The Kind of Grass.
Kentucky blue grass Is undoubtedly
the great lawn maker for all that sec
ton of the Atlantic coast region north
of Washington, d. c., and for the AL.
legheny region as far south as north
ern Georgia. Blue grass thrives best
in a comparatively retentive, strong
soil where there is an abundance but
not an excessive amount of moisture.
Upon soils of a lighter character in
this region, in localities where preci-
pitation is greater, such grasses as red
top, Rhode Island bent grass, creeping
bent grass, and white clover are more
to be relied upon for lawn making
than blue grass. Redtop, Rhode Is
land bent grass, and creeping bent
grass all have the same ability to
make a compact and deep sward, as
in the case of blue grass. In fact,
under certain conditions redtop and
the bent grasses are able to make a
softer, although not more permanent,
turf than does the blue grass. Upon
the light soils found in the States
south of the latitude of Washington,
D. c., white clover forms an important
feature in lawn mixtures.
In general, because of the varied
conditions of shade and moisture ex-
listing upon a lawn as the result of
trees, shrubs, and architectural OBJ
jects, mixtures are more desirable
than pure grasses. The different de-
grees of shade and moisture maintain
ed in the soil which result from the
presence of trees, shrubs, and build
ings AFFORD variety of conditions I'M
der which q single species would not
produce o uniform lawn.

An interesting trial made in Eng

by acetylene gas that harvesting may
be easily carried on at night. In this

general, greatly modified because OF
building operations or necessary grad.
ing. The soil with which one has to
deal. therefore, Is seldom a normal soil
Of the locality. In general, it is a
portion of the surface soil mixed with
more OF less of the subsoil which has
come from excavation, in making the
foundations Of a house.
The ideal soil for grasses best suit
ed for lawn making is one which Is
moderately moist and contains a con-
siderable percentage of clay-a soil
which is somewhat retentive Of mois-
ture, but never becomes excessively
wet, and is inclined to be heavy and
compact rather than light, loose, and
sandy. A strong clay loan or sandy
loan, underlaid by a clay subsoil, is
undoubtedly the nearest approach to
an ideal soil for lawn; it, therefore,
should be the aim in establishing a
lawn to approach as near as is possible
to one or the other OF these types of
soil. In many localities 1t will, how
ever, be very difficult to produce by
any artificial means at ones command
soil which will approach In texture
either of the types recommended. Our
efforts, nevertheless, should be direct
ed to attaining as closely as possible
these ideals.
Preparations for the Lawn.
Since the lawn is intended to be
permanent feature Of the decoration
of a place, its endurance or span of
life Is of utmost Importance. In gen
eral, grass seeds are small and the
surface seed bed for the reception ot
these seeds need not be more than
inch in depth; but since the grasses,
as they become established, send out
long, lateral feeding roots, it is nee
essary that the area containing the
available food for these plants should
be amplified. This object can only be
attained by deep cultivation and
thorough preparation OF at least s to
10 inches of the surface soil. The soil
to this depth should be made rich and
should be put into an ideal condition
for the development of plant roots.
The mechanical operations of pre-
pairing the soil can be carried on by
the use of the modern pillow IL the
area is large enough, or by spading
if the area is small. The seed bed
should be thoroughly and frequently
stirred, so as to grind the soil par
ticles together as much as possible
for the purpose of reducing them to
uniformly fine condition and to lib
crate plant food. Cultivation should
also have for it's object the destruction
of weeds which may interfere with the
establishment of the lawn or which
may be detrimental to it after 1t Is
once established. After the soil has
been thoroughly plowed or spaded 1t
should be carefully fined by narrowing
or raking, after which 1t should be
thoroughly compacted by the use Of
a lawn or field roller and the surface
again loosened by the use Of O steel

kept greenswards that make them so
congenial to man. Grass is natures
balm and healing for all erosive scars.
Nature abhors rough edges and brok-
en- places, and Immediately proceeds to
cover such ugly spots with green
grass. Man likes to get his feet upon
the soil, but better still upon the
soft, yielding greensward. Rich rugs
and carpets do not give the elastic
spring that the well-made and we'll
kept greensward yields. So says L. G,
Corbett, one of the horticulturists OF
the Department of Agriculture, in

to be printed by Uncle Sam. Since

ply runs out, Secretary Wilson will

In general, Mr.. Corbett says, further,
a lawn should be beautiful and It
should be useful. It's beauty depends
upon the contour OF the land, the col
or the texture Of the grass, and the
uniformity of the turf. The use OF
the lawn Is to provide q suitable set
ting for architectural adornment and
landscape planting.
