On transplanting^ Turf. 309 



turf left standing to continue the pasture did not however ap- 

 proach or unite, so as to furnish the naked spaces with plants, 

 because there were not any creeping-rooted grasses in the sward 

 to throw out lateral roots and plants; and the naked strips 

 or furrows caused by the removal of the turf, being very incon- 

 venient to the feet in riding or walking over the ground, they 

 had to be filled up with mould, and afterwards sown with grass- 

 seeds.* 



* The author takes this opportunity to inform his readers, that having entered 

 into the firm of Corniack and Soo, Nursery and Seedsmen, New Cross, London, 

 and having made the actual raising of genuine seeds of all the essential permanent 

 pasture grasses, clovers, and agricultural speds of every description, one of the ob- 

 jects of his arrangements with th'it old established fiim, — he therefore trusts, in a 

 short time, to be able, from the New Cross Nursery, to supply the Agricultural 

 public with these seeds at a price sufficiently low to insure a demand for genera! 

 farm practice.
