SCARLETT’S QUALITY SEED 
AUTUMN-MADE LAWNS ARE BEST 
Late summer and fall are also the most favorable periods for renovating. Seed sown from 
August 15 to October 15 invariably grows well; thicker turf develops quickly under the influence 
of autumn rains and cool nights. You will have fewer weeds and a deeper root system. Dormant 
——_ 
seeding after November 15 also gives good results.

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 
E I ou 3 
Ibs. 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 existing 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 Ib. 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 appli- 
cations 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.
