 home more than a well kept, closely cut, velvety 



Park Lawn Grass.

 i cents. By mail, 40 cents lb.; 4 lbs. for $1.00; 100 lbs.

PREPARATION AND 



The ground should be thoroughly drained and 

 well enriched before sowing. Work the soil until 

 well pulverized, and have the surface as level as 

 possible, so that the grass may present an even ap- 

 pearance. After sowing, cover seed lightly and fol- 

 low with roller. The best results are obtained by 

 using plenty of seed— four bushel.^ to the acre being 

 about the right quantity. One quart is suflacient for 

 300 square feet. Let the grass obtain a good start 



CARE OF LAWNS. 



before cutting, and then it should be trimmed with 

 a lawn mower about every ten days. Old Lawns 

 may be improved and renewed by the application of 

 fertilizers and seeding about half the quantity of 

 seed required for new lawns. This should be done 

 whenever they show any thin places. 



Our Lawn Grass should not be confounded with 

 the cheap, chaffy grasses offered at less prices.
