Lawn G rass 3e©d 



THE ground should be thoroughly drained and well enriched before 

 sowing. Work the soil until well pulverized, and have the surface as 

 smooth 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 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 re- 

 newed by the application of fertilizers and seeding about half the quantity 

 of seed required for new lawns. This should be done whenever they show 

 any thin places.

SHADY NOOK GRASS 



On nearly all lawns there are bare spots under the shade of trees. With this mixture the above can be easily corrected. It is a 

 combination of grasses which are found growing in the woods in their natural state. Ground that has been densely shaded by trees is 

 frequently "sour" and is apt to be covered with moss. In such cases apply slacked lime at the rate of one bushel per thousand square 

 feet, but the moss should be first removed with a rake. Price: Jet)., 50c. 5 lbs., $2.50. Bu. of 20 lbs., $900. Add 8c. per lb. for 



postage.

 spreading roots, thus preventing heavy rains from washing them out : that will withstand drought and exposure, thrive on shallow soils, 

 and at the same time will produce a rich, velvety green turf throughout the season. Qt., 60c. Peck, $2.50. Bushel of 20 lbs., $10.00. 



WHITE DUTCH CLOVER (Trifolium Repens) 



The best variety for lawns, as it forms a close herbage and remains green throughout the season. It is also valuable when mixed
