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 lightly 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 

 lawn-mower about every ten days. Old lawns may be improved and re- 

 newed 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.
