Haue a Louely Lawn with NOOD’S GRASS SEED 
1 LB. SOWS 10 X 20 FT. OF NEW LAWN; OR RESEED 20 X 20 FT. 
HOW TO GROW A LAWN 
It is best to seed lawns in the early Spring or Fall 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. 
A well prepared but firm seed bed is most important. Dig the ground 
4 to 6 inches deep when it is not wet. Remove stones and roots. Pulverize 
it thoroughly, mixing in a permanent soil conditioner like Krilium (page 67) 
or Peat Moss to keep the soil from packing so roots and rain can penetrate 
and moisture held during droughts. Compost or organic plant foods may 
be used for this, 5 to 10 lbs. per 100 sq. ft. (10 x 10 ft.) of Milorganite, 
Wood’s High Grade Sheep or Cow Manure, or Farmanure (a mixture of 
peat moss, cow and sheep manure. Also dig in 5 lbs. Hydrated Lime. 
Also work into the top 3 inches of soil 5 lbs. per 100 sq. ft. of a well 
balanced fertilizer like Wood’s Special All Crop 5-10-5, or Vigoro to furnish 
the mineral plant food necessary for healthy growth of grass, shrubs and 
trees feeding on the soil. Avoid mixing lime directly with fertilizer. Rake 
smooth. Broadcast seed evenly, half one way, half the other, 1 Ib. to 200 
sq. ft. Use a Cyclone Seed Sower (page 68). Cover lightly with a rake or 
drag. Roll firm or pat with the back of a shovel so the tender seedlings 
can take hold quickly. Keep moist with a fine spray until seed comes up. 
Digging brings buried weed seeds to the surface which come up quickly. 
Pull out or kill with Weedone (page 66). 
Each spring or fall lime, fertilize and reseed with half the above 
amounts. Cut close, rake, broadcast fertilizer and seed, heaviest on bare 
spots, rake again or drag, then water thoroughly. It is best to fertilize, 
water, then wait a day or two before seeding. Then sprinkle lightly. 
Cut regularly when 2 to 3 inches high. Do not cut shorter than one 
inch. Raise the mower blade to leave grass taller in late fall, hot summer 
and in June when crab grass sprouts. Don’t remove clippings unless long 
and heavy. They add valuable mulch and fertility. Keep mower sharp. 
Power mowers cut smoother. Write for circular on Moto-Mowers, $100 up. 
WOOD’S SHADY PARK LAWN GRASS

especially adapted to shade under trees and around the house, that form 
a fine soft lawn including Chewing’s and Creeping Red Fescue, Highland 
Bent, Poa Trivialis, Kentucky Blue, Red Top and White Clover. Under 
trees sow thicker and apply twice as much fertilizer and water. 
WOOD’S EMERALD PARK LAWN GRASS

wide adaptation to soil and climate, except in the deep south, for perma- 
nent year round home lawns, large areas, parks, athletic fields, etc. It has

tains Perennial and Domestic Ryegrass to quickly establish new lawns and

SELECTING THE SEED 
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. Most of them contain White Dutch Clover which enriches the 
soil with nitrogen, keeping the grasses vigorously green. They do not 
contain crab grass or noxious weeds. 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 coarse grasses like 
Timothy that form unsightly tufts. It is false economy to buy cheap 
lawn seed of low quality. It costs less per pound but requires twice as 
many pounds per square foot. The resulting lawn is unsightly, full of 
weeds, will not stand close cutting, soon dies and must be replanted. 
In the Southern Coastal Area from Norfolk to Miami, sow Wood’s Dixie 
Lawn Grass on open, sunny, dry or sandy soils, and Wood's Coastal Lawn 
Grass on shady, low, moist or fertile spots, or soils high in humus, 
Elsewhere sow Wood's Shady Park Lawn Grass under trees and in shade; 
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.
