Prepare Soil Well 
Spade or plow soil 8 inches deep. Remove rocks, roots and litter. Where shady, there is fre- 
quently moss, showing lack of fertility, acid condition and poor aeration. To correct this apply 
agricultural limestone (200 lbs. per 1000 sq. ft.) Add at least one bale of peat moss per 1000 sq. ft. to 
sandy or clay soils. Work in well with a potato forx before applying fertilizers. Apply 100 lbs. of 
Milorganite and 25 lbs. of 5-10-10 Vertagreen to each 1000 sq. ft. (50x20). Rake in thoroughly, mix- 
ing fertilizer with soil and working the surface smooth and level. Soak ground thoroughly. 
Seeding the Lawn 
Most grasses, except Hulled Bermuda, 
Merion Blue Grass and Rye Grass 
are seeded at the rate of 3-5 lbs. per 
1000 sq. ft. See special seeding rates 
of individual grasses on page 14. 
Broadcast seeds evenly by hand or 
with the use of a seeder. Firm with a 
roller or drag lightly and smoothly 
with the back of rake, and water 
thoroughly. Do not cover over one- 
fourth inch. 
Lawn Maintenance 
Always keep newly seeded lawns 
well watered to insure good germi- 
nation and quick rooting. Make first 
mowing when grass is 2 inches high 
setting mower to cut at 2 inches. 
Feed lawns in March and September 
with Milorganite organic fertilizer, 30 
lbs. per 1000 sq. ft. In dry weather, 
water lawns thoroughly with a rotary 
or oscillating sprinkler, soaking 
ground to a depth of 4 inches or 
more.
