PREPARATION and CARE OF LAWNS. Park Lawn Grass. This mixture does not contain so much of the high-priced grasses as our Ever- green Lawn Grass, but it is superior to many of the cheap grades offered, and will make a very nice lawn. Quart % .20 Peck BusHEU of 16 Lbs The ground should be thoroughly drained and well en- riched before sowing. Work the soil until well pulverized, and have the surface as level as possible, so that the grass may present an even appearance. After sowing, cover seed lightly and follow with roller. The best results are obtained by using plenty of seed—four bushels to the acre being about the right quantity. One quart is sufficient for 300 square feet. Let the grass obtain a good start before cutting, and then it should be trimmed with a lawn mower about every ten days. Old lawns may be im- proved and renewed by the application of fertilizers and seeding about half the quantity of seed required for new lawns. This should be done whenever they show any thin places. Our Lawn Grass should not be confounded with the cheap, chaffy grasses offered at less prices. The Best English MiHtrack Mushroom Spawn. Mushrooms can be readily grown in cellars, stables, sheds, or pits. Many are successfully grown on a shelf in an ordinary cellar, and yield sufficient crop to compensate the grower for his effort. The space under greenhouse benches or stagings will suit them exactly, using materials in same manner as described. CULTIVATION. The cultivation of the mushroom is a very simple mat- ter, and requii-es only ordinary intelligence and care. The materials needed are fresh horse manure, good soil, and live spawn. The manure should not be too short, as it does not combine the necessary qualities. Long, strawy litter, plentifully mixed with short manure, makes by far the best beds,
