LAWN AT BRIAR CREST SOWN WITH MAULE’S EXTRA LAWN GRASS MIXTURE. 
The purpose of each is suggested by its name. 
Maule’s Extra Lawn Grass Mixture 
This mixture will insure a beautiful, compact, evergreen sod on any 
lawn where the essential requirements of grass culture have been com- 
plied with. Its component parts are the grasses peculiarly adapted to 
lawns and door yards, including choice selected strains of Kentucky 
Blue, etc., along with the best known creeping or sod forming 
sorts. We have included a little white clover in the mixture, regarding 
it as essential, but will omit it on special request. Timothy and orchard 
grass are wholly excluded, on account of their coarse leaves, and only 
fine sorts are employed. Full provision is made for a succession of 
growth, so that there shall be no break in the richness of the verdure 
from spring until autumn, and experience proves that Maule’s Extra 
Lawn Grass Mixture is now perfect. Nothing better can be purchased 
on the American market, no matter what claims may be advanced by 
other seedsmen. Our friends will please note that this seedis sold by 
the bushel of 20 pounds, while some seedsmen sell a bushel weighing 
only 14 pounds. This is because we employ the choicest and heaviest 
strains of grass seed in making the mixture. As to preparation of the 
soil, we recommend a thorough working and manuring to a depth of 8 
or 9 inches, and a regular semi-annual application of top dressing after- 
ward. It is a good practice to use well-rotted stable manure in the 
autumn and a complete fertilizer carrying potash, like Maule’s Pan- 
mure Plant Food, in the spring; also, to renovate the lawn every spring 
with a little fresh seed, using a quarter ora third the quantity employed 
in the original seeding. Grass seed should be sown in April or Sep- 
tember. Use 1 quart to 300 square feet of ground, or 1 bushel will sow 
a plot 100 feet wide and 108 feet long or 5 bushels per acre. Maule’s 
Extra Lawn Grass Mixture cannot be excelled for quality and vitality. 
Quart, 25 cents; 2 quarts, 45 cents; 5 quarts, $1.00, postpaid. 
By express or freight, not prepaid, peck, $1.25; bushel (20 lbs.), 
$4.50: 5 bushels or more, $4.25 per bushel. 
Maule’s Fair Green Golf Mixture 
This mixture is compounded to produce a tough sod that will resist 
tramping and hard usage. Year after year we 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 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 cts.3 2 qts., 45 cts.; 5 qts., $1.00, post- 
paid. By express or freight, not prepaid, peck, 85 cts.; bushel 
(15 lbs.), $3.00; 10 bushels, $27.50; 100 bushels, $2.50 per bushel. 
Maule’s Putting Green Golf Mixture 
It is impossible to have a putting green too much like a piece of vel- 
vet, and we have been careful inthe preparation of this mixture to select 
the finest blend and most hardy of the low growing grasses and have 
only to urge upon the owners of golf grounds to see that the putting 
greens are fertilized twice a year (early spring and late fall) with finely 
ground bone meal; or (in the autumn) with rotted manure passed 
through a fine screen. With a proper preparation of the soil in 
advance of growing the seed, and with good after treatment, no better 
or more beautiful results can possibly be secured than with Maule’s 
Putting Green Golf Mixture. In sowing Putting Greens it is wise econ- 
omy to sow liberally at the rate of fully 20 pounds to 10,000 square feet. 
Quart, 35 cts.; 2 quarts, 60 cts.; 5 quarts, $1.25, postpaid. By 
express or freight, not prepaid, peck, $1.50; bushel (20 Ibs.), 
$5.50; 5 bushels, $26.00; 10 bushels, $50.00. 
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. The grasses produce strong, spreading 
roots, thus preventing heavy rains from washing them out; will 
withstand exposure, thrives on shallow soils, and at the same time 
produces a rich, velvety green turf throughout the season. Quart, 30 
centss 2 quarts 50 cents; 5 quarts, $1.10, postpaid. By express or 
freight, not prepaid, peck, $1.25; bushel (20 pounds), $4.75.
