a concentrated liquid that is claimed to 
effectually kill weed growth by soaking 
into the ground, killing the roots, and 
leaving the ground in a condition that 
weeds cannot grow. It is effective where 
weeds are growing through crushed stones, 
macadamized roads and ordinary roads. 
WATERING LARGE GROUNDS. 
An abundant supply of water is in- 
variably considered indispensable, but 
proper means or facilities for dispensing 
this supply over the large areas of ex- 
tensive grounds or parks are sometimes 
neglected. The result is either the un- 
intentional neglect, greatly to their det- 
riment, of parts of the grounds, or la- 
borious, time and money consuming 
hauling of long stretches of hose. Where 
there are enough outlets at judiciously 
selected points, short hose may be used 
and full advantage taken of the pressure 
to throw the water as far as possible in 
all directions. Inexpensive hydrants, 
easily installed in connection with any 
system of piping, should be freely used. 
They will enable the landscape gardener 
to “feed” his plants abundantly and with 
the least labor and trouble. A very 
complete line of hydrants, especially de- 
signed for this purpose and very ex- 
tensively used in private and public 
parks, cemeteries, etc., are the “Lewis” 
Patent Lawn Hydrants and Street Wash- 
ers, made by the Haydenville Co., Hay- 
denville, Mass. The Haydenville Co. has 
published an attractive booklet describ- 
ing these useful devices and will gladly 
send a copy to anyone who is interested. 
OUR FRONT COVER PICTURE. 
The illustration on our front cover 
shows a very popular design of iron fence 
being extensively installed by The Stewart 
Iron Works Co., Cincinnati, O., to enclose 
public parks, cemeteries, athletic fields and 
playgrounds. This is one of their plainer 
patterns, yet possessing enough of the ar- 
tistic in finish and general scheme of con- 
struction to afford a pleasing relief to the 
magnificent simplicity of the design. 
The fence shown is made of ^-inch

ROADWAYS AND GUTTERS CAN BE KEPT CLEAR OF GRASS AND WEEDS BY USING 
“Herbicide” “ d . Weed Exterminator 
Although there are now on the market several imitations of “Herbicide,” the hundreds of 
letters which we receive daily, prove beyond a doubt that “Herbicide” is still purchased by dis- 
creet buyers, who through experience have learned that there is nothing on the market to equal 
it in lasting results, which means economy. 
These men have had experience and “know.” 
Mr. .T. A. Reed, Supt. Canton Cemetery, Canton, Ohio: 
Think we have enough “Herbicide” to do us this season. Have tried other makes, but find 
none equal to “Herbicide.” 
Mr. Mulno, Supt. Lowell Cemetery, Lowell, Mass. 
Please send me two barrels of “Herbicide.” — “The Old Reliable.” 
The Pittsburg, McKeesport & Westmoreland Ry. Co., McKeesport, Pa. 
We find your “Herbicide” the “ONLY WEED EXTERMINATOR.” 
C. H. Slocum, Supt.
