MOWING, ROLLING, AND WATERING 55 

 THE RIGHT WAY TO WATER 



When watering is necessary let it be done by 

 laying the hose on the ground and allowing 

 the water to flow freely from it in one spot 

 for about an hour. Then move the end of 

 the hose to another spot, thus watering the 

 lawn in sections, the edges of which will just 

 overlap. This can be carried on all day long, 

 and at night too, for that matter. There is 

 no reason whatever why the lawn should not 

 be watered in the day time, sunshine not- 

 withstanding. Even though it did result in 

 burning in a few instances through the drops 

 of water focusing the rays of the sun on to the 

 leaves, the damage done will not be any 

 more noticeable than is the browning of the 

 cut edges which results from the use of the 

 lawn mower.
