(I, HERE is nothing more essential to a rural or suburban residence than a beautiful lawn with its 
close velvety turf. In sowing down a lawn be sure the soil is perfectly clean, and if 
poor a good dressing of loam should be well spread over about 3 or 4 inches deep. 
After being well rolled and raked very fine the seed may be sown broad cast and as 
evenly as possible, then again raked and rolled down. In a few weeks the grass will appear and 
be ready for cutting which operation should be often performed, using the scythe until the lawn 
be well established, when it may be cut with machine and rolled as frequently as required. Sow 
per acre from 3 to 4 bushels. 
The following mixtures contain only those close growing dwarf evergreen grasses and Clovers that 
will produce a thick turf in a very short time.
