in that time, and for two or three years' lay. care has 
been taken to retiiu-e the quantities, or exclude al- 
together, some kinds, whieh, though usually recom- 
mended and sown for these crops, do not endure in 
the land for so long a period. A three <jr four years' 
lay sown with such grasses and clovers, that are only 
of annual or biennial duration, must be either very 
■ thin or foul at the end of the period for which it was 
laid ; whereas, if a proper selection of these varieties 
capable of lasting the whole of the desired period were 
sown, the lay would remain in full plant, free from 
weeds or objectionable grasses, and be more proiit- 
,able during the whole time the land is m grass. 
There is an increasing demand for grass seeds for 
remaining down for two or more years, and, m the 
present liepressed condition of agriculture, the svstem 
ot extending the period during which rotation grasses 
remain down has many advantages, while the cost of 
suitable seeds is much less than those for permanent 
jiasture. 
All the seeds used in the following Mixtures are 
*>f the FIN'KST QUAMTV, pure and true. Each variety 
will be sent separately when ordered in quantity to 
seed five acres or over, if so desired ; otherwise they 
will be mixed ready for use, the light and heavy seeds 
Iwmg kept separate, for the purpose of sowing at two 
casts. 
Quotations are given for the quantity of seed for an 
acre <as specified); for less quantity than to seed an 
Mere the pound prices are charged. No charge tor 
liags or sacks when seed for five or more acres arc 
ordered, unless ordered to be sent in separate kmds 
or in small quantities, then bags are charged extra.

These select mixtures of seeds are calculated to produce, on the 
various soils tor which they are adapted, a constant succession of all 
the best and most nutritious grasses and clovers, in suitable propor- 
tions, durinjf the entire season. They may seem expensive when 
compared with the price usually paid lor permanent pasture mixtures, 
largely composed of Rye Grass , but u should be borne in mind that 
such permanent mixtures have not been by any means satisfactory, 
as Rye Grass will not endure our seasons for more than the second 
season after sowing ; whereas selections ot the seeds given below 
will produce profitable pastures the first year after they have been 
laid down, and will increase m profitableness year by year, if ordi- 
nary care be given them. 
Quotations are for the price of seed tor an acre ; for less than will 
seed one acre, the pound prices are cUarged, No charge for bags or
