Wood’s High-Grade Lawn Grass Seed 
New Lawns sow 1 Ib. per 200 sq. ft. 
HOW TO MAKE A LAWN 
TIME. It is best to seed lawns in the fall or early spring so 
the seedlings can develop deep roots during mild weather and be 
able to stand summer heat, drought and competition of weeds. If 
summer seeding is necessary, spread a thin layer of straw to 
protect the tender seedlings from the blistering sun, and water 
frequently. 
_NEW LAWNS. A well prepared but firm seed bed is most 
important. See that it iswell drained, both surface and subsoil. 
Poor drainage often causes lawn failures. Break the ground and 
pulverize it thoroughly 4 to 6 inches deep. This brings some 
need seeds to the surface, which quickly germinate, and may be 
killed by repeated raking every several days before seeding the 
grass, or by a heavy application of 2-4-D several days after 
seeding the grass, but before it comes up. 
LIME. Most fine grasses require lime, It also helps soils in 
the same way as soil conditioners, but not to the same extent. 
Dig in 50 lbs. of our HYDRATED LIME per 1,000 sq. ft. of new 
lawn, or spread over 2,000 sq. ft. of old lawn, It may be applied 
with Krilium, but avoid mixing it directly with fertilizer or seed. 
Dig it in when breaking the soil for a new lawn. It is best to 
water thoroughly, then wait for the soil to dry before applying 
fertilizer and seed. 
FERTILIZER. A day or two before seeding apply 5 Ibs. per 
100 sq. ft. of organie plant food, like Milorganite or Sheep 
Manmre, and 5 Ibs. of fertilizer, like Vigoro or Wood's Special 
All Crop Fertilizer. Work it into the top 3 inches of soil. Each 
spring and fall top dress the lawn again. Fertilize when the 
lawn is dry. then water thoroughly. 
SEEDING may be done the day lime and fertilizer are ap- 
plied if they are worked in separately. Broadcast seed evenly, 
half one way, helf the other, 1 lb. to 200 sq. ft. Use a Cyclone 
Seed Sower, $4.50, postpaid. Cover lightly with a rake or drag. 
Roll firm. Keep moist with a fine spray until seed comes up, 
Pull out weeds. 
RESEED every fall and spring, 1 lb. to 4c0 sq. ft. Cut close, 
rake, broadcast the seed, heaviest on bare spots, then rake again 
or drag, and water. If the soil has packed hard. or has hard 
spots, treat with SOILOAM before reseeding; dilute 1 gal. with 
about 20 gallons of water and spray on 250 to 1,000 square feet. 
CUT regularly when 2 to 3 inches high. Raise the mower blade 
to leave grass taller in late fall, hot summer and June, when 
crab grass sprouts. Don’t remove clippings unless long and 
heavy. They add valuable mulch and fertility. Keep mower 
sharp. Dull mowers injure grass. Power mowers cut smoother,

WHAT TO SOW. No one grass variety grows in all seasons, 
climates, soils, etc. Permanent year-round lawns need a mixture 
of many grasses. Wood’s Lawn Grass Mixtures are based on 4 
generations of experience and study of lawn problems. They 
contain only the finest quality seeds, producing velvety lawns that 
last many years. Their true value is far greater than mixtures 
cheapened with worthless ingredients like timothy. 
Under trees and in shade use Wood’s Shady Park Lawn Grass. 
On open lawns in the Southern Coastal area and _on sandy soils 
sow Wood’s Dixie Lawn Grass. Elsewhere use Wood’s Super-Green 
where particular care can be given; Wood’s Evergreen is best for 
average conditions; Emerald Park for moderate cost lawns, parks, 
etc.; Mayfair is best for lowest cost permanent lawns and to 
_renovate established lawns for green growth all winter. In the 
‘Fall sow Wood’s Winter-Green on summer lawns.

year-round beautiful green lawn. Wood’s Dixie Lawn Grass is

pounds of Wood’s Winter-Green Lawn Grass per 100° square feet * 
and again run the mower over the lawn. The result will be a
