WEED KILLERS 
Chemical weed killers have proven very satis- 
factory in the eradication of weeds in lawns and 
fields and with the new selective weed killer, 
2,4-D, where it is possible to spray weeds with- 
out injury to certain crops, there should be no 
excuse for weedy farms or lawns. We urge you 
to cover your requirements of these materials 
well in advance of the time they are needed. 
ENDOWEED 
Spray ugly weeds away with 
EndoWeed. The new improved 
selective weed killer containing 
2,4-D penetrates entire plant, 
kills leaves, stems, roots and all, 
but will not harm ordinary lawn 
grass nor affect the soil (injuri- 
ous to clover). We recommend 
this for dandelions, chickweed, 
plantain, and thistle in the 
lawn. Easily applied with 
spraying can or sprayer. Prices: 
yY% pt. (treats 2,000 sq. ft.), 
$1.00; 1 qt. (treats 8,000 sq. 

ft.), $2.75, postpaid. 
AMMATE WEED KILLER 
Ammate is based on ammo- 
rium sulfamate and is free from 
fire or explosion hazards. The 
residue left on areas treated 
with Ammate is not poisonous 
to humans, pets or livestock. € 
Especially effective against poi- 
son ivy, poison oak, poison su- 
mac, chokecherry, ragweed, 
Canada thistle, bull thistle, sow 
thistle. Use at % Ib. to 1 Ib.

lb. pkg., $2.00; by mail, $2.20,

each; 350-lb. drum, $63.00. 
SODIUM CHLORATE 
For weed eradication on farms such as quack 
grass, Oanada thistle, etc. Temporarily sterilizes 
the soil but it is the best killer of quack grass. 
Price: By freight f.0. b. Madison: 100-lb. drums, 
$12.00 each, subject to change, 
10% 2-4-D WEEDICIDE POWDER 
For Agricultural purposes we recommend 
powder 2,4-D as it is less costly. 1 lb. of pow- 
der will make 100 gallons of spray and 2 lbs., or 
200 gallons is sufficient for an acre. Recommend- 
ed for thistles, plantain and other wide leaf 
weeds. .Does not kill quack grass. Use Sodium 
Chlorate for this. Prices: 5 oz. pkg., $1.00, post- 
paid; 1-lb., $2.00; by mail, $2.10. By express or 
freight: 25-lb. drum, $40.50; 100-lb. drum, 
$150.00, 
DU PONT 2-4-D 46% ESTER WEED KILLER 
Some of our customers prefer the liquid Ester 
type weed killer, especially in orchards or shady 
locations where it seems to be more effective 
than the powder. Price, 1 gallon (makes 100 
gallons of spray), $15.00, postpaid. 
8312% DUPONT 2-4-D POWDER 

We prefer this highly con- 
centrated 2,4-D as it dissolves 
so quickly in water. A most 
excellent material for field 
operation. 1 pound to 100 
gallons of water makes 1,000 
parts of 2,4-D per million 
parts of water. Price, f. 0. b. 
Madison, by freight or ex- 
press: 25-lb. drum, $40.50 
each, 
ZOTOX 
(Crab Grass Killer)

juring the lawn. Remarkable chem-

Grass and certain other noxious 
weeds in the lawn which are not 
killed by 2,4-D. It also destroys 
the germinating power of Crab 
Grass Seed, preventing re-infestation, 
16-ounce bottle makes 10 gallons 
of spray which will cover 2,000. sq.

ment and individual patches. Prices:
