About this book
Making a Lawn is by Luke Joseph Doogue. A note says Making a Lawn is one of a series of little volumes meant to be a complete library of authoritative and well illustrated handbooks dealing with the activities of the home-maker and amateur gardener. The text says it would be more than delightful to say that a fine lawn could be had by very hard wishing, but honesty compels one to change the words hard wishing to hard work.
The text says it makes no difference how much you pay for your grass seed, how good or bad it is, or what kind of fertilizers you use, if the bed is not properly prepared in the first place. The text says grass seed should be spread at the rate of about three bushels to the acre, and that this sowing can be successfully done only on a quiet day. The text says there is only one sure way of eradicating weeds, and that is by cutting them out with a knife as soon as they appear.
