LAYING DOAVN A LAWN. When it is desired to form a lawn, iho ground should be trenched aa directed for the vegetable garden any time during the autumn. If the plot can be prepared in March, a season n:ay be gained by sowing the seed during that month; the surface must be thoroughly pulverised and trodden down firmly. The following is a good mixture, if procurable:— Crested Dog-tail, 21us; Festuca tenuiFoiia. 4lbs; Festuca duniseula, 21bs; Loliiim tonuifolia perenne, 201bs; White clover ,21bs; Trifolium minor, 81bs; Poa Neinoralis and .Sempervirens -libs of each. This mixture will '■uffico for half an acre, and will form a very good lawn, and iT kept cut close answers most soils. Special mixtures for laying down lawns may also be nad from any seedsman. Some of our native poas and other grasses would answer admirably lor lawn purposes. 11 the ground is of a retentive nature, sowing the seeds should be deferred till August. Commence to cut as soon as the machine will act. Some irelor the scythe for the first time of cutting. Roll previous to mowing; this will save the knives ol the mower.
