To ensure a Fine Lawn, free from weeds and coarse grasses, it is most important that the soil to be sown 
should be quite clean, that is, free from the seeds of objectionable plants, and the grass seeds used should consist 
solely of the fine-leaved dwarf-growing grasses. In sowing Grass Seeds always take advantage of rainy or 
damp weather, and after sowing, give a slight covering of clean finely-riddled soil ; this, followed by rolling, 
when the soil is sufficiently dry, will ensure a successful vegetation. After this, frequent cutting and constant 
rolling will be necessary to have a fine smooth lawn.
