LAWN MAKING 
Our Lawn Grass Seed is mixed from the very best grass seed, recleaned 
and free from weeds, and we sell many hundred pounds all over Long Island, as 
there is no better grade seed on the market. 
Loosen the soil in which a new lawn is to be made to a depth of at least five 
inches, and lighten it with humus, compost or manure if it is heavy and inclined 
to bake. Apply fertilizer liberally, either Sheep Manure, Bone Meal or both. Use 
Vigoro on established lawns in early Spring and early Fall. Peat Moss is a very 
good soil conditioner for lawns. 
Sow in the early Spring when cool weather and ample rainfall will insure 
complete germination and a good start for the seedlings before hot dry weather 
comes. If seeding must be delayed, special precautions must be taken to pre- 
vent the ground drying out. Early Fall is a very desirable time to seed, if moist- 
ure is sufficient. 
See that the seed is well covered. Rake it into a new seed bed and roll so 
that the soil is firmed over the seed. Where seed is sown on an old lawn, always 
cover it with a top dressing of Peat Moss or soil and rake in. Seed thrown on the 
top of hard ground has no chance to grow and will merely wash off. Fertilize 
well after seeding. 
No Timothy or Rye Grass is ever used in our Lawn Grass Mixture. 
JAPEDIZER 
Kills the grubs and feeds the grass. Use 10 Lbs. Japedizer per |,000 square 
feet and water it in well. Afterwards loosen soil of bare and thin patches and re- 
seed. Japedizer kills the grubs, spreads the Milky Disease in the beetles and 
fertilizes the grass.

After preparing the ground with your Peat Moss and Cow Manure, | sowed Sterling 
Lawn Grass about two weeks ago. | wish you could see it now. The grass is up about an 
inch and it looks like a piece of green velvet. — H. C. H.
