A Little Talk on Lawns

The gardener who Is an artist paints
a picture with his flowers and shrubs;
and the lawn is the canvas on which
he paints. To be successful he must
therefore prepare his canvas well.
The first thing to be done in placing
a proper lawn is to grade the ground,
smoothing rough places, giving the
proper level stretches and gentle
slopes. This work varies with the size
OF the lot to be treated II possible
the lawn should slope from the sides
of the house. The grading should be
done so as to distribute evenly all
surface water, avoiding the formation
OF little runs which might produce
washouts.

riched by liberal supply of well rot.

as possible. Then 1t is ready for SOW.
ing
One of the best mixtures for the
lawn is four parts OF Kentucky blue
grass with one part white clover sown
not less than five bushels per acre.
Equally good results are usually OBJ
tanned by the use of Red Top in place

of Red Top and blue grass and a lit.

but TO be prepared to resow In places
in which the first sowing comes up

in the form Of spray. Probably the

THE INJURED TREE.
Methods Of Treatment to Insure iher
Protection and Preservation.

It is the part of wisdom to be aple
to administer first aid to the injured
tree, as well as the more permanent
aids. One of the most common OF
these is the splitting down of a limp,
as suggested in accompanying Illus
tration, Fig. l.
If the limb is not broken wholly on
if there is still left connecting
link of sound wood, and of sound
bark. the limb can, with care, be
saved. This will often save the beauty
of the tree With as little delay as
possible shorten all the small branch
es of the limb, to make their weight
as little as possible, then carefully lift
the broken limb back into position,
and lash it firmly with ropes or
straps.
Now with bit, or auger, bore a
hole through the limb and tree trunk
as suggested by the dotted line in
