Kirke Automatic Lawn and Garden 

 Fertilizer and Insect Destroyer 



The Kirke System is an ingenious, scientific method of combining in one 

 operation the several others formerly attendant upon fertilizers and insec- 

 ticides for lawns, gardens, shrubbery, and foliage. The only clean, 

 odorless, positively active, easily handled, practicable, economical, 

 and efficient method of destroying insects or fertilizing, requiring no 

 additional labor or experience. It abolishes the use of unsanitary stable 

 manure, so objectionable because of its disagreeable odors and the great 

 abundance of weed seeds it contains. It abolishes the use of cumbersome 

 hard-pumps, hand-sprayers, carts and wagons, etc., for distributing in- 

 secticides and fertilizers. It is without an experimental feature — it will 

 work as well for you as for the thousands all over the country who already 

 enjoy its benefits. 



TnTT"P IZ^TTJl^'Tr TTTTTTT^ITrT? Consists of a cylindrical nickel-planted metal cartridge-holder, which is easily 

 A XJ.ll/ JVlrvlVll/ V Il/tl/\J SliM\. connected to any standard-sized water faucet, and in which is placed a KIKKE 

 Fertilizer, Insecticide, or Fungicide cartridge. It is a neat device and will last a lifetime. It is simplicity itself, and 

 even a child can handle it. 



KIRKE CARTRIDGES, which are placed in the KIRKE FEEDER, are of four types: Fertilizer, Insecticide, 

 Fungicide, Disinfectant-Germicide. They are composed of the highest grade of concentrated and extremely active 

 chemicals, and dissolve gradually with even and positive distribution. 



THE " KIRKE SYSTEM " SPRINKLING-CAN PLANT FOOD is a product especially prepared for those who do 

 not necessarily require the use of a garden hose. . It will be found very serviceable and highly beneficial for piazza plants, 

 greenhouse plants, plants grown in pots and in cemeteries, etc.

 colored flowers and grass.
