891 Maule's Extra Lawn Grass Mixture 



A Beautiful, Smooth, Low Growing Evergreen Grass for the Yard or Lawn 



This mixture will insure a beautiful, compact, evergreen sod on any 

 im where the essential requirements of grass culture have been com- 

 ied with. Its component parts are the grasses peculiarly adapted 

 lawns and yards, including choice selected strains of Kentucky 

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

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

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

 at there shall be no break in the richness of the verdure from spring 

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

 Ixture 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 using plenty of manure, working same into the soil 

 to a depth of 4 or 5 inches. After the grass is well established a top dress- 

 ing of fertilizer such as our Panmure Plant Food will be quite beneficial. 

 For those that wish this mixture without white clover we can supply 

 it at the same prices. In ordering please mention without clover. 

 Grass seed can be sown any time between April and September.

885 Maule's Shady Lawn Mixture 



Flourishes Under Trees or in Shady Nooks. 



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 buildiugs. In preparing such places for sowing 

 grass seed 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 wood- 

 lands where grass is desired. This mixture is adapted to its purpose.

Maule's Three Permanent Pasture Mixtures 



Best Adapted for Producing an Abundant Hay Crop or for Pasturage 



t is true beyond all question that a mixture of grasses produces a 

 tter mowing field and subsequent permanent pasture than a mere 

 mbination of timothy and red clover. The former will last five times 

 long as the latter. Timothy "runs out" in a couple of years or so, 

 tile a good permanent pasture will last ten or even twenty years, 

 is has been frequently and forcibly shown by experience. Our com- 

 ;ted mixtures are sold in two parts, one containing grass seeds and 

 5 other clover seeds, to be sown separately, on account of their difler- 

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

 ids preferably in the spring. In preparing the permanent pasture 

 iss mixtures we employ mainly Kentucky Blue, Timothy, English 

 e, Italian Rye, Red Top or Herd, Orchard, Tall Meadow, Meadow 

 xtail, Meadow Fescue, Tall Fescue, Rough Stalk Meadow, Canadian 

 le, Bromus Inermis or Awnless Brome, Crested Dog Tail, etc. 



In the clover mixture we employ Red, Mammoth, Alsike and White. 

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

 others are absolutely permanent. We vary the proportions to suit dif- 

 ferent situations.
