 cents. By mail, 35 cents lb.; 5 lbs. for $1.00; 100 lbs. 

 for $20.00. 



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 ap- 

 pearance. After sowing, cover seed lightly and fol- 

 low 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 square 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 

 lawns may be improved and renewed by the appli- 

 cation of fertilizers and seeding about half the 

 quantity of seed required for new lawns. Tnis 

 should be done whenever they show any thin places. 



OUR LAWN GRASS should not be confounded 

 with the cheap, chaffy grasses offered at less prices.
