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

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 
erowth, 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 14 pounds. This is because I 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, 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 ground animal bone in the spring on lawns; also, to reno- 
vate the lawn every spring with a little fresh seed, using a quarter or a 
third the quantity employed in the original seeding. Grass seed may 
be sown with or without a nurse crop, preferably in April or October. 
Use 1 quart to 200 square feet of ground, or 4 to5 bushels per acre. The 
beauty of a lawn depends so much upon the thick, even quality of the 
grass that I think 5 bushels of seed per acre will prove none too much. 
Maule’s Extra Lawn Grass Mixture cannot be excelled for all usual and 
ordinary purposes. Qt., 25 ects.;2 qts., 15 cts.; 5 qts., $1.00, postpaid. By 
express or freight, peck, $1.25; bushel (20 lbs.), $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 reeommended 
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, even in warm weather, and will be ready to cut 
two weeks or more in advance of any other mixture which I offer; nor 
is it lacking in permanence. Qt., 25 cts.; 2 qts., 45 cts.; 5 qts., $1.00, 
postpaid. By express or freight, pk., $1.25; bu. (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 
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. 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, 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 beat 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 and thus 
enable them to do their best work. Quart, 80 cents; 2 quarts, 50 cents, 
postpaid. By express or freight, peck, $1.50; 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 golfelubs inthe 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 ceaseles 
Wear. This mixture will produce a rich green turf; a turf which asks 
only for a semi-annual top dressing of bone meal to last indefinitely. 
Seed should be applied in liberal amounts, so I recommend fully 75 
pounds per acre. Quart, 25 cts.; 2 qts.,45 cts., postpaid. By express or 
freight, peck, 75 cts.; bushel (15 pounds), $2.75; 4 bushels, $10.00. 


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 mest 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, 80 cents; 2 quarts, 50 cents, postpaid. By express or 
freight, peck, $1.50; bushel (20 pounds), $6.00,
