ALL SITUATIONS. 
LAWN AT BRIAR CREST SOWN WITH MAULE’S EXTRA LAWN GRASS MIXTURE. 
Norre.—The following mixtures, based upon experience, will be tound highly satisfactory. 
The purpose of each is suggested by its name. 
None but the tiner grasses are employed, and only seeds that have been thor- 
This mixture will insure a beautiful, compact, evergreen sod on any 
\lawn where the essential requirements of grass culture have been com- 
jplied with. Its component parts are the grasses peculiarly adapted to 
,|Jawns and door yards, including choice selected strains of Kentucky 
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 
fine sorts are employed. Full provision is made for a succession of 
| 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. My friends will please note that this seed is sold by 
. MAULE’S EXTRA LAWN GRASS MIXTURE, 
the bushel of 20 pounds, while Some seedsmen sell a bushel weighing 
only 14 pounds. This is because 1 employ the choicest and heaviest 
Strains of grass seed in making the mixture. As to preparation of the 
soil, 1 reeommend a thorough working and manuring to a depth of 8 or 
9 inches, anda 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 200 square feet of ground, or 4 bus. per acre. 
Maule’s Extra Lawn Grass Mixture cannot be excelled for quality and 
Vitality. Qt., 25 cts.; 2 qts., 15 cts.; 5 qts., $1.00, postpaid. By express or 
freight, not prepaid, peck, $1.25; bushel (20 1bs.), $4.00; 4 bushels, $15.00. 
MAULE’S 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 I 
/would rather use Maule’s Extra Lawn Grass Mixture, but after May Ist 
(in the latitude of Philadelphia) I 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 | offer; nor is it lacking in. per- 
manence. Qt., 25 cts.; 2 qts., 45 cts.; 5 qts., $1.00, postpaid. By express 
or freight, not prepaid, peck, $1.25; bushel (20 pounds), $4.00. 
MAULE’S SHADY LAWN MIXTURE. 
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 
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 lime 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 peculiarly 
adapted to its purpose. Quart, 30 cents; 2 quarts, 50 cents, postpaid. By 
express or freight, not prepaid, peck, $1.50; bushel (15 pounds), $5.00. 
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. I recommend, however, the same fair treat- 
ment elsewhere asked for; that is, semi-annual top dressings of Caare 
uart,

) paid, peck, 31.50; bushel (15 pounds), $4.50. 
MAULE’S FAIR GREENS GOLF MIXTURE. 
This mixture is compounded to produce a tough sod that will resist 
\tramping and hard usage. Year after year I have supplied this seed to 
‘the most prominent golf clubs inthe country. It is made up mainly of 
‘hardy, low growing, creeping grasses, which thrive under adversity; 
iver peat is, 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.

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 secured 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, $1.50; bushel (20 pounds), $5.00.
