CMy Jfawn IVill Stand Anything 
ho wants the kind of grass that won’t stand romping dogs and children? 
Why, that’s what a lawn is for. 
My lawn will stand anything. I buy good seed, sow it generously, and when 
it is well started I encourage deep strong growth by generous watering. 
Continuous, light sprinkling is bad for a lawn. It coaxes the grass roots up to the 
surface and makes a thin silky sod, easily damaged or torn up. A thorough watering 
about twice a week sends the roots deep down into the soil and gives the sort of 
lawn the family can live on without hurting it. 
I do my work with standard hose; $/&" is the right size for garden hose since the 
water comes through ordinary house or lawn connections, which have ff" water 
channels. For my own use I have BULL DOG Hose, “the kind that lasts longest.” 
For the children I get GOOD LUCK, a wrapped hose made just like BULL DOG 
but lighter to carry about and less expensive. Around the garage I use MILO, 
the third member of this famous $/&" family. MILO is a moulded hose with a 
corrugated cover and will not kink. With all of these brands of hose I use the 
Boston nozzle which gives “stream spray or mist with a twist of the wrist.”
