One of the grealest essentials of the country place and suburban home is a properly-made and well-kepi lawn Wo 
have made careful study of the grasses required for best results and the formulas of our various Grass Mi.xlui'cs are 
based upon these experiments The combination of varieties of grasses used is the best for quickly producing permanent

To Make a Handsome Lawn.— The ground must be well dug, raked and leveled, and where the soil is composed 
mostly of sand and gravel, a top dressing of about four inches of black soil should be applied, and every semblance of 
weed roots removed. If rich soil cannot be secured, well decomposed stable manure or a good fertilizer may be used. 
After the seed is sown, which should be done on a calm, dry day, rake the seed in and roll well, or in the absence of a 
roller pat the ground well with the back of a spade or shovel. Much of the fine appearance of a lawn depends upon 
the regularity in mowing. If not closely mown the stronger grasses will overgrow the weaker, thus rendering the whole 
patchy and unsightly l>'or forming new lawns, not less than sixty to one hundred pounds of seed are required per acre, 
and for (he renovation of old ones, half that quantity will give good results.

eties for the reason that each variety is at its best during a certain part of the season. Bv properly choosing earlv, 
medium and late grasses, a smooth, even, green lawn is assured from earlv spring to late autumn.
