clover (Trifolium repens). It is now the third year, and the sward 

 is much improved, and superior in the quantity of produce to that 

 of the original pasture.* This, and several other experiments on 

 rather a smaller scale, conducted with much care and impartiality

 as far as they go, the truth of the conclusions that had been 

 drawn from the results of the experiments detailed in the foregoing 



* Since the above was first printed, this pasture has fully supported the 

 character then given of it. Here the advantages of eight years' heavy annual 

 crops, and a pasture highly improved, are the results of this trial ; and which 

 would have been even more valuable, had not the want, at the time, of a greater 

 variety of the seeds of the different species of the superior grasses, prevented the 

 full complement of the essential grasses being sown.
