The Kirke Automatic Lawn and Garden Feeder 



ALSO INSECT AND BLIGHT ABOLISHER 

 Merely slip a cartridge for either purpose in the container, attach to the hose and water as usuaL 



This Kirke System of liquefying and applying in mild solution cartridges of concentrated fertilizers, insecticides or fungicides, through the hose while water- 

 ing the garden and lawn, is a simple, practical and most efficient method. The feeder is a nickel-plated durable metal affair, about 6 inches long by 2J4 inches 

 in diameter with strainer in the outlet end; the top unscrews for the insertion of cartridge. It is fitted to couple to any J^-inch garden hose, either at the faucet 

 or nozzle end. The cartridges — clean and odorless — have been compounded by an expert agricultural chemist and contain in concentrated slowly soluble form 

 the various ingredients — strictly high grade and scientifically blended for the purpose designed, so that when the hose is turned on the cartridge gradually dis- 

 solves and impregnates the outflowing water with a proportion of plant food, insect destroyer or fungus remedy. 



Note: The fertilizer Cartridge may be used with an ordinary hose nozzle but a Spray Nozzle should 

 be used when applying insecticides. We recommend the "Bordeaux" nozzle offered on page 41 — price 

 with reducer to fit ^i in. hose coupling SI. 20. 



THE KIRKE FERTILIZER CARTRIDGE (Color green, weight about 8 ozs.). Contains the propor- 

 tions of nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash in high grade, soluble and assimilable plant food form and 

 is immediately effective in feeding and invigorating lawns, grass tennis courts, putting-greens, etc. — 

 whether applied through hose nozzle or lawn sprinkler. For gardens, vegetables, flowers, shrubs, etc., 

 it is equally beneficial, and being so diluted with an abundance of water which carries the plant feeding 

 constituents right to the roots, there is no danger of burning grass or any vegetation, whether applied 

 spring, summer or fall. If you want a luxuriant, velvet-green lawn throughout hot, dry weather use the 

 Kirke Fertilizer Cartridges and Distributor.

THE KIRKE TOBACCO CARTRIDGE (Color brown, weight about 6J< ozs.). The active agent in this 

 is nicotine, destructive to all sucking insects such as Aphis, Plant Lice, Green Fly, Thrip, Leaf Hopper, 

 Mealy Bug, Currant Worms, Canker Worms, etc. It is not poisonous and will not injure fruits nor 

 flowers. To be effective for insects of this class the insecticide must touch them, therefore should be 

 applied with a spray nozzle. See note above. 



THE KIRKE ARSENATE OF LEAD CARTRIDGE (Color white, weight about 10 ozs.). This is a very 

 effective poisonous insecticide for Bugs, Beetles, Caterpillars, Worms and Slugs that chew or eat foliage, 

 etc. Applied in a spray it adheres to the plants without injury and the moment the slightest particle 

 reaches the stomach of the depredator he is done for. Apply with a spray nozzle. See note above. 



THE KIRKE BORDEAUX CARTRIDGE (Color blue, weight about 5 oz.) The active ingredients of this 

 best of all fungicides is Copper Sulphate and Lime. An effective remedy and preventative for Mildew, 

 Blight, Rust, Leaf Spot, Bitter Rot and other fungus diseases. Apply in spray form so it will cling to the 

 foliage, etc. — it then also acts as a deterrent for many insects. Apply with a spray nozzle. See note 

 above.

Tree Tanglefoot. 



PREVENTS CATERPILLARS FROM CRAWLING UP TREES? 



Tree Tanglefoot — made by the "Tanglefoot Sticky Fly 

 Paper" Manufacturers — is the most successful and economi- 

 cal method of keeping caterpillars, cut worms, ants and other 

 climbing insect pests out of trees. After a tree is cleaned of 

 the cocoons and eggs, it is banded 3 to 5 inches wide and 

 fj of an inch thick with Tree Tanglefoot — applied like soft 

 putty with a paddle and it will protect the tree from further 

 ravages of these pests, providing the bands are inspected 

 occasionally to see that the surface has not become coated, 

 with dust or broken. Renew the bands each year to protect 

 the tree perpetually. 



NO CRAWLING INSECT CAN PASS A BAND OF TREE 

 TANGLEFOOT. 



Tree Tanglefoot remains sticky on the tree for fully 3 

 months — during any weather from freezing to 110° Fahren- 

 heit — does not dry up nor drop off — nor is it effected by rain 

 storms. It should be applied very early in the spring — before 

 the caterpillars commence to crawl — and again in the fall. 



Quantity Needed. — One pound will be sufficient for a six- 

 foot band 4 inches wide, -fs inch thick. 



Price.— 1 lb. can, 35c., P. P. IK lb.; 3 lb. can, Sl.OO, P.P. 

 3K lb. The following cannot be mailed: 10 lb. can, S3. 00;

Sticky Tree Cord. 



For banding trees to prevent the ascent of Cater- 

 pillars and other insects. 



A soft cord about § of an inch in diameter, thor- 

 oughly saturated and coated with a black sticky 

 material similar to that used on sticky fly paper. It 

 is supplied in tubes about 2H x 6 inches, containing 

 about 30 ft. of cord which is pulled out through a hole 

 in the screw top, which has an attachment for clamp- 

 ing to facilitate cutting off the cord. It is applied to 

 trees by tacking one end of the tree, then passing it 

 around once or twice, tacking about every 18 inches 

 and then cut off. The cord will not run or drip ap- 

 preciably and will remain sticky for three or four 

 months according to climatic conditions. 



Economy. Each tube contains sufficient to band 

 about 10 trees six inches in diameter twice around. 

 Trees banded with Sticky Tree Cord are not un- 

 sightly. No injury is sustained by the tree because 

 little material comes out of the cord and it is non- 

 poisonous. Rough barked trees such as Poplar, Gum, 

 etc., should have a channel two inches wide cut into 

 the bark to give a fairly smooth surface for the cord. 

 No caterpillar, slug, worm or other insect can cross it 

 nor go underneath it if properly applied. It is easy to 

 remove in the fall, leaving very little trace. 



Price, 25e per tube. $2.50 per doz. tubes. A small 

 clamp to catch hold of the cord is supplied free. 

 Weight about lyi pounds.
