MULE'S STAMBARD BRASS UTURES FOR ALL SITUATIONS 



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

 Note. — The following mixtures, based upon experience, will be found highly satisfactory. The purpose of each is suggested by its name. 

 They are made of the best components to be had on th'e market. None but the finer grasses are employed, and only seeds that have been thor- 

 oughly cleaned. I will cheerfully compound grass mixtures to order. 



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 Kentucky 

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

 sorts. 1 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 

 growth, so that there shall be no break in the richness of the verdure 

 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 



the bushel of 20 pounds, while some seedsmen sell a bushel weighing 

 only 1-i pounds. This is because 1 employ the choicest and heaviest 

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

 soil, I recommend a thorough working and manuring to a depth of 8 or 

 9 inches, and a 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 or a 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 

 vitalitv. Q,t., 25c; 2 qts., 45c; 5 qts., SI. OO, postpaid. By eiprcst 

 or freght, not prepaid, pk., $1.50; bu. (20 lbs.), #5; 4 bus., $17.50. 



MAULE'S PUTTING GREEN MIXTURE. 



It is impossible to have a putting green too much like a piece of 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, SO cents; 2 quarts, 50 cents, postpaid. By express 

 3>r freight, not prepaid, peck, $1,50; bushel (20 pounds), S5.00. 



PUTTING GREEN SOWN WITH MAULE'S PUTTING GREEN MIXTURE. 



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 let 

 (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 1 offer; nor is it lacking in per- 

 manence. Q,t.*, 25 cts.; a qts., 45 ctg.; 5 qts., $1.00, postpaid. By 

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

 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 aide 

 the growth of the grass. Lime will be found particularly effective in 

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

 purpose. Q,uart, 35 cts.; 2 quarts, 60 cts., postpaid. By express 

 or freight, not prepaid, peck, $1.75; bushel (15 lbs.), $6.00. 



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 fertili- 

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

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

 not prepaid, peck, $1.5I>; bushel (15 poundg), $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 in the country. It is made up mainly of 

 hardy, low growing, creeping grasses, which thrive under adversity; 

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

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

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

 Seed should be applied in liberal amounts; fully 75 pounds per acre. Qt., 

 25c; 2 qts., 45c, postpaid. By express or freight, not prepaid, 

 pk., 75c; bu. (15 lbs.), $2.75; 4 bus., 910; 100 bus., $2.25 per bu.
