilize, using about four pounds commercial fertilizer per 
100 square feet. Not manure. 
5. Scratch surface slightly and sow seeds. Roll again thoroughly. 
6. Apply light mulch of finely shreded Canadian Peat at the rate 
of 600 to 1,000 square feet per bale. Roll lightly. 
Ww 
7. Water with fine spray. Don’t allow water to wash the peat or 
seed. 
8 Keep moist at all times. Water with fine spray. 
9. Some grass will appear in from 5 to 7 days. Others may take 
up to 3 weeks. 
10. Cutting should not be done until the grass is from 2 to 3 
inches high.
