A GOOD LAWN IS
THE FIRST ESSENTIAL

OF course, q good lawn is the
first essential of an attractive land
scape, and no amount Of ornamental
paintings can beautify the grounds
II the lawn Is weedy, shaggy, bare,
or otherwise unsightly.
Best time TO start o lawn In most
sections Of the country Is In the
fall when weeds are less likely to
crowd out the young grass, but fall
sowingS should be early enough to
have the new grass take strong root
before freezing weather, However,
II this was not done last fall, early
spring Is the next best time.
Kinds Of lawn grass 70 plant vary
with growing conditions, but Ken

considerable part of the country,
Apply fertilizers early In spring.
one OF the most effective spring
aids for the lawn Is rolling. Dur
ing winter, freezing and thawing
causes grass roots to be "heaved"
The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-03-20
LAWNS CAN BE WATERED
TOO FREQUENTLY

Top-DressIng, fertllislng, wedding,
proper moving, and proper water
ing are other important factors in
maintaining q good lawn. One mis-
take that many home-owners make
is TO water the lawn too frequently
and too lightly.
Frequent light watering causes
the grass root to be shallow, Then
II watering Is delayed the grass
dies. Thorough soaking once every
week or ten days makes the grass
send down strong, deep roots that
resist drouth and wlnter-killing.
Another aid to keep the lawn In
good shape through the growing
season Is to set the mower 80 that

and q half Closer cutting saps the
