THE LAWN 
For a good lawn the subsoil should 
be of a retentive nature that will retain 
moisture and will furnish plant food for 
the shrubs and trees. This should be 
covered with about four inches of good 
rich black dirt which should be firmed 
by thorough raking or rolling. A new 
lawn should always be rolled the follow¬ 
ing spring to “smooth out the wrinkles” 
caused by the freezing and thawing of 
the winter. 
Lawn Grass Seed should be sowed at 
the rate of one pound to 250 square feet. 
After the seed is carefully sown it should 
be thoroughly raked in. 
And ow you are ready for one of the 
most in :)ortant parts of getting a new 
lawn started— giving it plenty of water. 
It should be thoroughly soaked every 
evening until it is well up; then it will 
not need so much water unless it should 
be hot and windy. Begin mowing when 
the grass is from 2 to 3 inches high. 
All grass seed sold by reliable firms 
is carefully tested and if your lawn is 
not a complete success, don’t blame the 
seed until you have found out if the 
trouble cannot be traced to one of these 
causes: not enough regular watering; a 
poor soil, or a soil full of weed seeds 
which choked out the grass seed.
