 ance. In preparing the ground for seeding, break it 10 to 12 inches deep with plow or spade and pulverize thoroughly. The surface should 

 be raked perfectly level to prevent the formation of pools after heavy rainfalls. Sow the seed carefully and evenly at the rate of one quart to 

 a space equal to 15x20 feet ; two bushels will sow one acre. After sowing, cover the seed by raking or harrowing it. Rolling is also in gen- 

 eral practice. Seeding may be done at any time during spring, summer or fall, but the best results are obtained by sowing during April 

 May, September or October. Where fall sowing is practiced, a top dressing of manure is recommended to protect the roots of the y^ung grasg 

 during the winter. Price: By mail, 45c per lb.; in bulk, by express at purchaser's expense, 35c per lb.
