Maulers Steep Slope Mixture [Maulers Shady Lawn Mixtur 



i 



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 oiit; will 

 withstand exposure, thrives on shallow soils, and at the same time 

 produces a rich, velvety green turf throughout tlie season. Quart, 30 

 cents; 2 quarts 50 cents; 5 quarts, SI. 10, postpaid. By express or 

 frelgiit, iiot prepaid, peck, $1.S5; biisbel (20 pouuds), S5.00. 



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 

 sliadows 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 

 bushels to the acre). The llm^e 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 adapted to its i 

 purpose. Qt.. 30 cf 8.; 3 qts., 50 cts.; 5 qts., $1.10, postpaid. By ex- 

 press or freight, not prepaid, peck, $1.25; bnsliel (20 lbs.), $5.00. j 



A FIELD OF MAULE'S PERMANENT PASTURE GRASS. 



Maulers Three Permanent Pasture Mixtures 



It is true beyond all question that a mixture of grasses produces a 

 better mowing field and subsequent permanent pasture than a mere 

 combination of timothy and red clover. 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 frequently and forcibly shown by experience. Our com- 

 pleted mixtures are sold in two parts, one containing grass seeds and 

 the other clover seeds, to be sown separately, on account of their differ- 

 ent weights. The grass seeds may be sown in spring or fall; the clover 

 seeds preferably in the spring. In preparing the permanent pasture 

 grass mixtures we employ mainly Kentucky Blue. Timothy, English 

 Rye, Italian Rye, Red Top or Herd, Orchard, Tall Meadow Oat, Jleadow 

 Foxtail, Meadow Fescue. Hard Fescue. Tall Fescue. Rottgh Stalk Mea- 

 dow, Cauadian Blue, Awnless Brome, Creeping Bent, Sweet Vernal, etc. 



, In the clover mixture we employ Red. Mammoth, Alsike and Whiti 

 A few of these components will disappear in two or three years, but th« 

 I others are absolutely permanent. We vary the proportions to suit dif 

 I ferent situations.
