should be done so as TO distribute

The soil should be enriched with q
liberal supply OF well rotted manure.
This Is essential where The soil Is lack

One OF the best mixtures for the
lawn is four parts Kentucky blue grass
with one part Of white clover, sown
NOT less than five bushels to the acre,
Equally good results are usually OBJ
tanned by the use of redtop in place
OF the blue grass or with equal parts
OF redtop and blue grass and little
white clover When moisture is plen-
tifuI The blue grass forms a softer turf
than the redtop. but does not seem TO
endure drought 80 well In shady
places the blue grass mixture is best.
Nothing but pure seed should be sown.
II Is well to be liberal with the seed,
not TO scatter II too thinly and to re-
seed portions that come up poorly.
