LAWN GRASS SEEDS 
As supplied to the Royal Parks. 
G rass seeds can never be sown too thickly, as it is found that the thicker the seed is sown the finer will be the 
turf. March and April are the best months for sowing, and the quantity of seed usually sown is 8o lbs. to too lbs. 
per acre. If the ground is to be clothed thickly the larger quantity is recommended. The land should be rolled 
before and after sowing the seed. As many kinds of small birds are very fond of Grass Seeds, it may be well to give 
some protection for a short time till the plants are up. Carefully remove all weeds as soon as they make their 
appearance, and when the grass has grown a few inches high it should be mown with a scythe, and cut afterwards 
every ten days till October. A mowing machine should not be used the first season. Frequent Mowing and 
Rolling are necessary to keep the turf in good order, as a thick bottom grass cannot be procured and maintained 
without compression by frequent rolling. 
To improve Old Lmvns that are thin, about 20 lbs. per acre of Lawn Seed may be soivn, 
raked in with a fine tooth-rake, and u-ell rolled.
