Il8 HORTICULTURE BY IRRIGATION. 



The blue grass will take complete possession of the ground after it is 

 thoroughly established, and with proper attention will last a long time. 

 Cut after growth is a few inches high, and afterwards trim and water 

 twice a week. Never let the ground bake, if possible to avoid it, when 

 the grass is just coming up. At this time constant moisture is needed. 

 It is better to mow often, and let the clippings remain on the lawn 

 instead of raking them off. In this way they act as a fertilizer. The last 

 cutting of the season may be permitted to grow sufficiently rank so that 

 it will cover the lawn well, and thus avoid the necessity of covering with 

 coarse manure, which is unsightly and often offensive.
