INSTRUCTIONS ON LAWN BUILDING AND MAINTENANCE 
PREPARATION 
For a successful lawn, at least 2 to 4 inches of good quality top- 
soil possessing the proper organic matter and plant foods for a 
sturdy growth of grasses is necessary. A good lawn fertilizer for 
this purpose is bonemeal, which is high in phosphate and should 
be used at the rate of 2 to 4 bs. per 100 sq. ft. In addition, a 1-inch 
layer of well-rotted manure will supply sufficient organic matter. 
Spread and then spade the above mixture about 4 to 6 inches deep. 
After being completely broken up and thoroughly mixed, the 
ground should be raked and rolled. Now you have a good seed- 
bed prepared. 
OLD LAWNS 
Thin turf and bare spots on old lawns may be raked so that exist- 
ing grass is not damaged, and then seeded as though making a 
new lawn. You may also broadcast seed on a late snow in spring. 
The snow will carry the seed into the open ground. 
SOWING 
Sow at the rate of 1 lb. to 200 sq. ft., broadcasting half the seed 
in one direction and the other half at right angles. Carefully rake, 
making sure not to ‘‘bunch” the seed. Roll only if the weather is 
dry; if you start watering, keep it up. Otherwise seed may sprout 
and die off before it has rooted. For a good lawn stand this is 
important. Do not cut before grass is 3 inches high, and set mower 
to leave a stand of 2 inches 
FERTILIZING 
Whether you start the lawn in fall or spring, ample applications 
of fertilizers have many advantages. Fertilizer forces growth and 
helps crowd out crabgrasses and weeds. Because of better root 
strength, the grasses can more easily survive hot dry summer 
weather. Apply most fertilizers when the grass ts dry, at the rate 
of 2 to 4 lbs. per 100 sq. ft. Established lawns should be fertilized 
at least once every two years.
