HOW TO MAKE A LAWN. 
The ground should be spaded deeply and thoroughly raked to a level and fineness, and 
after the seed is sown should be very lightly raked, as heavy raking would cover it too 
deep. After raking it is well to roll it, but it is not absolutely necessary. 
Kentucky Blue G-rass is largely used alone, and it makes a fine sod. It is well to use 
with it a little White Clover, which is of low growth and looks well, and it is of surer 
growth than blue grass. As light seeds like blue grass cannot be covered deep, but must 
be close to the surface, they are readily affected by dry weather. The seed may be ready 
to sprout and in the morning be moist, but before night be dried out and ruined. With 
this uncertainty it is well to sow a little Red Top with it, which is of much surer growth, 
and in a couple of years the blue grass will run it out. 
Seed can be sown with good results almost any time where water can be had to sprinkle 
when it becomes dry. If not, then February and March are the best months, that it may 
come up with the warm spring rains. August and September are also good months, as we 
usually have fall rains to do the same. 
It is advised to sow one pound of seed to each 15 feet square on bare ground, and on 
old lawns in proportion as needed.
