The manner'in which the iawn is clipped ranka in importance with the other essentiais of lawn culture which ha' been, emphasized before-that high gradeseed of the permanent lawn' grasses be sowed and that an abundance of-properly balanced. plant food be provided. T he uality of a iawn is measured largely by its density. Nature con-ý tribu tes to the production of"a dense lawn in that the desirable lawn grasses, naîneiy Kentucky Ilue grass, Chewing's- 'Fescue, Poa trivialis, and the var'Ous bnts, are capable * of vegetative reproduction bynmeans of root stocks and creeping' stems and will produce .two (or more) plants where only one grew before- pro- vided the iawn is ciippéd properly. LouE Area Lpt Tp iake.possible the de-velopaent of mnot stocks and creeping stems thr grass must have suficient leaf area to manufacture a large amount of sugar. Part of this sugar is trans- ferred to the underground portions of the pianit and is 'combined with nitrogen and essential minerai ele- ments to produce the new tissue of these growing parts. The extent to which ne* vegetative parts wiil be produced. wili vary directly as the have started growth they will starve and die, thus, preventing the produc- tion of new pat and, thickening of theturf.
