KILLER 
DIRECTIONS FOR USE. 
(1) Select a mild day when the earth is moist and the worms are active. 
(2) Cover the Lawn or Green with Carters’ Worm Killer at the rate of half a 
pound per square yard. 
(3) Water the Worm Killer in immediately with a hose, water cart, or can, and

in thousands and die. 
Carters’ Worm Killer is absolutely infallible, provided that
