LAWN AT THE HOME OF MR. GEORGE EASTMAN, ROCHESTER, N. Y. 
A FINE LAWN is admired by all, but thousands do not avail themselves of the opportunity for one, believing that the making of a 
lawn requires much time and money. Yet how simple and easy it all is. Make the soil light and mellow, so that it will not bake 
after a rain ; and if it is very heavy or clayey, cover the surface with a light coating of fine manure after sowing the seed. For small 
plots sow about one quart of Vick’s Velvet Lawn Seed to a square rod, which will make a beautiful thick turf. For larger areas we give 
here a table showing how much seed is required for any number of square feet: 
For 1 acre, 43560 square feet . 4 bu. or 80 lbs.
