THE KIRKE FERTILIZER AND INSECTICIDE 
CARTRIDGES WITH DISTRIBUTOR FOR LAWN 
The Kirke Automatic Lawn Feeder. 
It applies the fertilizer while watering, and feeds the grass or garden with high grade, immediately 
available, concentrated plant food. See cuts Nos. 1 and 2. . 
The Kirke fertilizer dispenser is a neat device easily attached to any garden hose. It wi as 
a life time, and can be used both for Kirke Fertilizer and Insecticide cartridges. See cut No. 4 • 
The cartridge stick of Concentrated Fertilizer for the lawn and garden, and the Nicotine C art- 
ridges for the destruction of soft bodied insects, dissolve in as much water as will pass through the 
ordinary garden hose in about five hours. They are clean, odorless and nonpoisonous, and will give 
perceptible results after one weeks use on the lawn or in the garden. 
The cartridges that fit into the feeder are prepared from the highest grade of concentrated ferti izer. 
absolutely soluble and quick acting. A combination to make plants grow and flourish, keep the grass 
green and the flowers in bloom. Its available elements of plant food in one tablet are equal to at least 
50 lbs. of good stable manure, but contains none of the impurities, such as odor, unsightly refuse or 
seeds of weeds, not to speak of the amount of labor required first in distributing and later in removing, 
the undissolved refuse. . 
The fertilizer cartridge is sufficiently hardened to prevent a too rapid wasting, but is thoroughly' 
dissolved as it leaves the nozzle or lawn sprinkler, and is therefore in a condition to be readily absorbed 
by the roots of the plants or grass. 
The nicotine cartridge is made from a free nicotine, which, when applied to both indoor and out¬ 
door vegetation, acts as a preventive against aphis, thrip, green fly, rose bug, mealy bug, etc. 
Price Kirke Fertilizer and Insecticide Dispenser, nickel plated, as shown in cut No. 4, $3.00. 
Mail weight 2 lbs.

A VALUABLE NEW MACHINE FOR SEEDING NEW LAWNS 
Also for renovating worn out lawns and bad spots. Puts the seed IN old sod or IN newly prepared 
ground, covers and rolls it. 
The "Velvetlawn” Seeder is a valuable hew machine for seeding new lawns and doubly valua¬ 
ble for renovating worn out lawns and bad spots in Greens, Tennis Courts, etc., without redigging or 
plowing, and without marring the surface. It puts the seed 
IN newly prepared ground or IN old sod—the seed is dis¬ 
tributed very evenly in any desired quantity—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 
revolving discs cut narrow trenches the seed being sown in it and immed.ately behmd the ebscs. There are eight.of these 
discs with their accompanying seed spouts. These sow 2 inches apart—putting the seed in at any desired depth thusi the 
machine sows a strip 10 inches wide as fast as a man can walk. It will sow and cross sow an area 50 x 150 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 t e 
ground-insuring a perfectly even stand of grass. Price, Hand Power Velvet Lawn Seeder, complete with 
press wheels, net $15.00.
