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 14 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 book us for one Ion of Henderson's Worm- Killing Grass Food for

 is certainly the best preparation of its kind we have ever used."
