The grass seed may tlieii .io sown over the bare spaces. or as many peo- ple prefer. spread a little -over the whole area. The seed should then be rolled ln.

Doing this work early is essential,

as it requires moisture. Any light sin;-ws that we have from their on, will in no way lnlui-e the seed.

A good lawn inlxture may be pur-

chased. or the seed may be purchased separately and mixed. A good nilx- turo is one part white clover to three parts of Kentucky bluegrass.
