1 ' ! ; I WHAT IS r i HOME f ij / A Spring Seeding, Rolling an I Fertilizing

Although spring seeding of lawns is not as desirable as fall seeding, there are many times when it is I necessary. Fo. instance, thin, bare spots that are the results of a severe winter should be fertilized iand reseeded, otherwise such spots | become ideal weed haunts. Much .oi the white clover in a lawn will [usually be killed during a severe . winter, which means that with its I going many spots will need resowling. • Early reseeding is preferable for best results, and is most advantageously done when the ground is honeycombed. Anyone who grew up on a farm will be quite familiar with this term. The subsequent freezing and thawing tends to covler the seed so when warm weather comes it is ideally qualified to germinate. Any fertilizing that is to be done should be delayed until the frost is ;out of the ground. Otherwise some of the benefits are no doubt lost. iAiso, the tendency is to apply too

Although the irregularities of I weather conditions make it difficult , to specify dates for seeding, a rough ! estimate would be as follows —bel tween he first or middle of Febru- , ary and the middle of March. By , April the season is usually far ’ enough advanced so that the spring I crop of weeds makes it more diffi- . cult for the new grass to become established. About April 1 is a , good time to apply fertilizers, for . the plentiful rains will carry the . plant food down in o the soil, giving the grass roots their needed supply. It is possible to roll a lawn much • too early for its own good so wait until the ground is fairly well dried ■ out before yon give it the first rolli ing. Several light rollings at week ■ ly or bi-weekly intervals are much . Let er for the lawn than a too i heavy rolling.
