THE I^Wn 



PREPARATION AND CARE OF LAWNS. 



THE gromid 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 result.s 

 are obtained by using plenty of seed, 4 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 10 days. Old lawns may be improved and renewed 

 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.
