A VELVET-GREEN CARPET OF GRASS is just as beautiful as that carpet indoors 
TO HAVE A GOOD LAWN. Prepare the soil well, work it up as fine as possible, then scatter over and rake in your fertilizer. 
Now sow the seed, beginning at one end and work back, raking the soil fine and even just before sowing the seed. Do not rake after 
sowing, but press the seed lightly into the soil by rolling or tamping. 
Sow the seed very evenly and plenty of it. 
DRYING OUT IS FATAL. Keep the newly sown lawn moderately moist by light, mist-like sprinkling or by covering with cloth 
or burlap until the grass is through the soil. Allowing it to dry out, just when the seed has started to germinate, is fatal to the seed, 
and it cannot germinate a second time; it must be re-sown. Avoid too severe watering which packs the soil. 
FOR NEW LAWNS SOW 1 pound to each 100 square feet, that is, 10 feet long and 10 feet wide. (For renewing old lawns 
sow half this quantity.) Sow 200 pounds to the acre.
