CRIMSON OR SCARLET CLOVER. The last few years has witnessed a regular boom in this seed all over 

 thecouotry and is now recognized boili by experimental stations and cull vators of the soil as a money making 

 crop in many ways. Grows from 1 to 2 feet high, has strong upright stems, large cone-shaped heads of a beautiful 

 crimson hue. Roots penetrate the soil to a good depth hence of much value in fertilizing light and worn lands. An 

 annual, making its principle growth in autumn and spring. If sown in the early spring will give a good yield of 

 hay the same season. It is a common practice to sow it in the standing corn after the last working, and in 

 tomato fields, etc.; but it may very well be sown alone on land from which some crop has been reaped after the 

 same has been plowed. Sown in summer or autumn is ready 

 for harvesting towards the close of spring or the advent of 

 summer and is cut for hay at the same stage of growth as com- 

 mon red clover. It will provide pasture and excellent soil- 

 ing food early in the season, and for green manure to be 

 plowed under for another crop the same season, there is noth- 

 ing better. Very useful for renovating orchards in which it 

 will furnish a soft clean bed for fruit to fall upon; also has a 

 tendency to bind drift soils and prevents washing on hillsides. 

 51y seed is American grown; all new crop of high germinating' 

 quality and for either spring or fall planting you 

 cannot do better than send in your order now. 

 Packet, 10 cents; pound, 30 cents; 3 pounds, 75 cents, 

 postpaid. By express or freight, peck, SI.25; bu., $4.00. 

 LUCERNE OR ALFALFA. One Of the best of 

 clovers, succeeding in almost any situation. Will 

 bear cutting three or four times during the seaso.n, 

 and yield on an average about six tons of forage 

 per acre. Especially adapted to the drought sections 

 as the roots extend a good depth in the soil, keeping 

 the plant fresh and green. For renewing worn out | 

 lands it is one of the best. Sow early In the spring, 

 to secure a good stand before winter, as while it is 

 very vigorous when established, the young plants are 

 inclined to be tender. Packet, 10 cts.; lb., 30 cts.; 

 3 lbs., 75 cts, by mail, postpaid. Bv express or" 

 freight, 20 cts. per lb.; S15.00 per 100 lbs. 



ESPARCET OR SAINFOIN. Grown ver.\ " 

 extensively in Europe on land where it is im- 

 possible to secure a stand of other grasses, but' 

 as yet is little known in this country. It is a 

 perennial, usually sown in the spring; equals 

 any clover in nutrition and flesh forming 

 qualities, and no grass grown requires so little 

 pains to cure. Thrives best on dry, chalky 

 and sandy soil. On heretofore barren wastes, 

 hen once thoroughly established, it has produced two abundant 

 crops in a season. Seed weighs 26 pounds to the bushel. Packet, 

 10 cts.; pound 30 cts., 3 pounds, 75 cts., postpaid. By express or freight, 

 15 cents per pound; SIO.OO per 100 pounds. 



RED CLOVER. Lb., 30 cts.; 3 lbs., 75 cts, postpaid. By express or 

 freight, peck, S1.7ri; bushel, S6.00.

 varieties; grows 5 to 6 feet high. Pound, 30 cts.; 3 pounds, 75 cts., post- 

 paid. By express or freight, peck, S1.75; bushel, $6.50. ; 

 ALSIKE CLOVER. A hardv perennial; thrives well on wet or dry ' 

 land. Lb., 30cts.; 3 lbs., 75 cts., postpaid. By ex. or freight. 100 lbs., $16.00. _ _

M. Ex. Lawn Grass. 



A country place, now-a-days, without its lawn of from one to five or 

 ten acres, is seldom seen, and it is no wonder, for what more beautiful 

 sight is there than a well kept, carefully mown lawn? But although a 

 good lawn may be beautiful, a poor one is about as ugly a siglit as one 

 cares to see. Appreciating this point, I have taken unusual pains with 

 my Lawn Grass Mixture, selecting nothing but the most desirable 

 grasses, that will give a luxriant growth, Spring, Summer and .\utumn, 

 always presenting the same green velvety appearance. With the ground 

 carefully prepared, graded and rolled, seed sown at the rate of 4 bushel 

 per acre, and the lawn then frequently mown and rolled, it is within the 

 reach of every one, at a trifling expeiise bv sowing Maule's Lawn grass, 

 to have as flne a lawn as one desires. Quart 2.5 cts.; 2 quarts, 40 cts., post- 

 paid. By express or freight, peck, $1.25; bushel, $4.00; 4 bushels, $15.00. 



Maule's Special Mixture for Permanent Pasture. 



This mixture of standard grasses is |iarticiilarly recoinnuMHU'd to 

 every fanner receiving this catalogue who desires to la.v any portion of 

 his farm to permanent pasture. 1 have prepared a mixture of grasses 

 for this purpose which I consider unequaled. It contains nothing hut 

 the most desirable varieties, such as will insure a heavy stand for a 

 number of years. Four bushels should be sown to the acre. Bushel, 

 S;1.00; 4 bushels, enough for 1 acre, SIO.OO. With this mixture, when in- 

 tended for either mowing lauds or pasture, should be also sown 10 

 pounds of mixed clover per acre, comprising White, Mammoth, .Msike^ 

 etc. 10 pounds of this mixed clover, with 4 bushels of Permanent Pas- 

 ture .Seed, is worth SI2.00, thus making a cost, for 5 or 6 years lay, the 

 trifling amount of *12 per acre. The clover being much the heavier 

 seed, it should be sown separately. State if for thin or heavy laud.
