If the plot can be prepared in March, a season u'ay be gained by sowing the grass seed during that month; the surface must bo thoroughly pulverised and trodden down firmly. The following is a good mixture, it procurable:— Cresto'l Dog-tail, 21 Us; lfestnea tenuifoiia, -libs; Festuca duruseula, 2lbs; lioliiini louuifolia perenne, 201bs; White clover ,'2lbs; Trifolium minor. rflbs; Poa lNemoralis and Sempervirens 41 ha of each.

An importan* clement of success ii ftrikikng rose cuttnigs in summer keeping them perfectly fresh— i.e , they must be just as fresh when placed in the soil as when cut from the trees ; ■n fact, the work can not be done too quickly. If once the cuttings shrivel —and they shrivel rapidly—few will grow; but if quite fresh, well select'*], and rightly inserted, leiv will fail. This esontial of perfect freshness vai be maintained when the number of cuttings is limited.
