GRASS AND OTHER GROWTH IN GARDEN WALKS, GUTTERS, 



TENNIS COURTS, DRIVEWAYS, ETC. 



This fluid absolutely destroys all weeds and otlier growth wherever appllec", 

 and its effect on the ground prevents the growth of fresh ones for a year and 

 thus saves a great deal of time and labor, as no cutting, hoeing or hauling away 

 of the weeds is required.

SCOTCH SOOT 



Where there is a house that li J«si 

 full of buds almost ready to show color, 

 nothing will turn better color Into the 

 flowers than a little soot, that can he 

 scattered over the benches Itefore water- 

 ing. The amount applied should not be 

 excessive, as the 8(tot is very strong 

 and may damage some of the follajfe 

 somewhat. Apply Just enough to blacken 

 the surface of the soil In the benches, 

 and let It go at that. Better a little 

 oftener than too much all at once.
