William Parry, the distinguished nurseryman

one of the most Intelligent members Of the pro-

these has always rested his conspicuous success.
We are always sure that there il merit in what
ever he may recommend, and wonld never hesi-
tate to purchase of him any speciality he may
take in hand. Thus for instance, he at once
secured the famous Herstine raspberry, and fol-
lowed it up the Monarch of the West" straw

Sowing Grass Seed Alone


Mr.. Charles l.. Flint, the well known wri
ter on grasses, advocates their seeding alone
and generally late in summer or fall and as
serts--
LIST. That early fall seeding without grail
should be adopted in practice in preference,
to seeding in spring
ID. That, as a general rule, it is poor
economy to take any grain crop either witt
or Immediately preceding the seeding dow
to grass. That the grass heing the ultimate
aud paying crop, it is bad practice to roduc,
the land by the draft which grain crop make
upon it.
Sd. That wherever from any local reason
it becomes desirable to take crop Of spring
e. ain, it is more economical to SOW the grain
alone in the spring, and to pillow up the stub
BILE aud sow the grass seed alone ia the early
fall.
4th. That in cases where il seems desirable
to SOW grass seed in spring, it is better to
SOW it alone and let it take its chance, with
out compelling ii to struggle for existence
under the disadvantages Of grain or any
other crop.
9th. That 10 seeding down in August OF
early in September, we are following nature
as to time, and that, unless the ground is al.
ready rich and 10 high condition, it is uecos.
sary to give the seed the benefit Of an ap,
plieation Of manure on or near the surface Il
which the seed is applied.
9th. That in the selection of seed for NOV.
ing lots and hay, we should choose varieties
to mix that blossom at or nearly at the same
time, aud not mix very early and very late
varieties together.
These propositions are clear and easily un.
derstood. | believe their adoption and ap.
plication 10 practice upon every farm 10 Yer.
mont would largely increase the grass and
hay crop aud materially promote the pros.
perity OF our agriculture.
