TRADITIONAL
RECIPE FOR MAKING A GOOD LAWN
A traditional recipe for making a good lawn was once given, it is said, to an overseas visitor at Oxford University, England. "First you sow the lawn," he was instructed, "then you cut and roll it for a thousand years.” There are actually few greens in Britain which are more than 500 or 600 years old; but any gar- dener knows that only time and loving care will produce a first class lawn.
The best turf in Britain comes from the north of England where bowling greens, lawns and the like are unsurpassed. Love- ly, matured and emerald-green in colour, it is frequently cut, rolled and transported to less fortunate parts of the country, much of it being obtained from wild, rainy, sea-washed and mountainous tracts of Cumberland.
For those, however, who are only interested in producing a lawn in the minimum of time, there is a special society which carries out intensive research into the selence of Inwn culture. Founded at the suggestion and with the support of leading golt clube and societies, it is engaged in the whole question of pro- ducing the best graas for all varieties of greens; for tennis courts, cricket pitches, bowling greens and many other purposes. Its research station is at Bingley, in the English county of York- shire, where 1,800 separate plots enable the scientists to study the effects of various fertilisers, weeds, diseases, treatments, and so forth so that good lawns and greens the world over may be produced cheaply and quickly.
