Hints on Lawns. — There is no part of a garden which requires such 
careful and regular attention as the lawn, and certainly there is nothing 
more delightful than a well-kept lawn in proximity to a residence. It 
is quite possible for even the smallest cottage to have its plot of grass, 
providing sufficient care is taken at tho outset in forming it. The following 
hints will be found of help to those about to form or renovate a lawn. 
Choose an open space as level as possiblo, and naturally well drained; 
if the ground is at all uneven it must bo levelled by removing the higher 
to the lower parts. The whole of the ground should be well dug and 
pulverized to a depth of eighteen inches, giving a good dressing of manure 
at the same time, after digging rake tho surface level and very carefully 
remove all stones, rolling it quite firm all over. Care must be taken not 
to allow any oarting or wheeling upon the ground after being dug unless 
boards are laid down for the purpose. 
The best time for sowing Grass Seeds is the Spring, during March and 
April, although satisfactory results are often obtained when sown in 
September. To ensure the securing of a good thick even turf, it is 
imperative that the seed be sown very thickly, in fact it is much better 
| to sow a liberal quantity at first than to have to renovate at the end of 
the season. Four or six bushels per acre is not too much, generally speaking 
about one to two lb. to a rod of ground is a good dressing. 
Remove all weeds as they appear and as soon as the grass is three or 
four inohes high it should be mown with a scythe and well rolled. Frequent 
rolling and cutting must be done if a really fine turf is desired, and an 
occasional dressing of Daniels’ Lawn “ Manure,” applying about two to 
three ounces to the square yard, will be found to promote a healthy growth 
of the young sward. 
The renovating and improving of old lawns is most important work 
and may be done either in March or September. The seed should be sown 
evenly over all bare plaoes and in all holes, using tho finest lawn mixture; 
cover the seeds with a slight sprinkling of finely sifted soil and roll the 
whole surface down evenly and firmly. The sowing of Lawn Seeds should 
always be done in oalm fine weather when there is no fear of either the 
seed being blown about or of the soil adhering to the roller. Small birds 
are very fond of grass seeds, and it is therefore most advisable to give 
some protection (when convenient) until the young grass gets hold.
