LAYING DOWN A LAWN. When it is desired to form a lawn, the 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 nay be gained by Bowing the grass seed during that month; tho surface must bo thoroughly pulverised <ind trodden down firmly. The following is a good mixture, il procurable: — Crested Dog-tail, 21 Us; Fcstuca tenuifolia, -libs; Kestuca duruecula, 21bs; Loliuiri tenuifolia perenno, 201 bs; White clover ,21 bs; Trifoliuni minor, Slbs; Poa Nemoralis find Sempcrvirens 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 soihs. Special mix teres for laying down lawns may also be r>ad from any seedsman. Some of -nir native pons and other grasses wo;ild answer admirably tor lawn purposes. II the ground is of a retentive nature, sowing the seeds should be deferral til! August.

An importan* element of success u strikikng rose cultnig.s in suminei , is keeping them perfectly fre«h-i.o, they mu.si he just <m fresh when placed in the soil as when cut from the trees ; •l fact, the work can not bo done; kxi quickly. If once the cuttings shrivel -and they shrivel rapidly- few will grow; but ff quite fresh, well selected, and rightly inserted, lew will fail. This esential of perfect freshness '.ar be maintained when the number o' cuttings is limited.
