An Englishman Tells About the Careful
Gardening In Hts Native Land.
Lewis Rose, a practical gardener,
came to this country 10 years ago from
England, where he was a farmer, and
he trims and cuts according to English
rules. Speaking Of this country, he said;
You Americans do not know what
good lawns are. In England the houses
of the gentry are surrounded by acres
of green sward that looks just like vel
vet. They NOW the grass with a ma
chino every week. and after tho mower
comes a heavy stone roller that rolls it
down as fat as piece Of paper. II is
just as smooth as that table cover there
stretched over the table. The roller is
to press down and heal any little break
or tear in the turf made By the machine
If you break the turf anywhere, it Is
just like breaking your skin. You
must fix 1t directly, or there will be
sore place on the lawn. Even If it gets
well there will always be 0 scar there
unless you mend it carefully. You
should seethe English lawns after a
showeri The green is beautiful, and
every blade of grass stands up straight,
but all the little blades are of exactly
the Same length, and they look soft and
level. The perfume Of the new grass
is delightful. They have windows gem
orally that come down to the floor, and
ON the walls outside the house are
climbing rose bushes all in bloom. The
combined odor of roses and new mown
grass is very pleasant.
You have to 60 at lawn as if it
were a piece Of embroidery you were
at work ON. First you must have good
rich, decaying mold for the grass to
live on. You cannot make grass grow
in sand. Then as the grass comes up
you must go over 1t step by step and
dig out all the coarse grass and weeds
and be sure to mend each place after
digging up the roots. Then you will be-
gin to find patches where no grass ap-
pears. You want to have grass seed
handy and SOW these places with it,
water my lawns twice a day-in the
morning before the sun gets fairly up
and at night after it goes down. NOV
the grass every week. After you have
a good lawn you must watch every
inch of 1t. You have no idea how easy
it is TO let patch here and there get
poisoned to death. When you find any
foreign substance on lawn that is like
ly to poison the grass, you want to dig
it up, put fresh soil and fertilizer un-
der it and fit new and healthy bit Of
turf in the hole you have made. Then
keep an eye on 1t afterward and water
it well. The rich, decomposed sweep
ings from the stable make the best fer
tilizer.
In pruning trees you want to cut of
every long shoot and mako your trees
compact and bushy like a full blown
rose. Even wealthy Americans let their
trees get scrawny, and they don't al
ways cut them enough to prevent decay
in some of the branches. 1t is easy to
trim trees if you understand this prin-
ciple. And the only reason have been
successful with my lawns Ia that have
been willing to take pains with them
and do a lot of hard work.--New York
