The plottests asshown have beenconfined to the clovers. 
red, mammoth and alsike, and the grasses, timothy, red 
top, bromus inermus, orchard grass, rye grass and agropy- 
rum. Small gardentests have been made of other kinds, but 
none have given promise sufficient to warrant their use in 
preference to the above. Neither rye grass nor orchard grass. 
have shown any valuable qualities. The yield of orchard, 
grass both in tables CI and CII is seen to be nearly nothing 
and the plot is soon invaded by other grasses. Orchard 
grass appears to have some value as a lawn grass, as it 
catches and forms a sod, but it does not produce hay. Bro- 
mus inermis, or brome grass, which has been widely recom- 
mended for dry sections with good soils, has not been a suc- 
cess when sown alone, in the trials thus far made. It is not 
a complete failure, like orchard grass, but it does not thicken 
up to produce a large crop. It would be of more possible use 
on droughty soils than on low soils well supplied with mois- 
ture. Forinstance,in Table CI the yields on old land, sandy 
and rather dry, averaged for three years .93 tons against 
.74 tons for timothy, while in Table CII on lower and better
