The Illustrated Guide for Amateur Gardeners. 
DANIELS’ SUPERIOR GRASS SEEDS FOR LAWNS, &c. 
nv~ For many years we have given close attention to the selection of the most suitable Grasses for producing the best Lawns, Tennis Courts, Cricket 
Grounds, Golf Links, &c., and we have much pleasure in recommending the splendid mixtures we offer as the very best procurable for the purposes named. 
March and April are the best months for sowing in Spring. September and early October for Autumn sowing. For renovating existing lawns, lightly rake 
the worst places and bare patches, then sow our Peerless Mixtures (No. 5 or 8) at the rate of half-pound to the rod, or more thickly if the lawn is very 
bare ; apply a thin sprinkling of finely sifted soil, and roll with a light garden roller ; protect the newly sown parts from birds.

SHALLOTS. 
Cultivation.— -Shallots should be planted as early in the new year as 
weather permits in good rioh well-manured soil, use well rotted manure 
when obtainable as they thrive mnoh better in this. It is still better if 
possible to plant on ground that was plentifully manured the previous 
year. Plant in rows about 1 foot apart and 6 to 8 inohes apart in the 
row, do not bury deeply. It is essential that they should be kept free 
from weeds. When the leaves begin to wither about July, pull up and 
leave them to dry on the ground for a few days, after whioh store in a dry 
place, turn them over occasionally and remove any that show signs of 
decay. They are considered much superior to onions for pickling.
