HINTS ON THE FORMATION OF LAWNS 
In the first place, see that the ground is well prepared. 
Dig or plow the ground to the depth of 8 inches. Afterwards 
harrow or rake carefully and remove all large stones. If the 
soil is shallow, procure a supply of fine mold and spread over 
the surface to a depth of 5 inches. Soil may be enriched by 
bone meal or well-rotted manure wherever necessary, then 
rake level and roll the soil well to make a solid bottom. .Scat¬ 
ter the’ seed evenly over the surface-at the rate of 150 pounds 
to the acre (for Blue Grass) 1 pound to 16 feet square. Rake 
seed in and roll, water regularly and carefully, as the soil is 
liable to dry out in the heat of the day, and if it does while 
the seed is germinating it will invariably perish. When the 
grass is 3 inches high it should be cut and rolled, and every 
week or so thereafter until the grass has become firm. Eradi¬ 
cate weeds whenever they appear, without disturbing the 
grass. Should bare spots appear, rake the surface and sow 
more seed. The roller should be used frequently during the 
season, and a dressing of lawn fertilizer once a year is neces¬ 
sary to the maintenance of a good lawn.
