IMPROVEMENT OF GRASS LANDS. 
SUTTON’S RENOVATING GRASS SEEDS FOR 
IMPROVING OLD PASTURES.—Many Old Upland Pastures, Parks, 
and Meadows, are nearly destitute of Clovers and the finer and more 
nutritious sorts of Grasses, in which case we are in the practice of 
furnishing sucli sorts only as are wanting. If the Seeds are sown early 
in the season , the improvement in the Pasture will be very considerable, 
and at a small expense. 
The following is similar to many other letters received from former 
purchasers :— 
From D. T. Cunynghame, Esq.y Wellesbourne, Warwick, Nov. 1852. 
“ The meadows that were renovated with your Seeds are looking 
very well. I cut nearly 2 tons of hay to the acre, and three years ago 
the same land hardly produced half-a-ton per acre. The Garden 
Seeds I have had from you exceed by far any that I have bought else¬ 
where.” 
Quantity of Seed required , 8 lbs, to 12 lbs. per acre. Price Is. per lb., 
Carriage Free. 
Address, JOHN SUTTON & SONS, Seed Growers, Reading, Berks.
