BUILDING A LAWN 
In preparing soil, it should be dug about 6 inches deep, harrowed, 
or pulverized with rototiller and graded smoothly. If this is not 
practical, have the ground spaded thoroughly and leveled and raked 
perfectly smooth. If soil is poor it pays to add humus soil. Even 
with rich soil it is necessary to add a commercial fertilizer. To feed 
the grass, use Malmo Organic Fertilizer at the rate of 100 pounds 
to each 1500 square feet. Work this natural plant food well into 
the soil and rake in smoothly. Broadcast the seed at the rate of 
] pound to each 200 square feet. Cover seed by scattering 4 to V2 
inch of peat moss and then roll. While seed is germinating and the 
grass is young, care should be used, especially in dry weather, to 
see that the ground is kept moist. Watch it closely and sprinkle 
when necessary, sometimes as often as three times a day.
