MAULE’S SHADY LAWN MIXTURE. 
This mixture is intended for all situations that are in partial or com- 
plete shade, and will be found invaluable on grounds lying under the 
shadows of trees or buildings. In preparing such places for the recep- 
tion of grass seeds it is well to use air slaked lime quite liberally (50 
The lime sweetens the land and wonderfully aids 
the growth of the grass. Lime will be found particularly effective in 
open woodlands where grass is desired. This mixture is peculiarly 
adapted to its purpose. Quart, 35 cts.; 2 quarts, 60 cts. By express 
or freight, not prepaid, peck, $1.75; bushel (15 Ibs.), $6.00. 
MAULE’S STEEP SLOPE MIXTURE. 
This is for banks, terraces, steep or exposed slopes and bare spots in 
general; in fact, for any place, however dry, stony or barren. It will 
produce a sod that is absolutely proof against heat or drought, and that 
cannot be injured by cold. I recommend, however, the same fair treat- 
ment elsewhere asked for; that is, semi-annual top dressings of fertili- 
zers or manures, in order to maintain the vigor of the grasses. Quart, 
30 cents; 2 quarts, 50 cents, postpaid. By express or freight, 
not prepaid, peck, $1.50; bushel (15 pounds), $4.50. 
MAULE’S FAIR GREENS GOLF MIXTURE. 
This mixture is compounded to produce a tough sod that will resist 
tramping and hard usage. Year after year I have supplied this seed to 
the most prominent golf clubs in the country. It is made up mainly of 
hardy, low growing, creeping grasses, which thrive under adversity; 
that is, grasses which are not hurt by constant mowing and ceaseless 
wear. This mixture will produce a rich green turf; a turf which asks 
only for a semi-annual top dressing of fertilizer to last indefinitely. 
Seed should be applied in liberal amounts; fully 75 pounds per acre. Qt., 
25¢.; 2 qts.,45c., postpaid. By express or freight, not prepaid, — 
pk., 75c.; bu. (15 Ibs.), $2.75; 4 bus., $10; 100 bus., $2.25 per bu.
