 a rich, green, 

 by maiir 25c. 



PREPARATION AND CARE OF LAWNS 



THE ground should be thoroughly drained and well enriched before sow- 

 ing. Worli 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 siifhcient 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 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.
