dug up as required throughout the winter, covering the surface of the earth to prevent 
the frost from hardening the soil.

Silver-skinned Jerusalem Artichoke.

tendency to a globular shape, and the quality is excellent.

Directions kor Using Carters’ Lawn Manure. —For putting down a 
new lawn, it should be sown as soon as the ground is thoroughly prepared for the seed, 
and raked in, care being taken to distribute it as evenly as possible, as the appearance 
of the Lawn will be materially affected by this. For top dressing, it should be sown 
immediately after cutting the grass, and, if possible, just before a shower of rain. If 
the weather is dry, water the Lawn after top dressing. This manure will be found 
very effective and lasting. It should not be exposed to a hot sun when stored, or 
in a damp place. Sow 4 cwt. per acre.
