SHADY NOOK GRASS MIXTURE 
As it is quite difficult to produce a satisfactory growth of grass in shady spots, we have made a special 
mixture for such places. In very shady places sometimes soil will be found to be sour and in this case an 
application of lime will be quite helpful, using about 10 pounds to each 200 square feet. More applications 
of fertilizer will be needed and during dry weather be quite liberal with water.

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.
