OUR MIXTURES ARB MADE UP WITH THE EXTRA CLEANED 
SEED OF THE FTNEST QUALITY. 
In the formation of a lawn the first and most important matter i.s that of having 
good drainage. If the sub-sod be sandy or gravelly the water will pass off quickly, 
but should the sub-soil be heavy and wet, drains should be made from eight to ten 
feet apart. All levels must be carefully determined in the beginning of this work, so 
that alterations afterward maybe avoided. Altergrading and getting the lot in good 
shape remove about four or six inches of the old sod ; reiilace this by a good top dress- 
ing of rich loam ; the whole should then be well harrowed and rolled, all sticks roots 
and stones be removed, so that a smooth surface may be obtained. For small plots, 
digging, trenching and rakin>; may be done instead of plowinir, sub-st>iling and har- 
rowing. The seed may be sown in April. Seed c;!n also be sown in September with 
f ood results. The principal management after this consists in mowing, weeding, etc.; 
he newlv-made lawn must be kept clear of weeds, thistles, docks, etc., until the sod 
thickens; these should be retapved with a knife ; cut the root just below the surface; 
the crown being once cut out "they will not appear again. Mowing should be done 
every week or two during the summer; this will greatly add to the quick formation 
of a fine, soft, thick sward of grass and constant verdure throughout the season.
