THE PREPARATION AND CARE OF A LAWN. 



A good lawn is one of the most pleasing features of a rural home, and success in its formation depends much on the preparation 

 of the ground. This should be done by draining' i( necessary and digging or plowing to the depth of 6 to 12 inches according to the nature of the 

 soil, applying at the same time a liberal quantity of well decomposed manure, lione dust or Elliott's In vigorine. We recommend the latter 

 as being more lasting in its effects, not liable to burn the grass, and free from weeds. Before sowing the seed the ground should be thoroughly 

 cleaned and made perfectly level, and as the subsequent appearance of the lawn depends in a great measure on this part of the preparation, it is 

 of the utmost importance that it should be well done. The ground should be evenly raked, and the seed sown. April and September are the best 

 months for sowing. The seed should be sown on a calm day, at the rate of four or five bushels to the acre. One quart is sufficient to sow an area 

 of 15x20, or 300 square feet. 



After sowing has been accomplished, the ground should be again rolled, and as soon as the young plants have attained the height of 2 or 

 3 inches, the whole plot should be carefully gone over with a sharp scythe, and from the months of April to October it should be mown every ten 

 days. Mowing machines are excellent after a comparatively close turf is established ; but for the first six months after sowing, the scythe should 

 be used in preference to the machine. Frequent mowing and rolling are indispensable to maintain the turf in good order. By adapting these 

 means a close green sward will be obtained in a short time. i 



The Best Lawn Fertilizer is Elliott's Invigorine.
