 small fruits, grape vines, and, in fact, all kinds of 

 vegetation.

'' The HENDERSON UV.'.HL) LAWN ENRICHER.'^ 





^iivrrrtnnwwwarfwmrf^^^^"t*r- .-Mfiw 



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 withoutinjurv or danger of burning the grass, and a remarkable improvement will 



soon be observed. It is in everv wav more desirable than manure, which is so often full of weed seeds. 



The use of "Henderson Lawn Enrichcr" entirely does away with tlieold practice of top-dressing lawns 



with stable manure, which was so objectionable on iK-count of unsiglitlincss and disagreeable odors. 



Quantity required. -4 10 lb. package is sufficient to go over an area of .300 .snu.;re feet or for forming a new law^^
