Prepare Soil Well 
Spade or plow soil 8 inches deep. Remove rocks, roots and litter. Where shady, there is frequently moss, show- 
ing 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 fork before applying fertilizers. Apply 100 lbs. of Sheep Manure and 25 lbs. of 5-10-10 Vertagreen to each 
1000 sq. ft. (50x20). Rake in thoroughly, mixing 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 17. 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 thor- 
oughly. Do not cover over one-fourth inch. 
Lawn Maintenance 
Always keep newly seeded lawns well watered to insure good germination and quick rooting. Make first mow- 
ing when grass is 2 inches high setting mower to cut at 2 inches. Feed lawns in March and September with 
Sheep Manure 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. i
