When it is .desired to form a la.vn, the ground should be trenchod aa directed for the vegetable garden any time during the autumn. If the plot can be prepared in March, a season may be gained by sowing the srjss seed during that month; the surface must be thoroughly pulverised ..nil trodden down firmly. The following is a good mixture, if procurable:— Creste'l I)<>g-tajl, 2HJe; Festuca tenuifolia, 4lbs; Festuca duruscula, 21bs; Lolium tenuifolia perenne, 201bs; White clover ,21bs; Trifolium minor, 81bs; Poa Neinoralis and Setiipei'virens 41bs of eacii. This mixture will suffice 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 aad from any seedsman; Some of our native poas and other grasses woild answer admirably lor lawn purposes. If the ground is of a retentive nataro, sowing the seeds should be deferred t-ilj / August. Commence to cut as (>oon as the machine will. act.
