KEEPING THE LAWN GREEN 
ROSE BAUER ANDERSON 
HE secret of a good lawn is regular attention from the 
beginning of the season. Rolling as soon as the grass 
begins to grow, firms the roots in the soil for the year. 
First, however, sift wood ashes (sparingly), fine bone 
meal, or any good commercial fertilizer, over the ground and 
thoroughly rake to remove all dead grass. A water weighted 
oiler is ideal, as, if the ground is wet, a light weight is desirable, 
whereas if the soil is somewhat dry, the heavier the roller the 
better. 
Cut the grass immediately it is of sufficient length, otherwise 
it becomes coarse; and, as the grass grows very rapidly during 
the spring months, it may even have - to be cut two or three 
times a week. The clippings may be allowed to remain, as the 
short, fine grass is beneficial as a mulch; but if the texture 
of the grass becomes wiry and coarse, clippings should be 
removed. Lawn clippings are a valuable addition to the 
compost pile. 
Keep all Dandelion blossoms picked before they expand. 
For a few pennies daily during the blooming season, some child 
will be glad to do this for you. Wherever an unusually large 
Dandelion begins to overspread the glass, remove it, root and 
all. Always have a little lawn seed on hand and watch for the 
bare spots. Rake these lightly, if necessary add a little soil, 
scatter seed generously, roll or pat down with a spade or the 
foot; and water. 
It is possible to entirely eliminate the Dandelion, Rib-grass, 
and other coarse weeds. A strong, long blade, hand weed-dig- 
ger is necessary, and the roots are more easily removed when 
the ground is wet. If a root is broken off, apply kerosene oil 
and later fill with soil the hole made by the removal of the root; 
sow lawn seed, firm down, and water. This method persisted 
in for a few seasons will rid the lawn of weeds. 
Do not allow the lawn to become dry. Do not wait for 
brown patches to appear, it is then too late. Don’t water by 
the calendar but as needed, and do not sprinkle lightly daily. 
That encourages the roots to come to the surface for moisture, 
and the sun soon burns and kills them. When the lawn is 
watered, it should be soaked literally. One good soaking a 
week is infinitely better than daily sprinkling. The ordinary 
hose nozzle is not adapted for lawn work. Any of the round 
fountain sprays which cover considerable surface may be 
satisfactorily used by leaving the spray for a considerable time 
in one position, then moving it to another, etc. The under- 
ground or concealed sprinkling systems on the market are ideal; 
the pipes are placed a few inches beneath the surface (this is as 
easily accomplished with the established lawn as a new one), 
and the entire lawn, no matter what its size, is irrigated by one 
turn of the valve. 
With the coming of hot, dry weather, raise the knives of the 
mower so that the grass is not cut closely. If garden soil is 
available, a light mulch of it, with a little fertilizer, applied in 
mid-summer just before a rain, is admirable.
