BUILDING A LAWN 
1—Spade or plow area to an 8 
to 10 inch depth. Pulverize the 
soil thoroughly. 
2—Distribute uniformly over the 
area, a well balanced fertilizer at 
the rate of four pounds per hun- 
dred square feet. 
3—Work the fertilizer 
soil with a rake. 
4—Carefully seed with one of 
our fine blends in the quantity 
recommended for the specific 
grass types. Sow half lengthwise 
and half crosswise for even dis- 
tribution on a windless day. 
5—Roll well with a lawn roller to 
impress the seed into the soil. If 
the area is a small one use a 
wide flat board on the seeded 
area; walk heavily back and forth 
over it. 
6—Water well with a fine mist so 
the seeds do not become dis- 
lodged. If the normal moisture is 
enough to keep the lawn slightly 
damp do not water it again until 
the seed has germinated.

ways.

as it stands wet weather or even over- 
flowing, better than other grasses, Also
