INSTRUCTIONS ON LAWN BUILDING AND MAINTENANCE 
Early fall is one of the best times to make a new lawn, principally because of ample rainfall, continued cool weather and 
the killing of weed seed. Locally, however, early spring (March and April), because of sufficient rainfall and enough cool 
weather to give young grass a quick start, is considered equally good. 

PREPARATION 
For a successful lawn, at least 2 to 4 inches of good qu: ality top- 
soil possessing the proper organic matter and plant foods for a 
sturdy growth of grasses Is necessary. A good lawn fertilizer for 
this purpose is boneme: il, which is high in phosphate and should 
be used at the rate of 2 to 4 Ibs. per 100 sq. ft. In addition, a 1-inch 
layer of well-rotted manure will supply sufficient organic matter. 
Spread and then spade the above mixture about 4 to 6 inches deep. 
After being completely broken up and thoroughly mixed, the 
ground should be raked and rolled. Now you have a good seed- 
bed prepared. 
OLD LAWNS 
Thin turf and bare spots on old Iawns may be raked so that exist- 
ing grass is not damaged, and then seeded as though making a 
new lawn. You may also broadcast seed on a late snow in spring. 
The snow will carry the seed into the open ground. 
SOWING 
Sow at the rate of 1 Ib. to 200 sq. ft., broadcasting half the seed 
in one direction and the other half at right angles. Carefully rake 
making sure not to “bunch” the seed. Roll only if the weather is 
dry; if you start watering, keep it up. Otherwise seed may sprout 
and die off before it has rooted. For a good [awn stand this is 
important. Do not cut before grass is 3 inches high, and set mower 
to leave a stand of 2 inches. 
FERTILIZING 
Whether you start the lawn in fall or spring, ample applications 
of fertilizers have many advantages. Fertilizer forces growth and 
helps crowd out crabgrasses and weeds. Because of better root 
strength, the grasses can more easily survive hot dry summer 
weather. Apply most fertilizers when the grass is dry, at the rate 
of 2 to 4 Ibs. per 100 sq. ft. Established lawns should be fertilized 
atleast once every two years. 
ROLLING AND WEED CONTROL 
After the frost is out of the ground it is extremely necessary to roll your lawn. Do this while it is still wet but not soggy; this helps to put 
the grass roots back where they belong. 
Every spring we are asked, ‘How can we get rid of crabgrass, dandelions and most other lawn weeds?” Of course, one of the best ways is 
to have a good heavy turf, fertilized ex irly, Kept seeded so there will be no place for weeds to grow. However, when the above obnoxious weeds 
do appear, it is advisable to use chemicals such as 2,4-D. The presence of moss does not necessarily mean the soil is acid; usually it is the 
result of less fertility. Apply nitrate of soda (1 Ib. per 100 sq. ft.) for this condition,
