Few  people  realize  that  early  A u t u mn  is  the  ideal  time 
for  seeding  lawns.  T he  cool,  moist  weather   of  A u g u s t, 
September  and  O c t o b er   stimulates  the  healthy  growth 
of  new  seedlings.   T he  following  summer  finds  the  grass 
plants  sufficiently  matured  and  well  established   to  con-
tend  with  the  hot,  dry  weather  and  peshy  weeds.  T  hese 
benefits  have  been  determined   by  test  plantings  at  the 
United  States  Experiment   Stations  as  well  as  practical 
plantings  by  home  owners  seeking  more  beautiful   turf. 

G r e a t er  D r o u th  Resistance 

Fall  seeded   grass  develops   deeper  roots,   enabling  it  to 
draw  on  a  larger  volume  of  soil  for  water.  W h en  hot 
weather  arrives,   these  roots   are  firmly  established. 

T h i c k er  G r a ss 

C o ol  autumn  evenings   encourage  grass  to  tiller   or  stool 
out,  thereby   forming  thick,  spreading   sod  with  a  long 
healthy  blade  growth. 

F e w er  W^eeds 

Fall  seeded   grass  has  about  4  months  growth  before  lawn 
weeds  start  in  M ay  or  June.  Consequently,
  it  can  better 
compete  with  such  objectionable   weeds  as  Dandelions, 
Plantain  or  Crabgrass. 

M o re  U n i f o rm  G r o w th 

Fall  rains  are  slow.  T h ey  do  not  wash  the  dirt  away 
and  are  favorable   to  a  higher  germination.  Fewer  bare 
spots  remain  to  mar  the  lawn.
