Late August or September is the
best season to give lawn grass a
" lift." After the hard summer sea­
son. some refreshments In the way
of fertilizer, and possibly lime, is
called for. Thin stands of grass are
particularly in need of help. If your
lawn has not been limed In the last
few years, it is suggested that you
apply 50 to 75 pounds of ground
limestone per 1,000 square feet.
This w ill sweeten the soil and make
It possible for the grasses to respond
better to fertilizer treatment.
The addition of 10 to 20 pounds of
fertilizer per 1,000 square feet of
lawn w ill do wonders. Fertilizers
such as 5-10-5, 4-12-8 x)r those of
sim ilar ratios are well adapted for
thickening lawn grasses. Uniform
distribution can be obtained by
spreading the material in two di­
rections. Measure out half of the fer­
tilizer needed for the lawn and
spread it in a north-south direction.
Then spread the other half in an
east-west direction, and there should
be little difficulty in getting even
coverage.
Lawns given a tonic in the manner
described soon w ill assume a good
healthy color and develop a dense
stand of grass. Lawns composed of
dense turf w ill resist invasion by un­
desirable weeds such as crabgrass,
buckhorn and dandelion.
