TURF. A term applied to grass sods which are 
laid over the surface of ground to form lawns, edgings, 
verges, &c. Laying or cutting out flower-beds in Turf 
is a familiar operation. Turf is also cut from fields, 
and stacked in heaps for decomposing and forming 
loam, which is in daily request for potting and various 
other purposes. When used for forming new lawns, &c., 
that are to be kept mowed, it is most important that the 
| Turf should be as free as possible from weeds, such as 
Daisies, Plantains, and the like. Pasture land which has 
long been laid down, and the grass closely eaten off by 
sheep or deer, is generally the best, as, provided the soil is 
fairly good, the more grazing or cutting is practised, the 
| more dense does the Turf become at the root, and this 
| is, of course, most favourable to the quick formation of 
a new lawn. The ground should be first prepared, made 
thoroaghly firm by treading, and raked fine, before the 
is laid. Autumn, and any favourable weather _ 
during winter and early spring, are best suited for the — 
work. A handy size for cutting Turfs, when they are 
sufficiently tough for rollinz, is 3ft. long by 1ft. wide; 
they are best cut with a turfing-iron, or, what is worked 
in a similar way, a turf-plongh. Small squares (about

petiolules 2in. long. ~=
