LAVING DOWN A LAWN. When it is desired to form a la.vn, Ihe ground should be trenched aa directed for the vegetable garden any tune during the autumn. If the plot can be prepared in March, season nay be gained by sowing the grass seed during thai inoiilh; ihe surlace must be thoroughly pulverised and trodden down (irmly. Tlio following is a good mixture, it procurable: — Create*l Dog-tail. 2117s ; I'Vstuea le/iuifoiia. libs; l''estuca duruscula, 2lbs; Loliuin leimil'olia perenne. 201 bs; While clover ,2lbs; Tril'olium minor. I'na Nemoralis and Sempervirens libs of eaefi. This mixture will 11 fliee lor hall an acre, and will form a very good lawn, and if kept cut close answers most soils. Special mixtures !'e-r laying down lawns may also be nad 11 <im any seedsman. iSoine of our native poa.s and other grasses would answer admirably lor lawn purpose?. II the ground is ol a retentive nature, sowing the seeds should lie deferred till August. Commence to cut as soon as the machine will act. ' So 1110 )ieler the scythe for the iirst time of culling. Poll previous to mowing; this will save the knives ot the iihuvji - .
