The Kirke Automatic Lawn and Garden Feeder BUghtSisl^x 



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 Container is a nickel-plated durable brass affair, about 6 inches 

 long by 2V2 inches in diameter with strainer in the outlet end; the top unscrews for the insertion of cartridge. It is fitted to couple to any 5|-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 the proper 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. A cartridge lasts from 6 to 12 hours continuous 

 watering or spraying, according to the pressure turned on at the faucet.

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

 proper proportions of nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash in high grade, soluble and assimilable 

 plant food form and is immediately eflfective 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, weighs about 6^ ozs.l. 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 deterren,, for 

 many insects.

The "Velvetlawn" Seeder 



For Seeding New Lawns and Re- 

 novating Worn Out Lawns and Bad 

 Spots without digging. Puts the 

 seed IN old sod or IN newly pre- 

 pared ground, covers and rolls it. 



This is a valuable machine for 

 seeding new lawns and doubly 

 valuable for renovating worn out 

 lawns and bad spots in Greens, 

 Tennis Courts, etc., without re- 

 digging or plowing, and without 

 marring the surface. It puts the 

 seed IN newly prepared ground or 

 IN old sod — the seed is distributed 

 very evenly in any desired quan- 

 tity — wind or no wind, not too 

 thick in some places and too thin 

 in others. In new ground or soft 

 turf it is easily operated by one man 

 but in old hard sod it may require 

 another person to pull. The re- 

 volving discs cut narrow trenches, 

 the seeds being sown in it and im- 

 mediately behind the discs. There 

 are eight of these discs with 

 ^ their accompanying seed spouts, 

 inches apart — thus the machine 

 sows a strip 16 inches wide as fast as a man can 

 walk. It will sow and cross sow an area 50x150 feet in 

 thirty minutes; a little roller follows each seed spout, thus pressing the soil 

 back and covering the seed. As each disc, seed spout and roller work 

 individually, they therefore adapt themselves to the inequalities of the 

 ground — insuring a perfectly even stand of grass. Price, $15.00. 



Stevens Hand Power Fertilizer Sower 



For Top-dressing Lawns, Tennis Courts, Golf Greens, etc. 



It sows all kinds of commercial fertilizers, bonemeal, 

 wood ashes, lime, etc., in large or very small quantities. 

 It can also be successfully used for fertilizing straw- 

 berry beds, and other garden and field work; is excellent 

 for sifting wood or coal ashes, sawdust or dry sand on icy 

 walks; will also sow damp sand by removing two blades. 



The hopper is 34 inches long and holds one and one- 

 half bushels. Weight of machine, 83 pounds. It is 

 well made and nicely painted. Price, $12.00. 



The Henderson Double Hopper 

 Wheelbarrow Seeder 



Sows Grass Seed Mixtures as well 

 as Heavy Seeds or Light 

 Chaffy Seeds 



This is a su 

 perior Seeder One 

 side of the Seed 

 Box is adapted 

 for all such 

 heavy seeds as 

 clover, timothy 

 millet, alfalfa 

 Hungarian, etc 

 The opposite side 



handles the light chaff> seeds as Red Top Kentucky blue Orchard 

 grass, etc., as well as grass seed mixtures for golf, pasture, hay, lawns, etc. 

 The machine may be easily regulated to sow any desired quantity per 

 acre, sowing it accurately and evenly the whole length of the hopper — 14 

 feet — and it does not clog up. Every machine warranted to do good work 

 and of especial value on a windy day. Full directions with each seeder. 

 Price, $10.00.
