Woods Seeds For Fall Planting 1929 Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from Wood's Seeds for Fall Planting, 1924 Remember when making a lawn that it is to last for years and be an ornament to the home, so give plenty of time and care to preparation before the seeds are sown. Several weeks before sowing dig the soil deeply, break up the lumps, apply Sheep Manure or Lawn Fertilizer, and rake the top $011; at inter vals of ten days or two weeks rake the surface to destroy the weeds and before sowing have the surface as fine as a rake will make it. Sow half the seeds, then sow the other half at right angles to the first sowing - this gives an even distribution. After sowing, rake lightly so as not to cover the seeds too deep - covering with a roller is better - small seeds cannot germinate if planted too deep; an eighth of an inch is about right. Do not put stable manure on your lawn, as it adds to the many weeds already in the soil, and if not well broken up the lumps of manure will smother the young grass.
