PREPARATION AND CARE OF LAWNS 



THE grounrl should bp tboroughlv drained and well enriched before sow- 

 ins Work the soil until well pulverized, and have the surface as 

 smooth as possible, so that the grass mav present an even appearance. 

 .\fter sowing, cover seed lightlv 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 3nO 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 bv the application of fertilizers and seeding about half the quantity 

 of seed required for new lawns. This should be done whenever they show 

 anv thin places.
