CRASS SEED FOR LAWNS^ ETC. In laying out a piece of ground for a lawn, care should be exercised to obtain the proper grade and slope, and perfect the general plan of the grounds before attempting to sow any seed at all. After the correct grade has been obtained, and the surface suffi- ciently plowed or spaded, it should be thoroughly harrowed to pulverize the lumps, and so left, that there may be at least from five to ten inches of good, rich soil over the whole surface. Then all the roots and loose stones should be removed, and the surface bushed or raked down perfectly smooth and in a suitable con- dition for successful germination and growth of the fine seed which is used for seeding. The prepar- ation of most lawn seeds is composed of the finest kind of grasses, and for that reason should be sown much thicker than the coarse sorts that are used in field seeding. After sowing the seed, rake or harrow the surface lightly, and then roll thoroughly, to smooth off, and leave in good condition. PLATT'S EVERGREEN LAWM MIXTURE. This mixture is the finest in quality that we pre- pare for general situations. It is composed of a judicious combination of the short fine-growing varie- ties that have proved most valuable. It is perfectly adapted to the soil and climate of New Haven, as evi- denced by the many beautiful lawns and parks that have been developed and seeded with "Piatt's Ever- green Lawn Mixture '' for twenty-five years.
