lav>/n mixture. 



Quick Resuits 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 Jlixture, but after May 1st 

 (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 I offer; nor is it lacking in per- 

 manence. Q,t., 35 cts.; a qts., 45 cts.; 5 qts., $1.00, postpaid. By- 

 express or freight, not prepaid, pk., $1.35; ba. (30 lbs.), $4.00. 



le'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 

 shadows 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 lime sweetens the land and wonderfully aids 

 the growth of the grass. Lim.e will be found particularly effective in 

 open woodlands where grass is desired. This mixture is adapted to its 

 purpose. Q,t., 30 cts.; 2 qts., 50 cts.; 5 qts., $1.10, postpaid. By ex- 

 press or frelgbt, not prepaid, peck, $1.50; bushel (30 lbs.), $5.00. 



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 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, ily 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 I 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 I employ Red, Mammoth, Alsike and White. 

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

 others are absolutely permanent. I vary the proportions to suit differ- 

 ent situations.
