It is also an increasingly popular im- provement to existing homes. In all, more than 2 million American homes are now centrally air-con- ditioned and 400,000 more families are expected to add this feature during the 1964 cooling season, Each Lawn Problem Can Be Unique The first thing to remember when starting to build a fine lawn is that all the rules do not apply to each area and lawn. They depend onthe type of grass selected and local soil and climate conditions. The best all-purpose grass is con- sidered to be a mixture of Kentucky bluegrass and one or more of the fescues such as Illahee or Creeping Red. Since the germination time for any good perennial grass is quite long, fall seeding will give better results than spring. Aerating the lawn at time of seed- ing increases the chance for success but the ground must be soft before even powered equipment will oper- ate properly. : Serious Problem The most serious lawn problem is the lack of essential soil elements that grass needs to feed upon. Prop- er fertilizations through the year is the biggest secret to a beautiful lawn; but caution must be exercised as with all lawn chemicals to pre- vent damage to the lawn. Timing the application of any lawn material can mean the differ- ence between success and failure. Weed killers can kill grass as well as weeds and require accurate ap- plication. The best weed control is a thick, healthy lawn. Another serious detriment to a good lawn has been the rotary mower. Infrequent cutting with a dull blade and cutting the grass shorter than 1!: inches will soon- er or later cause the grass to wither and die. Growing a beautiful lawn in poor soil requires continuous care and proper lawn management to insure the best possible results. A home- owner can kill lawn with kindness as well as neglect. National Lawnservice, therefore, recommends thatbefore embarking on renovating a lawn, a home- owner should obtain an expert’s advice first. Expert advice will cost nothing and will assuredly save work money, and disappointment in the future. according to the Air-Conditioning and Refrigeration Institute. Obviously. flameless electric cen- tral cooling is an important new feature to homebuyers and home- owners, and there are a number of reasons why. Among the most im- portant is the fact that the installed cost of a central system has been cut substantially over the last de- cade, while major technological breakthroughs have produced new systems that are more compact, more efficient, and easier to install and maintain. Equally as important, however, is growing recognition of many benefits that fully airconditioned living offers. Assuming a system that is properly sized and installed in conjunction with a flameless elec- tric furnace or independent of the heating system, you can expect to have a full cycle of indoor comfort for the first time: warmth and pos-- sibly humidification in winter; cool- ing and dehumidification in sum- mer; and maximum air filtration 12 months a year. Although cooling is the primary reason why typical air conditioning owners buy their systems, family life in a thermally controlled en- vironment soon reveals other bene- fits as well. Children eat, nap, and sleep better and longer — and sodo parents. Hot meals become practi- cal in summer, at-home entertain- ment increases, and family life is .enhanced.
