when the earth can be properly prepared for the reception of 
the seeds, and the young herbage will r|uickly effect the pur-

Having been led into the present subject farther than we 
first intended, we have endeavoured to obtain every sort of 
information which may be likely to facilitate the ready attain- 
ment of permanent pastures by those who desire to practice 
the method we advocate. In a communication with which 
we have been favoured by IMessrs. Cormack, Son, ^nd Com- 
pany, of New Cross Nursery, Kent, (in which firm the late 
George Sinclair before-mentioned, was a partner) we are in- 
formed that they sup[)ly grass seeds, mixed of fifteen or six- 
teen species, duly proportioned according to the nature of the 
soil on which they are to be sown. The quantity recommended 
is from three bushels to three bushels and a half per acre ; the 
price thirteen shillings and sixpence per bushel, for pasture 
seeds ; and the finer sorts, for Lawns, eighteen shillings per 
bushel. 
156 Strawberry, annual planting of. It has long been the 
practice of some horticulturists to break up their Strawberry 
beds after gathering the first year’s produce, and consequently 
of planting fresh beds annually. The recommendation of this 
mode of culture to general adoption may require to be some- 
what qualified; still, we believe, that in light rich soils, with due 
attention, more abundant crops, and finer fruit, can be produced 
by this than by any other method of cultivation. Strong soils, 
in which the Strawberry is not unfrequently grown with great 
success, in beds of many years’ standing, will require due ame- 
lioration before they can be expected to afford all the advan- 
tages consequent on annual planting. This arises simply from 
the young plants requiring more time to become well-established 
iw aoctabidm.
