WflULE^S STflNDflRD eBASS MIXTURES FOB ALL SITUATIONS, 



LAWN AT BRIAR CREST SOWN WITH MAULE'S EXTRA LAWN GRASS MIXTURE. 

 NOTB. — The following mixtures, based upon experience, will be found highly satisfactory. The purpose of each Is suggested by its nani 

 They are made of the best components to be had on the market. None but the liner grasses are employed, and only seeds that have been th| 

 oughly cleaned. I will cheerfully compowid grass mixtures to ordi^r. 



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 Kentuckj' 

 Blue, etc., along with the best known creeping or sod forming 

 sorts. I 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 

 line 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 JSxtra 

 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. My friends will please note that this seed is sold by 



the bushel of 2U pounds, while some seedsmen sell a bushel weighi 

 only 14 pounds. This is because 1 employ the choicest and heavl 

 strains of grass seed in making the mixture. As to preparation of 1, 

 soil, I recommend a thorough working and manuring to a depth of " 

 U Inches, and a regular semi-annual application of top dressing aft 

 ward. It is a good practice to use well-rotted stable manure in i 

 autumn and a complete fertilizer carrying potash, like Maule's P. 

 mure Plant Food, in the spring; also, to renovate the lawn every spr: 

 with a little fresh seed, using a quarter or a third the quantity emploj 

 in the original seeding. Grass seed should be sown in April or 8 

 tember. Use 1 quart to 200 square feet of ground, or 4 bus. per at 

 Maule's Extra Lawn Grass Mixture cannot be excelled for quality 

 vitality. Q,t., 25 cts.; 2 qts., 15 ets.; 5 qts., gl.OO, postpaid. By express 

 freight, not prepaid, peck, §1.25; bushel (20 lbs.), $4.ou; 4 bushels, S15.00,

MAULE'S PUTTING GREEN MIXTURE. 



It is impossible to have a putting green too much like a piece ot vel- 

 vet, and I have been careful in the preparation of this mixture to select 

 the finest blended 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 regularly 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 sowing the seed, and with good after treatment, no better 

 or more beautiful results can possibly be secuied than with Maule's 

 Putting Green Mixture, at the rate of fully 20 pounds to 10,000 square 

 feet. Quart, 30 cents; 2 quarts. 50 cents, postpaid. By express or 

 freight, not prepaid, peck, S1.50; bushel (20 pounds), 95.00.

MAULE'S QUICK RESULTS LAWN MIXTURE. 



This mixture is for producing an immediate greensward that will 

 followed by a good, permanent sod. It is especially to be recommen< 

 for late spring seeding, without a nurse crop. For early seedin; 

 would rather use Maule's Extra Lawn Grass Mixture, but after May 

 (in the latitude of Philadelphia) I wouid much prefer this one. It \ 

 make rapid growth, and will be ready to cut two weeks or more 

 advance of any other mixture which 1 offer; nor is it lacking in 

 manence. Qt., 25 cts.; 2 qts., 45 cts.; 5 qts., Sl.OO, postpaid. By expi 

 or freight, not prepaid, peck, $1.25; bushel (20 pounds), 64.00. 



MAULE'S SHADY LAWN MIXTURE. 



This mixture is intended for all situations that are in partial or C(, 

 plete shade, and will be found invaluable on grounds lying under 

 shadows of trees or buildings. In preparing such places for the rec 

 tlon of grass seeds it is well to use air slaked lime quite liberally 

 bushels to the acre). The lime sweetens the land and wonderfully t 

 the growth of the grass. Lime will be found particularly eftectlvi 

 open woodlands where grass is desired. This mixture is peculig 

 adapted to its purpose. Q,uart, 3;j cents; 2 quarts, 50 cents, postpaid, 

 express or freight, not prepaid, peck, S1.50; bushel (15 pounds), 85.00. 



MAULE'S STEEP SLOPE MIXTURE. 



This is for bauks, terraces, steep or exposed slopes and bare spoti 

 general; in fact, for any place, however dry, stony or barren. It 

 produce a sod that is absolutely proof against heat or drought, and t 

 cannot be injured by cold. I recommend, however, the same fair tr 

 ment elsewhere asked for; that is, semi-annual top dressings of fer 

 zers or manures, in order to maintain the vigor of the grasses. Q,u 

 30 cents; 2 quarts, 50 cents, postpaid. By express or freight, not ■ 

 paid, peck, SI. 50; bushel (15 pounds), $4.50. 



MAULE'S FAIR GREENS GOLF MIXTURE. 



This mixture is compounded to produce a tough sod that will r€ 

 tramping and hard usage. Year after year I have supplied this see 

 the most prominent golf clubs in the country. It is made up malnl 

 hardy, low growing, creeping grasses, which thrive under advers 

 that is, grasses which are not hurt by constant mowing and cease 

 wear. This mixture will produce a rich green turf; a turf which £ 

 only for a semi-annual top dressing of fertilizer to last indefinit 

 Seed should be applied in liberal amounts; fully 75 pounds per a 

 Quart, 25 cts.; 2 qts., 45 cts., postpaid. Bv express or freight, not ; 

 paid, peck, 75 cts.; bu. (16 pounds), $2.75; 4 bus., $10.00; 50 bus., 8100.00,
