NUMBER, WEIGHT, COST OF GRASS SEEDS, AND 

 AMOUNT TO SOW PER ACRE. 



(Yearbook L^. S. Dept. of Agriculture ) 



[Columns i, y, 3, and 4 are compiled from " The Best Forage Plants," by 

 6tebler and Schroeter. The figures in column 5 are obtained by multi- 

 plying the amount of standard quality of seed required (col. 2) by the retail 

 price quoted ia X. Y. catalogues. The weight of 10,003.000 grains (col. 6) 

 is obtained by dividing this quantity by the numbei of seeds in one pound 

 (col. i).]
