Cricket Grounds. 
Price 25S. per bushel ; 3s. 3d. per gallon ; Is. 3d. per lb. 
The seed may be sown on a new ground at the rate of 4 bushels per acre, as soon as we are in touch with spring — after the March winds have spent then- 
force. Under the showers of April the young grass will grow with amazing rapidity, and with careful mowing and attention the ground should be lit for play 
an June or July. On a worn ground, where the grass is thin, the seeds may be sown during February or March, at the rate of 1 to 2 bushels per acre, and the 
pitch should be ready to play on as soon as the season opeus.

Under Trees or in Shaded Places. 
We are frequently asked for a prescription of Grass Seeds that will produce herbage likely to thrive in situations generally denuded of growth, 
such as under Trees or on Lawns that are in a confined place, and upon which the sun and air cannot exert their influences, ft would be presumption on 
our part to lead our customers to be ieve that we can cover such spots with a close velvety turf such as exists in the more exposed portion of their I.awn. 
At the same time, there is no getting away from the fact that certain grasses will thrive in shaded situations, as witness the close under-growth in old 
copses, along green drives, and under established plantations, where is frequently to be found quite a verdant carpet ; and it is these self-same species of 
vrasses that we use in our prescriptions. The soil under over-shadowing trees is generally oi the poorest description, the roots having taken all the 
nourishment out of it. Consequently, before sowing, it is necessary to loosen the surface and rake it smooth, sprinkle manure, then roll. Next scratch 
the surface lightly with a rake, sow the seed thickly', rake again in an opposite direction, tnen well roll down the whole. If dry weather prevails, a good 
soaking of water is essential, and more if the hot weather continues. Constant dripping from the branches is very detrimental to grass under the trees, 
as it rots their fibrous roots, and the growth wilts away.

Golf Links and Pyttang Greens. 
We have on our permanent staff a certificated botanist and expert in grasses who has already visited many of the leading golf 
links in the country. He is always able to give useful hints to those in charge of the gieens, &c., as to the glasses that are likely to 
wear and thrive successfully, and the manures that will give the most beneficial results upon the soil of the locality. We charge his 
■out-of-pocket expenses only, when sent to advise. 
Carters Special Prescription of close-growing grasses for putting greens contains the finest-leaved grasses only, mixed in propoitions to suit the particu¬ 
lar soil upon which seeds are intended to be sown. It is an advantage in the preparation of the prescription if we can have a turf from the green for analysis. 
This enables us to send the same species that arc natural to the locality. The putting green can then be renovated with grasses of the same texture and colour 
as already exist. It is very important that we should see either the green or a turf.
