A good lawn may be made either by
laying sod or growing seed. II turf
Is used. the lawn is sometimes ready
for use In less time than when seed is
used, but practically the difference Is
very slight. Fewer lawns are made
from turf every year. The turf or soil
Is nearly always obtained from near
by field. It abounds in course grasses
and perniclous weeds. The former
may be got rid Of after considerable
trouble. but the latter rarely ever. Sod
laid lawns are nearly always uneven,
seamy and varied in color and texture.
Their cost, too, is much In excess Of
seeding the lawn down.
