supplies all of the elements grasses require from the soil 

 For New and Old Lawns, Athletic Fields, Golf Courses, Etc.

The constant mowing of grass and removal of clippings also removes 

 a proportion of digested plant food. Therefore, if the luxuriance of 

 a lawn is to be maintained, it must be top dressed at least once 3 year 

 with suitable fertilizer. The Henderson Lawn Enricher is a clean 

 lawn dressing which never fails in inducing a rapid and rich green 

 growth. 



For forming a new lawn a 10-lb. package is sufficient to cover an 

 area of 200 square feet: per acre, 1,000 to 1,500 lbs. Apply broadcast 

 with machine or by hand as evenly as possible on a quiet day and prefer- 

 ably just before rain. If applied during the summer use half of the 

 quantity and water in thoroughly with a hose.

WORM-KILLING GRASS FOOD 



It not only stimulates the grass on lawns, putting greens, tennis 

 courts, croquet grounds, etc., into rich green growth, but it quickly 

 eliminates the earth or angle worms that burrow in the turf in almost 

 unbelievable quantities. Apply at the rate of 1J^ pounds per 100 square 

 feet and water in thoroughly. The worms will then almost imme- 

 diately come to the surface. It is a non-poisonous powder not injurious 

 to animal or bird life. Its fertilizing properties, while combined into a 

 well-balanced grass food, are not so strong but that it can safely be 

 applied on grass in warm weather according to directions.
