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 surface 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 pow- 

 der 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.

Henderson's Fluid Weed Destroyer. 



Destroys Weeds, Moss, Grass, etc., in Garden Walks 

 and Carriage Drives. 



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 applica- 

 tion 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 

 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." 



CHAS. McGRATH, Jr., Newton, Mass. 



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

 delivery. We take pleasure in advising that the sample ton from you last year was 

 the means of thoroughly eradicating the worms wherever applied. It is certainly 

 the best preparation of its kind we have ever used. 



W. S. THOMAS (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 ex- 

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

 evenness of surface by the use of it. Will place another order for it with you next 

 spring." 



D. M. BLANFORD, Silver Springs, Md. 



"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, Z\ lbs., 50c. (mail weight, 4 lbs.) ; 7 lbs., 75c (mail 

 weight, 8 lbs.); will dress about 25 square yards; 14 lbs., $1.25; 28 lbs., $2.00; 56 

 lbs., $3.50; 1 cwt., $6.00.
