the mistake of trying to cheapen the preparation, for nowhere in the 
garden is the old axiom of“what is worth doing, is wortli doing well,” 
better illustrated than in lawn-making. 
The soil must be deep; a good lawn cannot exist on poor soil. Plow 
the ground deep—a foot is none too much. Apply to the soil, before 
plowing, a heavy coating of well-rotted stable manure. Fresh manure 
carries too many weed seeds; its use should be avoided. If rotted 
manure is not available, use sheep manure or chemical fertilizers. 
Ground boneineal, \]/^ tons to the acre, is a good lawn fertilizer. 
Grass Mixtures 
furnishing plant-food over a long period; 100 pounds of nitrate of 
soda and 100 pounds of dried blood to the acre should be applied at 
the same time; these furnish nitrogen for immediate use. Sheep 
manure at the rate of 1000 pounds to the acre may be used instead 
of nitrate of soda and dried blood. When only a small lawn is being 
made, use 20 pounds of bonemeal to 250 square feet, pound each 
of nitrate of soda and dried blood, or 6 pounds of sheep manure. 
Harrow and cross-harrow until the ground is thoroughly pulverized; 
the better harrowed the ground is, the better the grass will grow and 
the more permanent the lawn will be. 
An acre requires 175 pounds of seed, or 1 pound to each ISO square feet. For renovat¬ 
ing use half this quantity. Harrow or rake the ground lightly, and roll with a heavy roller.

As the result of careful study and trials continuing for many years, 
this mixture contains the seeds of many different grasses with various 
virtues. The early-maturing type gives a quick greenness in the 
spring and early summer. The late types maintain spring freshness

prevailing dry tendencies of American summers, thus reducing the 
amount of artificial watering necessary for insuring an even, green, 
springy turf throughout the summer. Lb. 80 cts.; 20 lbs. $13.50; 100
