Excerpt from A General Line of Dependable Garden, Field and Flower Seeds for Southern Planters: Spring 1931 Nothing will add more to the surroundings of the home than a beautiful lawn. Don't forget when making a lawn. That it is to last for years, and be an ornament to your home, so take plenty of care and time in preparation of the soil before the seed is sown. Lawns must be well drained. Prepare the soil by plowing or spading eight to ten inches deep. Level and work the surface to remove all clods. Spread about four inches of good black sandy loam on top and work till finely pulverized. Broadcast twenty-five pounds vigoro Lawn and Garden Fertilizer per 1000 square feet, applying one-half in one direction and crossing with the other half. So as to obtain even distribution. Rake well into the top soil and wet down thoroughly. Do not sow the seed until a week after applying the fertilizer, as the germination of the seed may be retarded if it comes in direct contact with the fertilizer.
