ON THE CULTIVATED GRASSES 



For banks of rivers, subject to occasional overflowings, but where the soil is of a dry 

 porous nature, on an open gravelly subsoil, a mixture approximating to that in Table II. 

 may be used; and the more aquatic grasses, as Poa fluitans, P. aquatica, and Phalaris 

 anmdinacea, excluded. The two last of these are, however, very useful for preventing the 

 encroachment of rapid running rivers or streams on alluvial haughs, &c. 



XIV.— FOR WARRENS OR LIGHT SANDY LINKS 



To which may be added, in certain cases, 2 lb. of whin ( Ulex europaus), and i lb. of 

 broom seed (Cytisus scoparius). From 2 to 3 lb. of lucem seed {Medicago sativa) may 

 also be used when the sand is of a calcareous nature, or mixed with fragments of sea 

 shells. In all cases, the mixture should be sown with a bushel of barley or rye, for the 

 purpose of sheltering the young plants from the scorching droughts and winds to which 

 they will be exposed in such soils. 



XV.— FOR DRY GRAVELLY SITUATIONS, WHICH RESIST A SWARD 

 FROM ALL ORDINARY MEANS 



The remarks appended to the last are also appHcable to this Table.
