SEED MIXTURES FOR SPECIAL PURPOSES IO7 



Of course grasses that are particularly 

 adapted to sandy soils must be omitted here. 

 Fortunately Kentucky blue grass will thrive on 

 moist soils, and should form a very large per- 

 centage of the mixture. In order to keep out 

 the weeds a fair percentage of the quickly 

 growing rye grass is included. The rough 

 stalk meadow grass is essentially a wet land 

 grass and will thrive nowhere else. 



Mixture for Hill Tops 



Kentucky blue grass 40 per cent. 



Rhode Island bent 25 " " 



Creeping bent 20 " " 



Sheep fescue 10 " " 



White clover 05 " " 



To a certain extent the same grasses as are 

 recommended for terrace mixture may be 

 used on hill tops, provided the situation has a 

 good soil and does not become unduly dry. 

 Rapidly creeping, binding grasses are essential, 

 and white clover should never be omitted 

 because it will make a quick growth and 

 carpet the ground in places where the grasses 

 fail to make a stand.
