then the amount to sow will not be 3 pounds, but 3 x 100 divided 

 by 90 = about 3 pounds 5 ounces. 



In Table II, column 7, will be found the weight of commercial 

 seed of average "real value" which is sufficient to sow one acre.

In Tables III, IV, and V are given a few examples of mixtures 

 suitable for different purposes. The percentage of the total area 

 allotted to each species is given, and from this the actual weight 

 of seed to be sown can be readily calculated from Table II. It 

 must be clearly understood that these are given only as examples.
