A Beautiful Lawn 



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

 such bj' 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 

 the 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 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. 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 f fom 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 will be 

 sufficient for 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

1^% Dwarf Essex, for Sowing. There is but one variety of Rape that has proven profitable to sow in America,

 *^**j'^^ cost as this and its general cultivation would add largely to the profits of American farms. Especially 

 valuable for green manuring and pasture. When fed off by sheep, it will probably do more to restore and make 

 profitable exhausted soils than any other plant. Biennial.
