A SMOOTH, healthy green lawn is an immense improvement for any home—in fact, it is a neces- 
maintaining a lawn, but it is still necessary to start with the best seed you can buy. Buy Barteldes 
lawn seed, and you will save in the long run. 
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 as- 
sures 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 length- 
wise 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. Continue 
to water daily until seed germination is complete (3 to 
4 weeks), then water as needed but always water thor- 
oughly. Light sprinkling encourages shallow roots. 
LAWN OF CRABGRASS 
Pax fertilizes the lawn and kills crabgrass at the same time. Must be applied EARLY in the spring to kill the crab- 
grass seed before it starts to grow. It kills the seed, not the plants, but if the seeds are killed there will be no plants.
