A FIELD OF MAULE'S PERMANENT PASTURE GRAt.S. 



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. My 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 differ- 

 ent weights. The grass seeds may be sown in spring or fall; the clover 

 seeds pi'eferably 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. 



Maule's Fair Green 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 are not hurt by constant 

 mowing and ceaseless wear. This mixture will produce a rich green 



Maule's Putting Green Golf 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 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 are 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

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 difl'er- 

 ent situations.
