How to manage a Garden 



completely destroying them without leaving on the lawn 

 any unpleasant reminder. When the lawn is almost 

 wholly covered with undesirable weeds, it is far better to 

 take off the turf and remake the lawn entirely, or such 

 part of it as is thus infested. With a new lawn there is 

 every possibility for a painstaking owner to keep it clean, 

 if he will only be watchful to keep the grass in good 

 growth and destroy weeds at first appearance. 



Diagrams are here given showing the method of making 

 a lawn for tennis and for croquet, and it is even more 

 important in these cases to have the lawn in an ideally 

 even condition, and free from moss and other weeds. 

 (Figs. 46 and 47.) 



A word of advice on the subject of lawn mowers may 

 not be out of place. Avoid cheap makes, they are always 

 dear in the end; get one by a good maker, and with fair 

 usage and proper attention it will last indefinitely. My 

 own experience is that for durability and effective work 

 Ransome's lawn mowers cannot be beaten.
