CARTER’S PRIZE MEDAL GRASS SEEDS 
TESTIMONIALS. 
From J. Bromwich, E sq., 
Rugby. 
The grass seeds I had 
from you wero very good 
indeed ; a more beautiful 
crop could not be found. 
From the Right Honorable 
Lady Carbery, Castle 
Frekc. 
Lady Cnrbery wishes to 
tell Messrs. Carter nothing 
can bo better than the 
meadow land laid down 
with their Grass and Clover 
seeds last season. 
From E. Lloyd, Esq., 
Noyadd. 
I am very much pleased 
with my crop of Cartor’s 
Superfine Italian Ryo 
Grass and Trifolium in- 
carnatum produced from 
your seed last autumn ; it 
was capital keep for my 
stablo horses, and lasted a 
long time. 
Hints on the for- 
mation of New 
or Improve- 
ment of Old 
Lawns. 
1. — The soil should be in 
good tilth, and care taken 
that the seed is not buried 
too deep, as from that cause 
thevory finest grasses would 
perish. A quarter of an 
inch to hulfan inch may bo 
accepted as tho maximum 
and minimum to be re- 
membered. 
2. — After sowing tho soil 
should be well rolled, and 
constant mowing and roll- 
ing bo adopted when the 
grass seeds germinate. 
Weeds of every description 
should bo instantly re- 
moved on making their 
appearance above ground, 
and tho spaces occupied by 
them re-sown with lino 
grass seeds. 
3. — When making a new 
Lawn it is highly import- 
ant to ascertain whether 
the land is insufficiently 
or excessively drained, as 
in either case complete 
success is impossible. 
4 . — Caro should bo taken 
when surface-dressing with 
fine soil (ns is generally 
necessary) that it be as free 
from weeds as possible. 
The same precautions are 
desirable where the seed is 
intended to be sown on the 
native soil. By this mean# 
the disappointment of 
weedy Lawns may be ma- 
terially avoided. 
Prom Mr. S. J. Jowning, 
Petcrsfield. 
Please send me half bush.

CARTER’S SUPERFINE ITALIAN 
RYE GRASS, 
FOR SOWING ALONE, OR WITH OTnBR CROPS. 
J. C. & Co. desire to call especial atten- 
tion to tho line quality of their Superfine 
Italian Rye Grass, supplied in large quan- 
tities to the leading Sewage Farms in the 
United Kingdom, with surprising results. 
At the Lodge Farm, Barking, it. is computed 
that sixty tons (or more) per acre mill be the 
produce daring twelve months, or an average 
(in six cuttings) of ten tons each cutting. Sow 
4 bushels per acre. Price 7s. C d. per bushel. 
BROMUS SCHRODERI, 
FOR PRESENT SOWING. 
J. 0. & Co. have constantly urged tho value of this 
plant to Agriculturists, and are gratified to learn from 
many correspondents of their successful experiments. 
Bromus Schroderi is now recommended to be sown 
with Trifolium or Tares , with advantage to both crops. 
Tho Bromus, from its robust habit of growth, is woll 
adapted to support the more slender Trifolium or Vetch, 
whilst tho protection afforded the Bromus by the under- 
growth of Trifolium during the winter will be of material 
advantage, anti still further encourage the growth of tho 
Bromus throughout the winter. 
Bromus Schroderi is a valuablo forage plant, and is 
greedily consumed by all kinds of stock. 
Sow 2 to 3 bushels per acre (if alone). 
Price 14s. per bushel.
