The Kirke Automatic Lawn and Garden Feeder 



Also Insect and 

 Blight AJbolisher 



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 watering 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 2' 2 inches in diameter with strainer in the outlet end; the top unscrews for the insertion of cartridge. It is fitted to couple to any %-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 purposes designed, so that when the hose 

 is turned on the cartridge gradually dissolves and impregnates the outflowing water with a proportion of plant food, insect destroyer or fungus 



— , remedy. Any cartridge (excepting the Bordeaux) may be quickly removed and replaced from 

 time to time as required — until worn away.

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

 proportions 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 614 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. 



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. 



THE KIRKE BORDEAUX CARTRIDGE (Color blue, weight about 10 ozs.). The active in- 

 gredients 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. 



THE KIRKE CARTRIDGE 

 CONTAINER 



This is the famous "Skinner Irriga- 

 tion System" on wheels and therefore 

 portable. This sprinkler may be placed 

 and moved anywhere on the lawn or in 

 the garden where it can be connected 

 to the garden hose. The water is dis- 

 tributed evenly and gently in a fine 

 spray. The Skinner Lawn Mist Irri- 

 gator is a length of galvanized pipe into 

 which are fitted about every three feet 

 apart, clusters of small spray nozzles 

 so arranged that the distribution of 

 water is entirely uniform the entire 

 length of the pipe — and over a width 

 of from 16 to 20 feet according to the 

 volume of pressure of the water supply. 

 A 12-foot section of pipe is fitted to 4 

 sets of nozzles, a 15-foot section to 5 

 sets and an 18-foot section to 6 sets of 

 spraying nozzles. A 15-foot length 

 operating under a 30-lb. pressure will 

 distribute about 5 gallons of water per 

 minute, other lengths in proportion. 

 Where the water supply and the pres- 

 sure is sufficient two or more lengths of 

 pipe may be connected and operated 

 at one time and if the extra lengths are 

 fitted with our "flexible couplings" the 

 pipes may be placed at different angles 

 as may be desirable. It works best with 

 a water pressure of 30 lbs. or satisfac- 

 tory results are given with pressures as 

 low as 20 lbs. Each section is fitted to a
