MIXTURE FOB RECLAIMED SWAMPS. 



is made for bad seed ; but if the purchaser is confident 

 the seed is good, from a careful trial as recommended on 

 a previous page, two pounds may be omitted from the 

 Timothy, one from the redtop, and either the Italian or 

 the perennial rye grass may be omitted altogether. 



The foregoing mixtures are designed rather for a 

 medium, or a good, well-cultivated soil. For light, 

 sandy soils, they should be varied by the use of such 

 grasses and proportions as have been found to do best 

 on such places. The following will be valuable as a 



Mixture for Mowing on Light Lands.

In southern latitudes the mixture might perhaps be 

 improved by the use of the gramma grasses (Boute- 

 loua), or by the gama or sesame grass (Tripsacum), 

 instead of the perennial rye grass. The following is
