As Grasses never thrive on ground exhausted by previous crops or 
neglected cultivation, it is of the first importance that, whatever the nature 
of the soil, land intended for laying down to grass should be in good condition 
and as free as possible from weeds. For this reason, the root crop which 
generally precedes grass, should be heavily manured and as early in Autumn 
as convenient, the ground should be deeply ploughed and left rough for the 
Winter. In the Spring, it should be thoroughly scarified, harrowed, and rolled 
to bring the soil into a thoroughly pulverized level and firm condition before 
seeding. The best time for sowing is from about the middle of March to the 
third week in April, although good results may sometimes be had by later 
sowings. After sowing, roll the ground as firmly as possible, and when the 
young plants are a few inches high, cut over with the scythe and give a good 
rolling. Remove all large weeds and re-sow any bare or weak patches. 
Top-dressings of well-decayed manure in "Winter are very beneficial, and will 
always pay for the outlay in the larger yield.
