ON THE CULTIVATED GRASSES 



VI. FOR FINE LAWNS, CROQUET GREENS, BOWLING GREENS, 

 BLEACHING GREENS, &c. 



KEPT CONSTANTLY UNDER THE SCYTHE. 



In cases where primary expense is deemed secondary to ultimate effect, 2 Ib. Poa 

 nemoralis sempervirens may be added to each of the above columns ; and where the 

 ground is much shaded by trees, the above quantity of that variety and the same of Poa 

 nemoralis should be substituted for similar quantities of Festuca tenuifolia and Avena 

 flavescens, such quantities being dependent on the extent and depth of the shade. 



In walks, bowling greens, &c., which are wished to be kept as dry as possible, especi- 

 ally towards the end of the season, Trifolium repens should be sparingly introduced, and 

 Cynosurus cristatus and Festuca duriuscula substituted for it weight by weight ; and when 

 it is intended to mow the grass by machine, instead of the common scythe, greater pro- 

 portions of Festuca duriuscula and F. tenuifolia may be sown.
