lawn fertilizer is available, analyzing five or six per cent nitrogen, ten or twelve per cent phosphoric acid and three or four per cent potash. A common commercial fertilizer analyzing1 2-10-2 can practically always be purchased and by adding twenty-five pounds of sulphate of ammonia to 125 pounds of the 2-10-2 fertilizer, the resulting mixture makes an excellent lawn fertlizer. Apply about twenty pounds of either of the above fertilizer mixture to 1,000 square feet of lawn. ' .Most lawns would be benefited by a yearly application of grass seed. Seeding should be done during March and on a still morning following a I .night which has been cold enough to freeze a crust on the ground. If white clover is desired in the lawn use one quart of white clover seed to ten j. parts Blue grass. Sow two pounds') of seed to 3,000 square feet of lawn < Another good seed mixture is half ; I
