It is so easy to mow the lawn with the light-running modern lawn-mower,

that many fine lawns are injured by too frequent mowings. We should not

follow any set time for mowing, but be governed by the growth of the

grass and the weather. When hot weather approaches, the grass should be

cut less often, for too close cutting will expose the roots, and if the

weather be dry and hot for a considerable period, the grass as a

consequence will wither prematurely.
