LAYJNG DOWN A LAWN. When it is desired to form a lawn, Ihe ground should be trenched a a directed for the vegetable garden any time during the autumn. 11 the plot can be prepared in March, a season nay be gained by bowing the grass •seed during that month; the surface must bo thoroughly pulverised and trodden down firmly. The following is a good mixture, il procurable:— Crested i)og-lail, 21175; I'estuca lenuifoiia, -libs; Eestuca duruscula, 2lbs; liolium tenuifolia perenne, 201 bs; White clover ,2!bs; Trifoliuni minor, tSlbs; Poa Nemoralis and Sempervirens libs of each. This mixture will uflice for half an acre, and will form a very good lawn, and if 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 for lawn purposes. II the ground is of a retentive nature, snwing the seeds .should be deferred till .August. Commence to cut as ooon as tlie machine will act. Some ne!cr the scythe for the first time of cutting. 1101 l previous to mowing; this will save the knives ol the mower.
