108 — Pasture and Grass Mixtures 



THE MAULE SEED BOOK FOR 1916 



A FIELD OF MAULE'S PERMANENT PASTURE GRASS. 



Maule's 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 tlmothj- 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 difl'er- 

 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, Meadow 

 Foxtail, Meadow Fescue, Hard Fescue, Tall Fescue, Rough Stalk Mea- 

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



In the clover mixture we employ Red, Mammoth, Alsike and White 

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

 others are absolutely permanent. AVe vary the proportions to suit dif- 

 ferent situations.

aule'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 np 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 

 7.5 pounds per acre. Q.t., 25 cts,; 2 qts., 43 cts.; 5 qts., $1.00, post- 

 paid. By express or freight, not prepaid, peck, SI. 00; bushel 

 I 20 lbs, !, S4.00; 5 bushels or more, S3. 75 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 in the 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 arel'ertilized twice a year (early spring and late fall) wT^th 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 Rreen 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 leet. 



Quart, 35 cts.; 2 quarts, G5 cts.; 5 quarts, SI. 50, postpaid. By 

 express or freight, not prepaid, pech, SI. 73; bushel (25 lbs.), 

 $7.00; 5 bushels or more, SO. 50 per bushel. 



Quick Results Lawn Mixture 



This mixture is for producing an immediate greensward that will be 

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

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

 would rather use Maule's Extra Ijawn Grass Mixture, but after May 1st 

 (in the latitude of Philadelphia) we would much prefer this one. It will 

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

 advance of any other mixture which we ofi'er; nor is it lacking in per- 

 manence. Q.t., 25 cts.; a qts., iS cts.; 5 qts., SI. 00, postpaid. By 

 express or freight, not prepaid, pk., $1.25; bu. (20 lbs.), S-1.50.

A PERSONAL TOUCH 



In these days of Wireless, Telephone and Telegraph it is frequently complained that all social visiting and personal business 

 intercourse is at an end. A call on the 'phone will do as well as a personal visit and take less time. This has its advantages. 

 In the olden times a very polite gentleman used to call upon you with elaborately illustrated picture books and solicit your order 

 for Plants, Trees and Seeds. It was not always convenient for you to see him. You did not wish to give offense by refusing to 

 talk with him. You were sometimes prevailed upon to give an order for things you did not want, but now — OUR SALESMAN — 

 our catalog is handed to you by the Postman at your door. You do not have to listen to him when you do not want to. You 

 run no risk of offending him. He can never bore you. When YOU are ready you can talk with him. You will find him inter- 

 esting. If there is anything you would like to know about Seeds, the farm or garden, which he cannot tell you please write to 

 us. Whilst our first object is to supply you with seeds — GOOD, RELIABLE SEEDS — we want to do more than this. 



WE WANT TO BE HELPFUL TO YOU.
