Henderson's Worm-Killing Grass Food 



Feeds the Grass and Eliminates the Worms 



Henderson's Worm-Killing Grass Food 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, causing the soil to become sticky, sour 

 and loosening it and the roots so that hot sun and dry weather cause the 

 grass to turn yellow and die out in spots. More lawn troubles are traceable 

 to earth worms than most people realize and we advise all whose grass is not 

 as good as it should be to apply Henderson's Worm-Killing Grass Food at 

 the rate of }^ pound to a square yard during rainy weather or else water in 

 thoroughly with a hose. The worms will then almost immediately come to 

 the suface and die. For putting-greens it is invaluable, keeping them free 

 from worm casts, level and true without the trouble and expense of daily 

 brushing and rolling. It is used by many Golf and Country Clubs and on 

 many private grounds in the United States, and all users are gratified with the 

 results. Henderson's Worm-Killing Grass Food 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 according to directions at any season of the year. Use one 

 pound for each two square yards. Though late in the season when the 

 worms are deep in the ground the quantity may be increased.

"Kindly hook us for one ton of Henderson's Worm- Killing Grass Food for

W. S. T HOMAS (Chairman Greens Com., Country Club of Glen Ridge), 



Glen Ridge, N. J. 



"Was more than pleased with your Worm- Killing Grass Food. It is a sure 

 exterminator of the angle worm. Our grass was very much improved in quality 

 and evenness of surface by Ihe use of it. Will place another order for it with you 

 next spring," 



D. M. BLA NFORD, Silver Springs, Aid. 



Henderson's Fluid Weed Destroyer 



It completely destroys all weeds, wherever applied, and by its effect on the 

 ground prevents the growth of fresh ones for a year afterwards, thus saving an 

 immense amount of labor in hoeing, etc. For brick walks it is a boon. Its 

 application is easy, being in a liquid form and only requiring to be mixed with 

 water and applied with a watering can or sprinkling cart. If the ground is 

 very dry it should first be sprinkled with clear water, so the Weed Destroyer 

 will not soak away too quickly. Where large weeds and docks are to be des- 

 troyed it is best to mow or chop off the tops first. Full directions for use 

 with each package. (Not mailable.)

" Your ' Weed Destroyer' is a boon to us here with our numerous garden walks 

 and carriage drives to be kept clean and free of weeds. It used to be hoe, hoe, hoe, 

 from morning till night, all summer long, but the last two seasons by sprinkling 

 the walks thoroughly in the spring with your 'Weed Destroyer' diluted with water, 

 it has kept the weeds and moss away and the walks in apple pie order."

"Climax" Lawn Sand 



A non-poisonous, dried chemical, which evenly distributed at about 4 ounces 

 per square yard kills weeds by adhering to their broad flat leaves, but falling to 

 the roots of the grass is absorbed by the soil and so fertilizes the fine grasses that 

 a permanent growth quickly covers the portions previously occupied by weeds 

 and moss. 



Grass dressed with "Climax" Lawn Sand is thicker in growth, finer in 

 texture and richer in color. It is marvelous how quickly the grass responds 

 and how lasting the improvement. Price, ZVi lbs., 70c. (Mail weight 4 lbs.); 

 7 lbs., $1.10 (Mail weight, 8 lbs.); will dress about 25 square yards; 14 lbs., 

 $1.75; 28 lbs., $3.00; 56 lbs., $5.00; 1 cwt., $9.00.
