*HOW TO MAKE A LAWN: 
GOOD lawn is not a difficult thing to produce if you follow a simple but definite pro- 
cedure. Apply the three specific fundamentals and you cannot go wrong: 
First, provide a fertile soil that is well supplied with plant food and is well drained. 
Second, buy the best seed. Cheap, low quality seed will never grow a good lawn. 
Third, give the lawn proper care once it is established. 
The ground should be plowed or spaded to a depth of at least 6 inches, removing all 
stones and foreign matter which might prevent thorough pulverizing of the soil. Unless 
you are sure that the plot is well fortified with plant food, it is advisable at this point to 
fertilize with wood ashes, bonemeal, sheep manure or mix in well-rotted composted matter. 
After raking in well, a good rolling will aid in determining if there are any soft spots that 
might settle later on. After rolling, the ground should be raked again and any low spots 
filled in. Then sow Page’s Lawn Mixtures (on back cover) at the rate of one pound to every 
150 square feet. Rake it again, then roll well, to pack the ground firmly. As soon as the 
grass is about 3 inches tall, cut with a sharp lawn-mower. A dull mower pulls the young 
grass out by the roots. Regular cutting from the start stimulates additional activity of the 
roots. Never allow the grass to become too tall; neither should it be chopped too short. A 
lawn height of 114 inches after mowing is ideal for continued good growth.
