Pastl'ri£s IX New York. 5^i 



This plot has not differed in any essential respects from the previous 

 plot during the experiment. Plot ii is on the brow of the hill where the 

 soil is not so good as it is on the level parts. 



PLOT 13 



8 lbs. Kentucky bl-ue-grass 6 lbs. orchard grass 



8 lbs. red-top 6 lbs. meadcnv fescue 



6 lbs. timothy 6 lbs. meadow foxtail 



Timothy and red-top soon became the predominating grasses in this 

 plot. At the end of the first year there was also a fair amount of Kentucky 

 blue-grass. Meadow fescue and meadow foxtail were scarcely noticeable. 

 Orchard grass was present in small amounts. 



By June, 1907, meadow foxtail had become prominent. This has 

 persisted until the present time and appears to be increasing in 

 numbers. 



Plot 13 is now largely Kentucky blue-grass in common with all plots 

 which received seeds of this grass. 



PLOT 14 



6 lbs. Kentucky blue-grass 6 lbs. red-top 



5 lbs. meadow fescue 5 lbs. timothy 



3 lbs. smooth bxome 2 lbs. perennial rye 



5 lbs. meadow foxtail i lb. tall oat-grass 



5 lbs. orchard grass i lb. hard fescue 



Red-top and timothy were the most prominent on this plot at the end 

 of the first year of the experiment. No plants of perennial rye, meadow 

 foxtail, smooth brome or hard fescue were observed. Two years after- 

 wards Kentucky blue-grass, meadow foxtail and orchard-grass became 

 important. At the present time there is a good stand of Kentucky 

 blue-grass. 



Perennial rye has not been observed on this plot at any time. Tall 

 oat-grass appeared very sparingly at first and persisted for three or 

 four years. There is now none present. 



This plot has been good from the start, but the chief grasses of value 

 have been timothy, Kentucky blue-grass and red-top. Orchard-grass did 

 not appear to add materially to the herbage.
