DESTROYING WEEDS. 
Weeds are a perennial source of trouble and expense 
to those people who endeavour to keep their establish- 
ments spick and span. The mechanical methods of 
dealing with weeds give no permanent results, and the 
trouble and expense are always recurring. The best means 
of destroying and preventing the growth of weeds on 
paths, gravelled spaces, and chip tennis courts, is to 
use Cooper’s Weedicide in accordance with the following 
directions :— 
To Clean Gravel Paths, " Chip" Tennis Courts, &c. 
(If the surface is hard and dry, give it a sprinkling of 
water, but don't saturate it, before applying Weedicide,) 
Mix at the strength of 
j pint WEEDICIDE to 6 gallons water. 
1 quart |; 2.5 » » 
1 gallon Ју » 100 ” ” 
Stir well and apply with a fine-rosed watering can. 
One gallon of Weedicide, mixed at above strength, is 
sufficient to kill every surface plant on an area of доо 
square yards. : 
Ву the repeated use of Cooper’s Weedicide, paths and 
drives become relatively weed-proof. 
NOTE.—Weedicide applied to the surface in reason- 
able quantity will not injure trees, but do not allow the 
mixture to go on flower beds, path edgings, &c.,as it 
rapidly destroys all vegetable life with which it comes in 
contact, : 
To destroy Docks, Dandelions, and other Weeds in Lawns 
Mix quarter pint of Weedicide with half gallon of 
water, and stir well. It is best applied with a wooden 
skewer, on which, about 14 inches from the point, a small 
piece of sponge or rag has been firmly tied to act as a 
reservoir, Dip in the mixture and pierce the central 
root with the skewer till the sponge touches the plant, . 
Enough of the Weedkiller will thus be squeezed out to 
destroy the weed effectually, f
