The Clyde RobinS« Company, one of the first to offer wildflower seeds, suggests: pounds of seed per acre if the land already has some trees a shrubs; 8 pounds per acre on cleared land; and for truly lush grow 15 pounds per acre on flat land and up to 20 pounds on steep slop They also suggest that an average city lot of 50 by 150 feet nei about 1 1/2 pounds of seed. Remember to mix the seed with finely screened soil in order to spread it more evenly.
