FINE SEED FOR FINE LAWNS 
No one thing does more to give a house 
the appearance of a home than a fine lawn. 
Other landscaping will help, but a smooth, 
bright attractive lawn is basic. 
Cost is low when you consider that a lawn 
once properly planted and given reasonable 
care is an investment that will last for years 
and years. 
It will save you money to prepare your 
seed bed thoroughly before sowing seed. 
New lawns should be thoroughly worked, 
leveled, watered heavily to show up any 
uneven settling; and then leveled once more. 
The more care before sowing the seed the 
better the results. Otherwise seed will wash 
to the low spots and make your lawn 
spotted. 
Sow part the seed one way and then some 
more crosswise, so as to avoid streaks. Rake 
well before and after sowing. Water gently 
so often that soil never dries out until lawn 
is green. 
Very important not to let soil dry out just 
as seed is sprouting. At this stage, seed is 
very delicate and will die if allowed to be- 
come dry. 
White Dutch Clover germinates quickly 
and is valuable for giving quick results and 
for shading and protecting the slower grow- 
ing Kentucky Blue grass. 
Please note. In average conditions, clover 
seed will sprout within a week or sooner, 
but blue grass may take as long as three 
weeks. Do not relax your watering program 
as soon as clover gives the lawn a green 
appearance. You may let the blue grass die 
if you do. Keep moist until blue grass is well 
started. Then increase intervals between 
watering until eventually lawn is given a 
thorough soaking with several days skip 
until next watering. This will keep moisture 
down deep and make for deep-rooted turf 
more resistant to hot, dry spells. 
Kentucky Blue Grass, the basic seed for 
all lawns, is again in short supply this year 
because of a small harvest. We may not have 
enough to meet the demand, so suggest or- 
dering early lest you be disappointed. 
In addition to regular blue grass, we have 
available that new, widely publicized strain, 
Merion Blue Grass. Cost per pound is higher, 
but will cover over twice the area of ordinary 
blue grass, so on basis of results is com- 
parable price-wise.
