A Beautiful Lawn 
There is nothing which adds more to the external attractiveness of a home than a beautiful lawn. You may have 
such by providing the right conditions. These are: 
First.—A rich, properly prepared soil. If the ground is naturally rich, all that is necessary 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 lumpy, it should first receive a good dressing of manure which should be spaded in, mixing it with 
thé soil which should be made as fine and free from lumps as possible. It should then stand for a few days and if pos- 
sible until after a good rain, when it should receive a second dressing of manure and be again spaded, making it fine 
and free from lumps to the depth of at least a foot. In some cases it may be necessary to repeat this a third and evena 
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. Some sorts are the most luxuriant in spring, others in 
summer and still others in autumn and a wise selection of varieties in proper proportions is very important. We have 
given much thought and made many experiments to secure the best selection and think our Central Park Mixture the 
best possible 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 roo 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 quantity sufficient to sow 600 square feet. It may be sown in early 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 freshly raked, sow the seed as evenly 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.
