GENERAL INFORMATION 
Following is a list of materials and procedures to be 
used in new lawn construction, new planting operations & 
maintenance of both throughout the year. This information 
must be considered as a guide to be followed under normal 
conditions only, since certain situations will require spec- 
ial consideration. 
NEW LAWN CONSTUCTION: 
* TOPSOIL - Minimum depth - 4” - 12% cu. yd. per 1,000 
sq. ft. Best results with 6” - 20 cu. yd. per 1,000 sq. ft. 
MUSHROOM MANURE - 2 cu. yds. per 1,000 sq. ft. 
Mix into 4 in. of topsoil. 
* 
* AGRICULTURAL LIME - 60 lb. per 1,000 sq. ft. Mix 
into top 4 in. of topsoil. 
* FERTILIZER - Use either Groweli or Turf Builder. 
* LEAD ARSENATE - Apply with the Fertilizer at rate 
of 10 lbs. per 1,000 sq. ft. 
* GRASS SEED - In full sun, use O. M. Scott’s Regular 
at rate of 5 lbs. per 1,000 sq. ft.; in shaded areas, use O. 
M. Scott’s Special mix at same rate as above. 
* Do not distribute seed on the same day that fertilizer 
is applied. 
LAWN MAINTENANCE: 
2 net your lawn mower to cut grass at least 1% to 2 in. 
ong. 
Before mowing, rake off the leaves as they cut down 
light, water and air from the grass.

Always weed before mowing. Dandelions develop stron- 
ger root systems after having their tops cut off. _ 
* Apply complete fertilizer in early Spring & early Fall. 
* Use Soil Testing Kit to determine lime requirements. 
* Top-dress lawn in late Fall with 4” of Mushroom Man- 
ure to build up organic content of soil. One cubic yard 
will cover 1296 sq. ft. to a depth of 14”’. 
Water lawns to a depth of at least three inches during 
dry season or do not water at all. 
Control Crab Grass by use of Scutl; applications start- 
ing in July.
