Maule's Extra Lawn Grass Seed 



This mixture \ti11 Insure a beautiful, compact, evergreen sod on any 

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

 plied with. Its componeut 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, hut 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 uutil 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 U pounds. This is because I employ the choicest and heaviest 

 strams 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 mches, 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 emploved 

 m the original seeding. Grass seed should be sown in April or Sep- 

 tember. Use 1 quart to 300 square feet of ground, or 1 bushel will sow 

 a plot 100 feet wide and 108 feet long or 4 bushels per acre. Maule's 

 Extra Lawn Grass Mixture cannot be excelled for quality and vitalitv.

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 gi-een 



turf; a turf which asks only for a semi-annual top dressing of fertilizer 

 to last indefinitely. Seed should be applied in liberal am mints -fX

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 



advance of growing the seed, and with good after treatment no better

This is for banks, terraces, steep or exposed slopes and bare spots in 

 general; m 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. The grasses produce strong, spreading 

 roots, thus preventing heavy rains from washing them out; will 

 withstand exposure, thrives on shallow soils, and at' the same time 

 produces a rich, velvety green tnrf throughout the season. Quart, 30
