tam anti tottothold. 111antmgement of Ldwas., , A small:pamp hlet of seventeen' pages' on this seubject written by Thomas Mc °lame, landscape gardener, of Hartford Connectic,ut; contains some good. sug gestions; which, although not new to the of skill, are worthy of: being repeat ed in condensed form 1. The drier climate of Amdrica re quires a deeper a t iid 'richer soil than &g land, to maintain a continued green through- the heat of the summer. Terraces are property objected to , and denounced, 8$ being' unnatural and diacordint' with true taste. 3. deweis, Where necessary,. - arid un derdrains,are the firstrequireinents when a lawn' is intended, , 4. The reasons for drainage are, access to the air, and the admission of the rains to pass through it, so that "it i? treated like .a dirty garment, and is Washed, air ed and dried.' • 5. Deep tillage and .manuring are the foundation of sweets with .American lawns--4he soil to be uniforinin texture and'quality to prevent spots-4nd trench -ing, keeping.the 'rich Soil at the surfaCe, being essential. .6. Sow in freshly mellOwed soil ; and if there are many annual' weeds, sow' in autumn, that the winter may kill' them; but if there has been much grading and filling, sow in the spring after the settled surface has peen smoothed. Steep hill sides are recommended' to be sown in summer, -to prevent washing; but we • -suggest a better way to secure thesurface by the roots of a thin crop ,of rye sown the s previons autumn, and then sow ' t be grass among this crop in Spring, cutting the - rye sway as soon as the grass is well • established. 7. Roll in spring old or new•lawns, to smooth the surface, and tiller the'grass 7 9. Avoid-coarse or lumpy manure; and apply as a surface dressing either finely pulverized conipost; or amixture of guano and superphdapnate of lime. 9, Keep the grass cut short from the first, to cause it to grow , thick and form a dense carpet. 10. Never adopt the absurd practice of allowing the grass to grow too tall, to cut for hay. 11. After many trials, the selection of grass for each acre is narrowed \.down to Kentucky bluegrass, 2 . tiushels ;1 red-top 11 bushels; white clover, 2to 4 lbs. For dry and gravelly ground, increase the white clover, and depend less on grasses. Sow the clover and grass seed seperately, 88 the latter is lighter and cannot be thrown so far, Mr. McCluniespeaks of the great pro gress which lawn-making has made in this country within 'ten years (owing . doubtless - in part to the ease with which they may be kept in order by band and horse mowers), and says that at Hart.foxd (his present home) there is "mile - upon mile of lawns of emerald, green,.stretch ing along the streets and avenues and around the dwellings, and with
