QUANTITY OF GRASS SEEDS PER ACRE 



19 



When such grounds are subject to occasional overflowings by fresh water, it will be 

 expedient to add 2 lb. or 3 lb. of Poa fluitans, and increase the quantities of A^rosiis 

 stolonifera, Phleum pratense, Poa trivialis, and Lotus major; in which case a proportionate 

 decrease should be made in the seeds of Lolium italicum, L. perenne, and TrifoHum 

 pratmse. 



XII.— FOR COVERING ROCKY, GRAVELLY, AND OTHER SOILS OF THE 



WORST DESCRIPTION 



In proportion as the soil may be intermediate between those for which the above mix- 

 tures are recommended, a discretion must be observed in increasing or diminishing the 

 quantities of the seeds enumerated. 



XIII.— FOR MARSHY GROUNDS, AND THOSE OCCASIONALLY OVER- 

 FLOWED BY FRESH WATER TIDES
