The formulae give proportions to be used on one acre. 

 Blue grass (Poa pratensis) 16 quarts. 

 Timothy (Phleum pratense) 4 quarts. 

 Red top (Agrostis vulgaris) 8 quarts. 

 White Clover, (Trifolium repens) 2 quarts. 

 If orchard grass (dactylis glomerata) is substituted for timothy 

 and red top, one bushel will be required. 



Timothy and clover make a good combination by using 14 to 16 

 quarts of the first to 8 quarts of the latter per acre. Timothy is 

 sown in spring with barley or wheat and clover in March or April 

 with Spring wheat. Light dry soils require more seed than moist 

 lands. Seed shouJd not be spared if a thick growth of grass of fine 

 quality is desired. In preparing the land for this mixture and ah 

 others it is always best to have it thoroughly cleared from all weeds 



Another mixture is as follows : 

 Red clover ( Trefolium pratense) 8 lbs. or 4 quarts. 

 Timothy (Phleum pratensis) 8 quarts. 

 Red top (Agrostis vulgaris) 1 bushel. 

 When the land is unfavorable for clover, this seed should be 

 omitted and the herds grass increased to 12 quarts and red top to 5 

 p ecks. 



Another furmula for land of medium quality and tolerable dry- 

 ness: 



Red clover (Trifolium pratense) 2 quarts. 

 White clover (Trifolium repens) 2 " 

 Blue grass (Poa pratensis) 8 ' ' 



Red top {Agrostis vulgaris) 2 pecks. 



Timothy (Phleum pratensis) I peck. 

 Red clover should be omitted on wet land and red top increased. 



An excellent formula for making a permanent lawn is as fol- 

 lows: 



Red top, 1 bushel. 

 June grass, 2 bushels. 

 Orchard grass, 1 bushel. 

 White clover, | pound. 



Formula for general pasture and stiff lands: 

 Orchard grass, \\ bushels. 

 Red clover, 12 pounds. 



The above formulae may be changed with considerable advantage
