THE MAKING AND KEEPING OF A LAWN. The successful keeping as well as making of a beautiful lawn lies most largely in the thorough preparation, before a seed is sown. In fitting the ground for a lawn care should be taken to have the work properly done throughout, as in that condition it will last for years; but if slighted in the beginning it will be a constant source of annoyance and expense.
