Were we to give our owers and vegetables as little fertilizer as we do the lawn, what would be the resullt? A light every Spning on the snow, just before it leaves, accompanied with a dressing of ni- trate of soda, well crushed and sifted, and a little later a good dressing of bone meal, will work wonders on a lawn that is not up to standard. Well rotted manure is 1 also good if you are quite sure there ` are no weed seeds in it. Unless you .` are certain of this, better use the Z comemrciial fertilizer, and the price, . $4.50 per 100 lbs., is worth consider- ' ing. Before sow-inig your seed rake the lawn all over and especial- ly the thin places, to give your sled a chance to root. Kentucky blue grass and white duoh clover, good reliable clean seed, is the mainstay `of good lawn grass. Weeds, yes; many and various will appear on the lawn. That harbinger of spring, the dandelion, what beautiful things we could say of it if it did not intrude on the Lawn. But as we cannot en-F : tirey eliminate it, we must do the _ next best, try to keep it in check by preventing it from seeding and `by destroying the roots, both slow processes and almost hopeless if our ineighbor does not do the same. `Buclchorn, a plantain-like weed that sends up a small cone-like head, is also a bad weed on lawns; even worse than the dandelion, as it stays with us all summer, and unless the heads are clipped with mower or scythe, when too high for mower, they seed themselves and very soon take full possession, crowding out and starving the ner grasses.
