MAKING AND CARE OF THE LAWN 



sward is composed. Every lawn should be 

 treated to a good top-dressing of lawn fertilizer 

 in spring and again in August. These two 

 applications of fertilizer will keep the grass in 

 good health and make it vigorous and luxuriant 

 year after year. In these days of scientifically 

 prepared fertilizers it is an easy matter to pro- 

 cure one especially adapted to the requirements 

 of the lawn at a cost but slightly exceeding 

 that of ordinary barn-yard manure to those liv- 

 ing in city or village. This fertilizer is com- 

 posed of various elements of plant-growth so 

 proportioned that most satisfactory results are 

 sure to follow its use.
