LAWN GRASS SEED 



PREPARATION AND CARE OF LAWNS 



The ground should be thoroughly drained and well enriched before sowing. Work 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 liglitly 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 sufficient for 300 square feet. Let the grass obtain a good start before cutting, and then it should 

 be trimmed with a lawnmower about every ten days. Old lawns may be improved and renewed by the application of fer- 

 tilizers and seeding about half the quantity of seed required for new lawns. This should be done whenever they show any 

 thin places.
