LAWN-MAKING 



The essentials for a fine Lawn are: First, a rich, well-drained soil; Second, careful prepara- 

 tion of the ground, making it as fine and smooth and mellow as possible; Third, a wise selection of 

 seeds; Fourth, sowing at such a time as to give the young plants a chance to become well-estab- 

 lished before being subjected to very dry or cold weather or to the direct rays of the hot summer 

 sun. However much care is bestowed on the soil and seed, no lawn will be beautiful without fre- 

 quent mowing and rolling. Too much care cannot be exercised upon the selection of grasses, as 

 some varieties are most luxuriant in spring, others in summer, others again in autumn, and a com- 

 bination of the proper sorts is required for a perfect carpet-like lawn. I have given much thought 

 to this question and made many experiments to secure the best selection. I think my White 

 House Mixture is the best possible for permanent lawns. It may be planted earh- in spring or fall 

 and should be sown at the rate of 70 to 100 lbs. per acre; much more is required than for hay or 



pasturage. If sown in the spring, sow as early as possible, making the surface very fine and 

 smooth, then raking it over and sowing the seed just before a rain, which, if the surface has just 

 been raked, will cover the seed sufficiently. If the expected rain does not come, cover by rolling 

 with a light roller. For fall seeding, sow before the fall rains and early enough to enable the 

 young grass to become well established before very cold weather, when a light dressing of Schultz's 

 Lawn Enricher or Pure Bone ]\Ieal should be given. One quart of White House ^Mixture is 

 sufficient to sow 300 square feet. 



SHADY_ PLACE MIXTURE. On nearly all_ lawns there are shaded, bare and unsightly 

 spots on which the owners have difficulty in getting a stand of grass; for such places this mix- 

 ture is adapted. Prices: Qt.. 30c.; 2 qts.. 50c.; ^ pk., $1.00; i peck, $1.50; bushel of 14 lbs., $3.75-

LAWN ROLLERS 



THE USE OF A ROLLER ON LAWNS. 



The benefit derived from using a roller on the lawn, espec- 

 ially in the spring, is not fully understood. The action of 

 freezing and thawing causes the ground to heave, and if the 

 sod is not firmly pressed back with a roller before hot 

 weather, the grass is apt to be killed or injured, leaving 

 the lawn full of bare spots.
