Fop a Beautiful I:<awn. 



.a._j 



"The most beautlftd 

 thing that can be placed 

 about a home is a n'ell- 

 kept la\ni. It is the soul 

 of the surroundings of a 

 home. Not only is it one 

 of the most beautiful, but 

 also useful features of the 

 landscape. Grass is the 

 carpet of the earth, and 

 like the carpet of the 

 house it should be used."

CANADIAN BLUE GRASS. 



(Poa Compressa.) The hardiest 

 grass in cultivation, should not be 

 confouDded with the Kentucky Blue 

 i Grass. Canadian Blue Grass shoots 

 its leaves very early. All grazing 

 animals eat it greedily; cows fed on 

 it produce a very rich milk. It is 

 especially relished by sheep. Its 

 bluish-green stems retaifi their color 

 after the seed is ripe. It shrinks less 

 in dr>ing than most other grasses. 

 It is' an excellent grass for dry, 

 sandy, thin soils and banks, and for 

 covering the surface of rocky soils.
