Any one who purchases cheap, badly mixed lawn grass seed will soon realize that it was a poor investment, as the error will stand out for years in glaring FORMATION OF LAWNS FROM SEED IN the first place, see that your ground is thoroughly drained and well prepared, sowing a/ least three bushels of seed to the acre. Perhaps the best description of soil for lawn is the stiff loam or clayey soils which predominate in so many districts. This ought not to be b}^ any means too rich, as a rapid growth is not wanted in the grasses of a lawn, but in preparing it for laying down let the surface be as much alike in quality as possible, and do not stint the quantity of seed. If your ground is in condition to raise a good crop of potatoes it will make a good lawn; add about half a ton of bone dust to the acre, harrowed in before sowing the seed. The success of establishing a good lawn depends much on the season and the condition of the ground at the time of growing. A very slight raking-in will protect the seeds much, or a sowing of wood ashes will render them distasteful to birds. Rolling, however, is at all times indispensable. The best time to sow lawn grass seed is early in the spring, say February or i\Iarch, or about the latter part of August. We prefer the early spring. It is proper here to observe that no lawn can be maintained long in good order with- out successive rollings. Mowing
