Your Lawu Cau Be Seautifal/ 
START YOUR LAWN THIS WAY 
Be sure that the soil has good drainage and that the seed bed is fine, smooth, and mellow. Careful consideration 
should be given to the kind of seed to be used. The cost of the seed represents the smallest part of the investment. 
It is false economy to save a few cents by purchasing lawn seed from a questionable source, only to be annoyed later 
by repatching a weedy turf or being required to do the entire work over. 
Select a calm day and sow half the quantity one way and the remaining half at right angles. Seed at the rate of 
a pound to 200 square feet on new lawns or 125 to 150 pounds per acre. It requires about half as much seed for an 
established Iawn. A thick sod is the best protection against weeds. The seed should be covered by light raking and a 
top dressing of peat moss or humus. The lawn is then ready for rolling. If watering is necessary, use a fine spray 
to prevent washing. 
Facts Concerning Late Summer and Early Fall Sowing 
The cool, moist weather of Iate summer and early fall affords an ideal condition for renovating or rebuilding a 
lawn that has suffered from drought, neglect, or the ravages of crab grass or other weeds. This is also the ideal time 
for building a new lawn. Seed sown at this time will show quicker growth and has a tendency to stool or spread out, 
a condition not presert during the warmer months. Competition with weeds is practically eliminated at this season, 
since they will not germinate until spring, by which time the grass is thoroughly established. Seed may be sown 
successfully as late as November in the latitude of Cincinnati, but we would recommend September for best results.
