This mixture will resist tlie effects of onr severe droughts 

 bettor than those commonly used for lawns. If any thing is 

 omitted from it, the red and perennial clovers, the yellow oat 

 grass and a part of the rye grass could best be spared. 



If tlic farmer wishes to seed down for only a year or two 

 and tlieii to break up again, the following is a good mixture. 

 [Table XIX.] 



if the soil be moist or peaty two or three pounds of fowl 

 meadow, (^poa serotina,') should be added. Some would prefer 

 another mixture for permanent lawn pastures, as found in table 

 XX. 



If a fniQ lawn is wanted where extra attention will be paid to 

 rolling and mowing, the mixture given in table XXI. will do well. 



A mixture is often wanted for orchards or shaded fields 

 similar to that recpmmended in table XXIL
