Early Fall Is Considered The Best Time For Seeding Lawns Outside of the mountains, best re sults are usualy secured by early | fall seeding of lawns, and even in the mountains, especially at cleva-, tions of less than 2,500 feet, better J lawns are secured through the early j fall plantings. This early seeding will allow the grass to become well! established before the winter and \ will give it a good start in the spring on the weeds and undesirable grasses. Use the best seed obtainable and do not stint on the use of this seed. About three pounds for each 1,000 square feet should be used for best results and a good stand.
