T 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 bo well spread over about 3 or 4 inches deep. Aftei 
being well rolled and raked very fine the seed may be sown &oadcast and as evenly as possible, then rolled down. In a few weeks thi 
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 bg 
cut with machine and rolled as frequently as required. It should be sown in April, May, August, and September, always taking advantage of the mo« 
suitable weather. Per lb. Per Peck. Per Bushel
