How ta make 
a good lewn 
Prepare a good seed bed by dig- 
ging at least 4 or 5 in. deep, 
Establish your land slope to pre- 
vent low spots where water might 
stand, taking care to prevent a 
slope toward the foundation of 
your home which might result in 
seepage under the house. Rake 
and pulverize the soil into uni- 
formly fine condition. Apply fer- 
tilizer at the rate of 40 lbs. per 
1000 sq. ft., and rake it into the 
ground. Sow the seed evenly over 
the area, using about 1 lb. to 200 
sq. ft. It is a good idea to divide 
the seed into two equal parts, 
sowing in one direction with half, 
and cross-wise in the other direc- 
tion with the balance. This in- 
sures a more even distribution of 
seed. Rake again lightly after 
the seed is sown, to cover not 
more than % in. Roll with a light 
weight lawn roller to firm the soil 
around the seed. Water thor- 
oughly with a very fine spray. 
Use more water than you think 
is necessary, and keep the soil 
moist by daily or more frequent 
watering until the grass is well 
established. Cut your lawn with 
the mower set as high as possible.

IMPROVED PLANT HOLDERS 
You’ve never seen such a versatile and adapta- 
ble plant holder as this one. It is collapsible for 
convenient winter storage; it can be opened

sturdy, long-lasting, and square-shaped rather 
than round. This permits holders to be set side 
by side without wasted space. Useful in window 
boxes, too, and mounted flat for short vines.

TRAIN-ETTS 
Ready-made netting, ideal for all climbing plants. 
Use instead of wire or string. Wire gets hot in 
the sun, burning tendrils and foliage. String is 
tedious to tie and then often rots, causing the 
plants to fall to the ground. Train-etts are easy 
to hang, attractive, strong, enduring, and made 
of weatherized twine, After the crop is harvested, 
simply remove the dead leaves and tendrils and 
the netting is ready for next season.
