SUGGESTIONS FOR MAKING A LAWN 
In making a neiv laivn, the toil thould be tpaded very thoroughly and if any Quack-grass 
it present, all the roots thould he picked out. The surface mutt be made level at the tame time. 
/Ifter leveling, the toil thould be either tramped doiun or rolled with a heavy roller to get the 
foundation firm. Seed thould be broad-cast very evenly at the rate of 1 lb. of good clean teed to 
about 200 square feet. The teed thould then be either covered with a thin layer of soil or 
chopped down and the toil rolled again and watered. For repairing an old lawn we recommend 
to scratch the tod thoroughly and deep with a rake to the dead grass can be cleared off and the 
surface of the toil rough, then sprinkle the seed. Now go over the lawn again with the bdck 
or smooth tide of the rake to cover up at much teed at possible. Another method will be to 
sprinkle teed on the old lawn and then cover with at least i/ 2 -inch of finely pulverized peat moss. 
Once in a while the lawn, especially an old one, thould be given an application of tome good plant 
food containing Nitrogen.
