QUANTITY OF GRASS SEEDS PER ACRE 



When desirable, the expense of the above mixture may be decreased a few shillings per 

 acre, by excluding the A lopeeurus pratcnsis (which is only recommended in consideration 

 of its earliness), and half of the Lotus major; under most circumstances, however, it will 

 be advisable to retain the full quantity of the latter, not only from its being the best 

 adapted of the clover tribe for withstanding excess of moisture, but also from its attaining 

 to full maturity at a late period of the season, when the growth of the grasses, generally 

 becomes more vigorous. 



VIII. FOR PERMANENT PASTURE AND HAY, IN ORCHARDS AND 

 OTHER GROUNDS MUCH OVERSHADED BY TREES 



Where the appearance of coarse growing grasses is objectionable, Dactylis glomerata, 

 Festuca elatior, and Phleum pratense, may either be lessened in quantity or entirely ex- 

 cluded, and substituted by an increase of about two-thirds of their weight of Festuca 

 duriuscula, and the three species of Poa. 



IX. FOR PASTURAGE AND COVER IN THICK SHADY WOODS AND 



PLANTATIONS
