Do Not Neglect LAWNS. 
A lawn is a permanent planting. There is a direct relation between the height of 
the grass blades and the depth of the grass roots. As constant mowing keeps the 
grass short, food should be given the roots in the form of fertilizer and top-dressing. 
Yearly upkeep is cheap compared to the expense of bringing back a neglected lawn.
