clover {Trifolium repens). It is now the third year, and the sward 

 is much improved, and superior in the quantity of produce to that 

 of the original pasture.* This, and several other experiments on 

 rather a smaller scale, conducted with much care and impartiality

 drawn from the results of the experiments detailed in the foregoing 

 pages. 



* Since the above was first printed, this pasture has fiiUy supported the 

 character then given of it. Here the advantages of eight years' heavy annual 

 crops, and a pasture highly improved, are the results of this trial ; and which 

 would have been even more valuable, had not the want, at the time, of a greater 

 variety of the seeds of the different species of the superior grasses, prevented the 

 full complement of the essential grasses being sown.
