The Preparation and Care of the Lawn 
The ground must first be thoroughly prepared by draining, if necessary, and spade or plow to the depth of 6 to 
12 inches, according to the nature of the soil, applying a liberal quantity of well decomposed manure, bonemeal or 
pulverized cow manure, the latter we recommend as being lasting in effect, not liable to burn the grass and free from 
weeds. Clean the ground thoroughly and rake perfectly smooth and level, as much of the success depends upon this 
part of the preparation. The seed should be sown on a calm day, that it may be applied evenly, and at the rate of 
150 pounds per acre, or one pound is sufficient for 200 square feet. After the seed is sown the ground should be rolled 
with a light roller or evenly tamped with the back of a spade. The plot should be mowed every ten days from May 
until September, using a sharp scythe in preference to a mower until a close turf is formed. Frequent mowing and 
rolling is necessary to maintain a close, even turf. April and September are the best months for sowing lawn seed.
