In addition to the objections made to the two former mixtures 

 -are the following : 



Sheep's fescue and hard fescue grow in tufts or bunches and 

 will not produce a lawn of even appearance. The red or mam- 

 moth clover will also produce a coarse patchy lawn, and the 

 former will die out in two or three years. Italian rye grass will 

 kill out the first winter. Hair grass is a weed substituted for 

 crested dog's tail, which is a feeble grass of no value in this 

 country.
