You, Too, Can Have a Lawn Like This 
OW that we have chemical weed killers to eliminate that tedious, back-breaking job of weeding 
and fertilizers to grow luxurious green grass it is not difficult to maintain a beautiful lawn. 
Do the job right and your lawn will be the pride and joy of your family and the envy of your neigh- 
bors. 
Follow the six rules below and sow good seed. 
1. Lawn making starts with the preparation of the 
soil. Spade or hoe to the depth of from 4 to 6 inches, 
and pulverize thoroughly. Grass seeds are very, very 
small and will not grow in or on clods. 
2. Apply a good fertilizer at a liberal rate. This 
assures an ample supply of the elements that plants 
must get from the soil, available when they need them. 
Be sure to apply evenly. 
3. Work the fertilizer into the soil with a rake. 
Wait one day before seeding. 
4. Sow good grass seed at the rate of 6 to 10 pounds 
per 1,000 square feet. If you sow by hand, sow half 
lengthwise and half crosswise. 
5. Roll or tamp to imbed seed and insure perfect 
contact between seed and soil. This is important. A 
tamper or wide board can be used on small areas 
when roller is not available. 
6. Water thoroughly, using a very fine spray. Con- 
tinue to water daily until seed germination is complete 
(3 to 4 weeks), then water as needed but always water 
thoroughly. Light sprinkling encourages shallow roots.
