Henderson's Worm- Killing Grass Food 



Feeds the Grass and Eliminates the Worms 



mut lates the grass into rich green growth but it quickly eliminates the 

 earth or angle worms that burrow in the turf in almost unbelievable quantities. 

 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 come to the surface and die. For putting-greens it 

 is invaluable, keeping them free from worm casts, and 

 level and true without the trouble and expense of daily 

 brushing and rolling. Henderson's Worm-Killing Grass 

 Food is a non-poisonous powder not injurious to animal 

 or bird life, and it can safely be applied on grass 

 according to directions at any season of the year. Use 

 one pound for each two square yards. Late in the season 

 when the worms are deep in the ground, the quantity 

 may be increased.
