Three Permanent Pasture Mixtures. tion ise sO 
grasses produces a better mowing field and subsequent permanent pasture 
than a mere combination of timothy and red Glover. The former will 
last five times as long as the latter. Timothy “runs out” in a couple of 
years or so, while a good permanent pasture will last ten or even twenty § 
years. This has been trequently and forcibly shown by experience. & 
My compieted mixtures are sold in two parts, one containing grass 
seeds and the other clover seeds, to be sown separately, on account of 
their different weights. The grass seeds may be sown in spring or fall; 
the c over seeds preferably in the spring. In preparing the permanent 
asture grass mixtures I employ mainly Kentucky Blue, Timothy, :- 
ing ish Rye, Italian Rye, Red Top or Herd, Orchard, Tall Meadow Oat, = 
Meadow Foxtail, Meadow Fescue, Hard Fescue, Tall Fescue, Rough 
Stalk Meadow, Canadian Blue, Awnless Brome, Creeping Bent, Sweet 
Vernal, ete. In the clover mixture I employ Red, Mammoth, Alsike 
and White. A few of these components will disappear in two or three 
years, but the others are absolutely permanent. I vary the proportions 
to suit different situations.

Best and Most Fattening Sheep Forage Known. 
This is the best autumn sheep forage known, and is also used for pigs 
and dairy cows with success and profit. Under favorable circumstances 
it is ready for pasturage in six weeks from the time of sowing. One acre 
of good rape will carry a flock of a dozen sheep for two months. Rape is 
a plant of the cabbage family, requiring the same cultural treatment as 
the turnip. It is grown exclusively for its leaves. Stock should be fed 
alternately on grass and rape; noton rapeexclusively. Rape-fed animals 
should have free access to salt. The seed should be sown in May, for 
midsummer pasturage; or any time before the end of August (at the 
North) for autumn pasturage. In the Southern States the best sowing 
time is September or October. Rape is a plant which loves cool weather, 
and thrives better in autumn than in midsummer. The seed should be 
used at the rate of 8 pounds per acre in drills, or 5 to 10 pounds per acre 
broadcast. Rape is one of the best and most fattening of forage plants. 
especially for sheep. The leaves are so succulent and juicy that the 
animals will require little or no water, but salt is quite necessary, as 
above stated. Rape is an excellent green manure for plowing down. Its 
use in this country is becoming very general, especially in sheep raising 
sections. Packet, 10 cts.; pound, 25 cts.; 5 pounds, $1.00, postpaid. 
By express or freight, mot prepaid, 25 lbs., $2.00; 100 Ibs., $7.50.

A Wonderful 
New Grain. 
This remarkable grain partakes somewhat of the nature of wheat 
and somewhat of the nature of barley. It has been grown for centuries 
in Russia, near the Caspian Sea. It was recently brought to this coun- 
for feeding, making a grade somewhat similar to rye. The straw resem- 
bles wheat straw. It grows large crops—40 to 80 bushels per acre—on 
comparatively poor soil, and it is said to give full double the crop of 
try by an emigrant, and has already attracted very wide attention on | barley. It resists drought successfully, and is adapted to Northern 
account of its merits. The grain is intermediate between wheat and | latitudes. Sow in the spring or in the fall at the rate of one bushel 
barley. The chaff adheres to the grain when threshed, and is fed in| per acre. Packet. 10 cts.; pound, 30 cts.; 3 pounds, 75 cts., post- 
hat condition to stock. It is adapted for milling purposes, as well as| paid. By ex. or fgt., not prepaid, pk., 50 cts.; bu. (44 lbs.), $1.50. 
I wish to impress upon all my friends and customers that while my main office 
in Philadelphia is 1711 FILBERT STREET 
if at any time they should forget my street address, a letter addressed 
Wm. Henry Maule, Philadelphia 
is always sure to reach me. Receiving as | do 5,000 and 6,000 letters some days, 
there is not a Post Office in any County in the United States that does not know 
= MAULE = 
so if this catalogue becomes mislaid, all any one has to do in order to send me a 
letter is to remember three words 
“Maule’s Seeds” and “Philadelphia” 
and they can reach me just as quickly as if they gave my full address 
Wm. Henry Maule, 1711 Filbert St., Phila., Pa., U. S. A.
