I 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 yards, including choice selected strains of Kentucky 

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

 §jorts. We have included a little white clover in the mixture, regarding 

 it as essential. Full provision is made for a succession of growth, so 

 ;$hat there shall be no break in the richness of the verdure from spring 

 Sihtil autumn, and experience proves that Maule's Extra Lawn Grass 



Mixture is now perfect. Nothing better can be purchased on the 

 American market. Our 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 we employ the choicest and heaviest 

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

 the soil, we recommend a thorough manuring and working to a 

 depth of 4 or 5 inches, and a regular semi-anuual application of 

 top dressing afterward. Grass seed can be sown any time between 

 April and September.
