A Beautiful Lawn 



There is nothing which adds more to the external attractiveness of a home than a beautiful lawn. You ma}- have 

 such bN- providing the right conditions. These are: 



First. — A rich, properly prepared soil. If the ground is naturally rich, all that is neces-sar^- is that it be well spaded, 

 making it as fine and mellow as possible. If, as is often the case, it consists of the earth from the excavation for the 

 house, or is hard and hnnp\', it .should first receive a good dressing of manure which should be spaded in, mixing it with 

 the .soil which should be made as fine and free from lumps as po.ssible. It should then stand for a few days and if pos- 

 sible until .fter a good rain, when it should receive a second dressing of manure and be again spaded, making it fine 

 and free fromhnnps to the depth of at least a foot. In .some cases it maj- be necessary to repeat tliis a third and even a 

 fourth time. In any case the surface of the .soil should be made as fine and smooth as possible before sowing the seed. 



Second.— We must have good seed of the right varieties. vSome sorts are the most luxuriant in spring, others in 

 summer and still others in autumn and a wi.se selection of varieties in proper proportions is very important. We have 

 given much thought and made man\- experiments to secure the best selection and think our Central Park Mixture the 

 best po.ssible combination to secure a fine lawn. 



Third.— It is important that the .seed be properly planted. It .should be sown at the rate of from 60 to 100 lbs. to the 

 acre. The more freely the .seed is used the quicker a thick, velvet-like turf may be .secured. One pound of seed is the 

 minimum quantitj- sufficient to sow 600 square feet. It may be sown in earU- spring or in the fall, but if at the latter 

 time it should be early enough to allow the plants to get well started before the ground becomes frozen. The surface 

 having been fre.shly raked, sow the seed as evenU- as possible and rake it in, following if possible with a roller. Having 

 secured a good growth, it should be kept close and velvet-like by repeated cutting, and if necessary, watering.
