LAWN-MOWER, ROLLER, AND 

 HOSE 



A FTER you have your ground made, 



your seed sown and germinated, 



your trouble is not all over, for it is a 



critical period through which to carry 



the tender grass to a hardy condition. 



Young grass should not be cut before 

 it is three inches high, and this means that 

 a scythe should be used in preference to 

 a lawn-mower, as it is difficult to get the 

 blades high enough to allow this length. 

 In cutting for the first time, try to do it 

 on a cloudy day, as this will prevent any 

 possibility of scorching or burning. After 

 a few weeks the grass will have so tough- 

 ened that it will be benefited by frequent 

 cuttings evpn twice a week.
