PREPARATION AND CARE OF LAWNS 



The ground should be thoroughly drained and well enriched before sowing. Work the soil until well pulverized, 

 and have the surface as level as possible, so that the grass may present an even appearance. After sowing, cover seed 

 lightly and follow with roller. The best results are obtained by using plenty of seed — four bushels to the acre being 

 about the right quantity. One quart is sufficient for 300 sqare feet. Let the grass obtain a good start before cutting, 

 and then it should be trimmed with a lawn mower about every ten days. Old Lawxs may be improved and renewed 

 by the application of fertilizers and seeding about haif the quantity of seed required for new lawns.
