LAWN GRASSES 
Prices Subject to Change Without Notice 
HOW TO HAVE A GOOD LAWN 
Spade the ground as deep as possible and turn several times to 
see that it is thoroughly pulverized. Work in a good commercial 
fertilizer. Steer manure or peat moss will add humus and im- 
prove the seed bed. Rake level and water thoroughly so the 
ground will settle. The seed bed should be allowed to stand for 
about two weeks, watering from time to time so the weed seeds 
will sprout. 
Roll the ground before seeding, to prevent it from settling un- 
evenly, and then rake the surface lightly. Sow the seed so as to 
cover the ground thoroughly, and then cover it lightly with soil. 
Roll again so as to press the seed in firmly. If you have no roller, 
use boards and tramp on them so as to pack the ground firmly, 
but a roller is preferred. 
Grass seed will germinate in from 8 to 15 days, according toa 
the weather. If a lawn is made during the summer, the ground 
should be covered lightly with peat after the seed has been 
rolled, so as to retain the moisture. New lawns should not be 
allowed to dry out, not even for a half day. For the first 15 days 
the lawn should be watered twice a day if necessary. A lawn 
should be fertilized after the first cutting, and at least twice a 
year. Water well after applying. 
WARNING. Do not use the so-called rotted manure which is 
being sold to inexperienced gardeners. It is full of wild clover 
and other weed seeds and pests. It is expensive when you take 
into consideration that a few pounds of good fertilizer is equal to 
a sack of manure. If you want a moisture-holding material for 
top-dressing use peat: it is CLEAN.
