QUANTITY OF GRASS SEEDS PER ACRE 



15 



The remarks concerning Tables II. and III. are also applicable to Tables IV. and V., 

 except that Onobrychis sativa should be lessened by at least one-half, its foliage being 

 coarse and unsightly. On warm dry banks, cowslip seed (^Primula verts) may be scattered 

 at the rate of from \ lb. to ^ lb. per acre ; and on such parts as are overshadowed by 

 trees, a further quantity of Poa nemoralis, and its variety, sempervirens, should be added, 

 at the rate of from 2 lb. to 4 lb. per acre ; while on very dry banks the introduction of 

 from I lb. to 2 lb. each of Agrostis vulgaris, Poa pratensis, and the deeper rooting 

 varieties of Festuca durittscula, or F. rubra, would prove a guarantee against the destruc- 

 tion of the pasture by severe droughts.
