LAWN FERTILIZING. 



A permanent sward eventually exhausts the fertilizer in the soil, 

 no matter how richly prepared it may have been originally. 

 The constant growth of the grass, its frequent mowing, and , 

 the removal of the clippings also removes a certain proportion 

 of digested plant food. Therefore if the luxuriant richness of 

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

 once a year, with suitable fertilizer. 



Fine Bone Meal may be safely broadcasted on at any time 

 at the rate of 500 to 1000 pounds per acre; although slow in 

 .action the effects are quite lasting. Price, 1 lb. pkg., 10c (or

The Henderson Lawn Enricher is a clean, portable and convenient lawn dressing which we have 

 found to be never-failing in inducing a rapid and rich green growth. It should be sown broadcast in 

 the spring or fall, though it can be put on during the summer without injury or danger of burning 

 the grass, and a remarkable improvement will soon be observed. It is in every way more desirable 

 than manure, which is so often full of weed seeds. The use of ''Henderson Lawn Enricher" 

 entirely does away with the old practice of top-dressing lawns with stable manure, which was 

 so objectionable on account of unsightliness and disagreeable odors. 



QUANTITY REQUIRED. For forming a new lawn a 10-pound package is sufficient to go over an 

 area of 300 square feet, or 1000 to 1500 pounds per acre, or as mailer quantity for renovating an old one.

A New and Easy Way to Destroy Weeds, Moss, 

 Grass, etc., in Garden Walks & Carriage Drives. 



Hendersons 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 walls 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 destroyed it is best to mow or chopjJoff the tops first. Full directions for use with each package.

 HENDERSONS 



ELUID WEED DESTROYER 



HAS KILLED THEM ALL. 



" 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 tlie 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." 



Chas. McGrath, Gr., 



Newton, Mass. 



" / tried your ' Weed Destroyer ' and found it so good that I want to order a 5-gallon can." 



Mrs. N. H. Piffard, Passaic, N. J. 



" The tests of your ' Weed Destroyer ' have been entirely satisfactory. I congratulate you 

 upon your success in manufacturing a product that meets a public want. We have a great many 

 brick walls in Burlington that are most unsightly, with grass and weeds growing between tlie bricks, 

 but when they have been treated with your fluid compound. 1 auart to 5 gallons of water, the un- 

 sightly vegetable growth was destroyed in a few hours. My brother-in-law, and next-door neighbor 

 Judge Power, also use it with entire satisfaction."
