HOW TO MAKE A BEAUTIFUL LAWN 
Dig the soil about 6 inches deep, but only when it is dry; if rain has fallen recently allow a few days of fme weather to elapse 
before commencing. As you dig, lift each clod high enough to enable you to turn it completely over. Strike the mverted clod with 
the back of the fork to break it. Remove all stones, sticks, and rubbish. Scatter *Emerald Grass Fertilizer on the dug earth; use 
50 pounds to each 1000 square feet. Draw a rake back and forth until the soil is smooth and in fine condition. 
Sow good lawn seed at the optimum rate of 1 pound (about 114 quarts) to each 200 square feet. Double the quantity for spring 
seeding and when turf is needed quickly. Select a day when no wind is blowing; divide the seed mto two portions and sow the land 
twice to insure its even covering. When you have distributed the seed, rake the land once more, but very lightly. Do not work the 
rake back and forth—merely draw it toward you in a series of light strokes, raking only once in the same place so as to bury most 
of the grass seeds no more than ¥ inch deep. 
Roll the seeded area, but should rain fall before the work is completed, defer the rolling until the land has dried or dispense with 
it altogether.

. Scratch the surface with a rake. 
. Broadcast *Sawconure, 50 pounds per 1000 square feet, and 
*Emerald Grass Fertilizer, 20 pounds per 1000 square feet. 
Spread sufficient topsoil to make an even surface without 
hiding the grass.

late summer best seasons.
