FLAX. sample of flax, 42 inches long, grown from Riga seed by Mr. M'ALISON, near Caledon, on the estate of Mr. JAMES STRONG, Bart. Our informant states that the sample was taken from a crop covering seven acres, and is a fair specimen of the whole. The seed was bought from RICHARDSON, Brothers & Co., Belfast, by Mr. M'ALISON, who was able to supply most of the tenants on the estate ; and it has given general satisfaction.
