HINTS ON FORMING A LAWN, 
There is no doubt that the best way to make a good Lawn is by sowing seed, as by this means a perfectly level plot may be secured' 
and if the soil is free from weeds in the first place, and perfectly clean seed is used, the result is far better, and the cost much less, than if 
turf IS laid. In constructing a New Lawn a considerable amount of care is necessary. The ground should be well trenched, and if very 
poor, a supply of manure worked in. After this it should be thoroughly levelled and well rolled with a heavy roller, which should be run 
both ways, and the ground should be raked over again between each rolling, to ensure an even surface, which will not afterwards run into 
holes, ^ke seed should not be sown before the beginning of April, nor later than September, as young grasses are easily destroyed by 
frost. From 6o to 8o lbs., of seed per statute acre is the quantity we recommend should be sown in order to obtain a good bottom 
quickly, or i lb. will sow about 50 square yards. Avoid sowing in dry, scorching weather, or the germinating properties of the seed will 
be destroyed. When sown, the seed should be lightly raked into the ground, and afterwards rolled. If weeds appear they should be care- 
fully removed until the grasses are well established , and to keep the lawn in a good condition, with a close velvety-like appearance, con- 
stant mowing and rolling is most essential, as a thick bottom cannot be procured and maintained without the necessary rolling. 
For improving Old Lawns which have become bare and patchy, sow 20 lbs. per statute acre. Before sowing, the surface of the soil 
must be well raked with a strong rake, and afterwards top-dressed with fine soil, and if the land is poor, a top-dressing of Clibraus* Lawn 
Manure will produce marvellous results. After top-dressing roll the Lawn, sow the seeds, rake them in, and afterwards roll both ways. 
Our Mixtures of Lawn Grass Seeds are prepared with tlie greatest care, and are composed of suitable proportions of fine-leaved dwarf- 
growing evergreen kinds. The seeds are thoroughly re-cleaned by the latest and most improved machinery on our own premises to free 
them from weeds and other impurities. Generally tlie same mixture is sold for sowing under trees, and near towns, &c., as for the open 
country. Obviously this should not be done, when experience has shown that some grasses will not grow in smoky districts at all. If one 
of our mixtures specially adapted for the particular situation be sown, much annoyance, apart from pecuniary loss, will be saved.
