Henderson's Worm-Killing Grass Food 



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 Yi pound to a square yard and water in 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 Sates, 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. It's 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. 



Price of Henderson's Worm- Killing Grass Food: 5-lb. pkg. 85c; 

 10-lb. pkg. $1.50; 25-lb. bag $2.75; 50 lb. bag $4.50; 100-lb. bag, $7.50.
