Madison St., Chicago OUR LAWN GRASS MIXTURES WILL MAKE A BETTER LAWN THAN SOD HOW TO MAKE A LAWN ICAKIKG- A ItAWN—How and When to Sow Barnard's lawn Seed—The soil should be rich and care- fully prepared by being pulverized. You cannot hope to get a good lawn on the soil that came from the cellar, 8 or 10 feet below the surface. If you are building a new house, make the contractor save the top-soil, provided it is not on filled land. If the soil is not suitable* have enough good dirt hauled in to make a top surface a foot or more deep. A thick, rich green turf, that will look well in a dry time, will only come on deep, well-fertilized soil; if you have good soil rightly prepared, you will have a good lawn. The best soil is a good medium texture; the surface should be thoroughly pulverized and, smoothed to the desired grade; remove all large stones, roots and hardened pieces of earth that cannot be readily broken; ample time being allowed for the thorough settling of the soil, which is greatly aided by a few heavy showers of rain. When the soil is firm, level and suitably moist, sow Barnard's Iiawn Chrass Seed at the rate of 75 to 100 lbs. per acre—one lb. will sow 15x20 ft. (or 300 square feet). It is unwise to be too economical in the quantity of seed used, if the best results are desired. The seed should be sown broadcast and as evenly as possible, then give a thorough rolling or pat well with the back of a spade. The seed must be well firmed in the soil. When the young grass attains a height of 4 inches, carefully mow with a sharp scythe. After this, according to the season, it should be mown with a lawnmower every week or ten days. OEKEBAIi SUBFACE RENOVATING*—When your lawn has been established, you will find it to your advantage to lightly re-seed each season. As early as possible care
