Celebrated from Florida to Maine for Its 
DIRECTIONS FOR SEEDING A LAWN. 
Grass is Nature’s Carpet, and when a lawn is composed of suitable grasses, compactly covering 
the entire surface, it becomes a surpassing pleasure and ornamentation. The eye never tires of the 
delicate evergreen so restful to the sigbt. Lawns should’ be sown with biended grasses, which will 
hold their green through the hot, dry summer, and not lose color during the “freezes” of winter. A 
first-class lawn will continue indefinitely its beautiful, velvet surface, and can be kept in perennial 
freshness by an annualtop dressing of fertilizer or manure. A level surface is preferred for lawns 
to avoid washes at the time of severe freshets, but a gentle incline may be desirable, and is certainly 
beautiful. Springtime and autumn are the favorite seasons for making lawns, but any time from 
early spring to fall will do, uniess a severe protracted drought prevails. Spade deeply, make the 
ground fine, smooth and mellow; then rake the soil and sow “the seed. If a rain occurs simultane- 
ously with the seed sowing, it will cover the seed enough; but if dry, the soil should be pressed 
with the back of a spade or rolled with a light roller. A suitable fertilizer should be incorporated 
with the soil when the lawn is being prepar red, and bone is preferred because its fertilizing quality 
is gradually imparted to the soil, and its effect is lasting. A top dressing at any time imparts new 
thrift to thesod. Be careful to sow the seed regularly and evenly over the entire sur face, otherwise 
bare spaces will disfigure the lawn. But when “this happens rake over the bare places and sow seed 
there. Be liberal in the use of seed when making a lawn, for if done rightly a young, healthy, 
beautiful, velvet green sod will soon delight the eye and reward all labor and expense. 
One pound Bolgiano’s Lawn Grass, cleaned of chaff will go as four quarts grass seed sold by 
the measure. Add 7 cents per pound on Lawn Grass if to go by. mail.
