A MESSAGE FROM OUR SEED STORE ..... BUILDING A LAWN 
In preparing soil, it should be dug about 6 inches deep, harrowed, or 
pulverized with rototiller and graded smoothly. If this is not practical, 
have the ground spaded thoroughly and leveled and raked perfectly smooth. 
If soil is poor it pays to add humus soil. Even with rich soil it is neces- 
sary to add a commercial fertilizer. To feed the grass, use Malmo 
Organic Fertilizer at the rate of 100 pounds to each 1500 square feet. 
Work this natural plant food well into the soil and rake in smoothly. 
Broadcast the seed at the rate of 1 pound to each 200 square,feet. Cover 
seed by scattering 1/4 to 1/2 inch of peat moss and then roll. While seed 
is germinating and the grass is young, care should be used, especially in 
dry weather, to see that the ground is kept moist. Watch it closely and 
sprinkle when necessary, sometimes as often as three times a day.
