 LAWNS I Their Formation and Care . 
 
 CIIERE is nothing; more cha/ming than a wcll-designcl 
 house surrounded by artistically treated ground:'.; and of 
 the essential features of home grounds none is so important 
 as a beautiful lawn — the rich, velvety turf of the smooth, wcU- 
 kept lawn, varying in tones of green with the play of sunlight 
 and cloud shadows, being the heart and life of all. 
 
 " The Tropics may have their delights, but they have not the turf, and the 
 world without turf is a dreary desert. The Teutonic races all love turf; they 
 emigrate in the line of its growth." — Charles Dudley Warner. 
 
 A lawn may be formed either by laying turf or by sowing seed. 
 The gain in time by sodding i.s mostly in anticipation, an ad- 
 vantage so slight as to scarcely be worthy of consideration, 
 while the results obtained by both methods are not to lie com- 
 jiarcil. Sods, no matter how carefully cut and closely laid, 
 often se])arate, leaving crevices about which the grass dies out 
 in drv weather; then the grasses that compotio 5 pasture or 
 roadsi<le sod (generally the kind used for " soddirJg'" lawns) are 
 not at all the best .sorts for forming a perfect la%vn; besides the 
 smooth, elegant surface, such a desirable feature of a lawn, 
 cannot be sectired by sodding. 
 
 A jjcrtect and enduring lawn, one of lu.Kuriant richner.s with 
 clor.cly interwoven, firm, deep and clastic turf, is only createil 
 by sowing a comjjosition of the various kinds of grass seeds 
 suited to the conditions and the climate. Several varieties are 
 needed, that the lawn may be verdure-clad during all seasons 
 and the seeds must be sown lil:iera!ly (at the rate of from four 
 to si.x bushels per acre), not only that a lawn may be produced 
 quickly, but becaur.e the kinds of grasses suitable for perfect 
 lawns are fine-lcaved and should take entire possession of the 
 ground promjjtly, thus checking the development of weeds, the 
 seeds of which are in all soils. The eoar.;e pasture and hum- 
 mock-forniing grasses will not produce a fine lawn. Good, rich, 
 deeply worked soil, either of a friable texture or else under 
 drained, is as necessary for the prodttction of a perfect lawn as 
 for garden crops, although most grasses, being accommodating 
 plants, if they do not get the requisites for best results, will do 
 their best with what is supplied them. Early and frequent 
 mowing and rolling, as well as the liberal application of water 
 through a lawn sprinkler during dry seasons, i.; one of the secrets 
 of maintaining beautiful grcca turf from snow to snow. 
 
 GRADING ^^'^ ""'' infrequently see, after a dwelling costing 
 five, ten, twenty or thirty thousand dollars is 
 erected, that the grounds surrounding it are left to the tender 
 mercy of some ignorant pretender to grade and put in shape. 
 The educated, intclli.'^cnt architect's duties in many cases end 
 with the completion of the building, and the " garden architect " 
 is installed to grade for the lawn; and a comnion consequence 
 is that the beauty of the place may be forever marred, for this 
 matter really in many cases requires as much intelligence and 
 good judgment as the construction of the dwelling itself. One 
 of the first conditions for a perfect lawn is that the land be 
 perfectly drained, either naturally or artificially; if the sub- 
 soil is sand or gravel, so that water can quickly pass throu.gh 
 it, then there will be no need for artificial drains, but if there is 
 a stratum of adhesive clay for a subr.oil, then drains are indis- 
 pensable every fifteen or twenty feet. As the formation of 
 the lawn is tlie foundation of all subsequent operations, it is 
 imperative that it be carefully done; for if badly done at first 
 it cannot be changed or altered, unless to the great detriment 
 of tree.; or shrubs that have been planted or flower beds or walks 
 that have been laid out. 
 
 The first thing to be done is to get the ground shaped to the 
 de;;.ircd grade, taking care in grading that when hills or rocks 
 are removed, sufficient subsoil is al.so removed to be replaced 
 with toiJ soil, so that at least five inches of good soil will overlay 
 the whole in all places; and where trees are to be planted there 
 should be twice that depth of good soil. When the grading 
 i.; finijhe 1. if the nature of the ground requires it, drains should 
 be laid wherever necessary; then the whole should be thor- 
 oughly plowed, a subsoil following in the wake of the com- 
 mon ]j1ow, until it is completely pulverized. A heavy harrow 
 should then be applied until the surface is thoroughly fined 
 down; all stones, roots, etc., should be removed, so that a, 
 smooth surface may be obtained. We have used, with grea.-^ 
 cTe^t and saving of labor, the " Disc Smoothing Harrow.'" 
 w'.ii^h fines and levels the land equal to a steel rake; and w'" 
 ever large areas are in jirepjiration for lawns or m fact f" 
 fiAd culture requiring a fine smooth surface, this imple^ 
 be found to be of great value.

 SEEDING. 
 
 When the seed is sown a light harrow should be 
 again applied, so as to sink the seed one inch or so 
 in the soil, and after that a thorough rolling given, so that the 
 surface is made as smooth and firm as possible. In the latitude 
 of Xew York the seed may be sown any time from April to Oc- 
 tober. If the preparation has been good and the weather is not 
 very dry and unfavorable, a good lawn will be in evidence in 
 . 8 or 10 weeks' time. Under very congenial conditions, new 
 lawns are frecjuently ready for mowing in 6 weeks from sowing. 
 If sown in the hot months of June and July, a sprinkling of oats 
 should be sown at the same time, so that the shade given by the 
 oats will protect the young grass from the sun. Lawns are very 
 often sown during the early Fall months (September being the 
 best) with excellent results. On lime soils Kentucky Blue Grass 
 is sometimes used alone, but for a firm, caq)et-like lawn the 
 " Hender-son " Lawn Mixture is preferable, as it contains some 
 grasses which give cjuiek results, and form a good turf the same 
 year as sown, while a satisfactory turf cannot be established 
 by using Kentucky Blue Grass alone under two or three years. 
 For small plots, of course, digging, trenching and raking must 
 be done instead of plowing, stibsoiling and harrowing, and the 
 surface after sowing should be patted down with the back of a 
 spade or rolled with a roller. 
 
 QUANTITY OF SEED REQUIRED, ^^tjfer ^"quantity ^o'f 
 seed required to form a perfect lawn, wemay state that one quart 
 of Lawn Grass Mixture is sufficient to thoroughly .sow an area 
 20 feet by 15 feet — 300 square feet — or to cover an acre five bush- 
 els will be required. It should be borne in mind that, in order to 
 produce the best results, grass seed for lawns should be sown at 
 least twice as thick as if sown for hay. In fact, if very rapid re.sults 
 are wanted, a lawn will be much quicker obtained by using one- 
 third more seed per acre — in a lawn of about an acre in extent, 
 which we made, six bushels of the "Henderson" Mixture were 
 sown on the 25th of April, harrowed well in, then rolled firmly 
 with a heavy iron roller — the result was that by July 1st, or about 
 sixty days from the date of sowing, a perfect lawn was obtained, 
 having had to be twice mowed over by :nachine previous to that 
 date. 
 
 On sloping banks it is often 
 necessary to use sod, as the 
 rains wash the soil off before the grass seed has time to germi- 
 nate. It is sometimes even necessarj', in sodding very steep 
 banks, to use pins eight or ten inches in length to pin the sods 
 in place, to prevent them from being washed down by excessive 
 rains before the grass roots have had time to fasten in the soil. 
 In small yards sodding is often done so as ti.) get immediate re- 
 sults; but in all such cases great care should be taken to see 
 that the sods used are of the proper, quality otherwise it is much 
 better to wait a few weeks for the lawn seed to produce the 
 lawn. The " Terrace Sod " mixture which we offer is composed 
 ' 'f deep-rooting grasses, which, if once established, will hold the 
 soil and prevent washing, and we advise liberal fertilizing and 
 seeding so that the grasses may be quickly established. 
 QfTAnV T AWWQ When a lawn is much shaded, either in 
 SilAUI l^AWiia. .jvhole or in part, the shaded portions 
 should be sown with the " Shady Nook " Lawn Grass Mixture, 
 which is a combination of fine dwarf-growing evergreen varie- 
 ties, which in their wild or natural state are to be found growing 
 in the woods or other sheltered or shady spots. Under or in the 
 immediate neighborhood of large trees fertilizers should be ap- 
 plied lihierally and frequently, for the trees absorb the fertilizer 
 and impoverish the ground. Ground much shaded is very fre- 
 quently sour, and if the drainage is defective it is apt to be 
 covered with moss. In such cases an application of lime raked 
 into the soil is an excellent corrector and sweetener, but the 
 moss should be first removed by means of a sharp rake. 
 ■PPPTTT TyyjP The qiiestion of fertilizers for the lawn is an 
 rt.Kl.i.Lll.U'iKj. important one. If the soil is naturally a deep, 
 rich loam, it is not indispensable that manure at all be used the 
 first season of sowing, although in every case it would be an 
 advantage, and is really essential if the soil is poor or light. 
 Perhaps the best way to apply wcU-rottcd stable manure is to 
 spread it thick enough to cover the ground after plowing or dig- 
 ging, and then harrow or rake it in ; though a little more costly, 
 the best plan to insure permanency for the lawn is to use from 
 1,500 to 2,000 lbs. per acre of coarse ground bone (or better still, 
 about half the above quantity of bone and the other half of 
 Henderson's Lawn Enricher), or in that proportion over lesser. 
 
 TERRACES AND SLOPES. 
 
 areas, the bone decomposes slowly, giving lasting enrichment; 
 while the Lawn Enricher gives immediate results, the combi- 
 nation of these two fertilizers is lasting in efiiect, insuring a 
 " velvet lawn," under ordinary circumstances, for four or six 
 years without further application of mantire. 
 
 When the land has not been fertilized before sowing, it is nec- 
 essary to use some top-dressing of manure each season to keep 
 up the fertility of the lawn, and nothing is better for this pur- 
 pose than to spread over it late in the fall (Xovember or Decem- 
 ber) wdl-rottcd short stable manure enough to partially cover 
 the surface. On no account should fresh stable manure be used, 
 or the lawn will be very apt to be ruined by the introduction of 
 weed seeds. This should be allowed to remain on until such 
 time as the grass shows signs of starting in the Spring, when 
 t'.ie rough portion should be raked off and a heavy roller applied, 
 so that the surface of the lawn be rendered smooth and firm for 
 the mower. If the toji-dressing of well-rotted stable manure has 
 been omitted in the Fall, fine bone dust mixed with finely sifted 
 wood ashes, in equal parts, may be sown on the lawn about as 
 thick as sand is usually strewn on the floor, and rolled down, and 
 we advise that the lawn be rolled several times during the Spring. 
 STTMTir ATTNP Where very quick results are required, or m 
 olliVi Ui^Aili'lvi. case a lawn is becoming bare or patchy in 
 spots, caused by wear and tear or otherwise, the grasses may be 
 forced into a quick growth by applying nitrate of soda at the rate 
 of 200 lbs. per acre. If put on in the dry state it should be ap- 
 plied just before a shower, otherwise it is apt to burn the grasses; 
 but the safer plan is to dissolve one pound of the nitrate in 
 thirty to forty gallons of water and sprinkle with the solution. 
 l\/rr»'VX7'Tl\rP should be begun in Spring as soon as the grass is 
 MUWllNLr ^^y(j ijj. three inches high, and continue every seven 
 cjr eight days until the cessation of growth in Fall. If the 
 lawn is gone over with the mower once a week, the clippings 
 are best left on, as the sun quickly shrivels them up, so that 
 they never appear unsightly; but if mowing is delayed two or 
 three weeks, then the grass must be raked off. 
 
 It sometimes happens that the soil contains seeds of perennial 
 weeds; and such seeds are rarely found in the grass seed, such 
 as dandelion, dock or thistles, which seriously interfere with the 
 beauty of the lawn. When this occurs, there is no other remedy 
 than the slow process of cutting them out with the knife or spud. 
 Crab grass, known also as five-finger grass and summer grass, 
 is one of the commonest pests to contend with, and is especially 
 troublesome in dry seasons. It is, however, only an annual 
 coming up froni seed each year. A mowing machine will not 
 cut off all the seed stems, for some grow along the ground and 
 bend before the mowing machine, and the best plan is to loosen 
 it up with a rake and use the scythe a few times, cutting both 
 ways so as to get all of the seeding stems. Lawn grass seed 
 should be sown thickly on these spots and the lawn heavily 
 fertilized in Spring. The crab grass .seed does not usually germi- 
 nate tmtil warm weather, and if there is a good healthy turf 
 at that time the seed is less likely to germinate. We therefore 
 advise, so as to induce a good healthy growth, that when cutting 
 the grass during May, the lawn mower be set high so that the 
 grass will not be cut too sort. 
 
 The benefit derived from using a roller on the 
 
 ROLLING. 
 
 lawn, especially in the Spring, is not fully under- 
 
 stood. The action of freezing and thawing causes the ground to 
 heave, and if it is not firmly pressed back with a roller before hot 
 weather, the grass is apt to be killed or injured, leaving the lawn 
 full of bare spots. For use on the lawn always take a "tivo or three 
 section " roller, as they can be turned without injuring the grass. 
 A o,;0-lb. roller is about as heavy as one man can pull, though a 
 400-lb. will be better if you have two persons to operate it. 
 TJ'CWO'UATTWP "^^ renovate lawns that have become worn 
 
 Kr/INUV Ailrlvj. ^yj- ),y neglect or other causes, and where 
 it is not convenient or desirable ro renew by plowing up, they 
 may be greatly benefited by ninning a light harrow over, if the 
 surface is large, or by a. sharp steel rake for smaller areas. After 
 stirring the surface by such means judiciously, so as not to hurt 
 too severely the roots, lawn grass should be sown over the 
 surface, harrowing or raking in about half the quantity advi.sed 
 for new lawns. After sowing, the surface should be harrowed or 
 raked over, and finnly rolled or beaten down, but if spurious 
 grass or other weeds have gpt possession of the lawn, then this 
 way of renovation would not be satisfactory, and it had better be 
 plowed under and sown fresh in the manner already given for 
 the formation of the lawn.

 Th 
 
 ' Henderson " Lawn Grass Seed produces a perfect and enduring lawn 
 of lu.vuriant richness, ^yith closely interwoven, firm, deep and elastic turf, and 
 it is often read>' for cutting in four weeks from time of sowing. This celebrated 
 Lawn Grass is composed of a thoroughly balanced combination of various native 
 and foreign fine-leaved, decp-rnoting Grasses of interweaving habit, that flourish 
 under our varied conditions, soils and climates, gi-owing during different seasons 
 of the year, so that a deep green, smooth, and velvety sward, free from clumps, 
 is maintained from snow to snow, year after year, and without burning brown 
 in summe'. its constant luxuriance rivaling the famous lawns of Old Englantl. 
 The Beautiful Lawns at the Pan-j^merican Exposition. Buffalo, also at the 
 World's Fair in Chicago, the Lewis and Clark Exposition in Portland. Oregon, 
 and the Jamestown Exposition, Norfolk. Va., were produced in less than six 
 weeks' time with The " Henpekson " L.wvN Grass Seed, which was awarded 
 the highest medal at these Expositions; but what we prize more than gold medals 
 are the hundreds of letters of praise we have on file from the users of The 
 " Henderson " Lawn Ckass Seed in almost every State in the Union. I See 
 pages 4 and ■">). 
 
 Regardinr Kentucky Blue Grass, so widely advertised as an ideal lawn Grass, 
 it has merits and demerits. Where Blue Grass thrives it eventually makes a 
 good lawn, but it is slow to thicken up, requiring not less than two years to 
 form a good sward, and does not hold its color in hot weather; it will not thrive 
 on acid soils, and a large proportion of the soils in our lower altitudes, es- 
 pecially in the Coast States, are inclined to acidity. Kentucky Blue Grass is 
 used for lawns on limestone soils, but the results of this or any one Grass in no 
 way conpare with the beauty and fine velvety texture of lawns made with an 
 intelligently blenderl mixture of Grasses of neat, close, interweaving growth, 
 such as compose the " Henderson " Lawn Grass mixture; and besides, the 
 l.ilter will make a thick, close turf in a few weeks' time. 
 
 The " Henderson " Lawn Grass Seed is, relatively speaking, the cheapest 
 seed offered, because, while other lawn Grass mixtures on the market will not 
 average over 1-1 lbs. to the bushel, this, being freed from chaff, weighs 20 lbs. 
 per measured bushel. It is also the PrREST, Clea.nest and He.wiest lawn 
 Grass seed ever offered and it is absolutely free from weed seeds. 
 
 We have made the formation and renovation of lawns a study for years, and thousands of the finest lawns and grass plots in America were 
 obtained by using the " HENDERSON " LAWN GRASS SEED and following our instructions.

 'SHADY NOOK" 
 
 LAWN GRASS SEED. 
 
 Quickly Covers Bare Spots Under Trees with Beautiful Turf 
 
 in Six Weeks' Time. 
 
 THE BEST GRASS SEED FOR SHADY LAWNS. 
 
 On nearl)- all lawns there are unsightly bare spots under tlie shade of trees, 
 which have baffled all efforts to get into grass, but with this mixture there need 
 be no further difficulty. It is a combination of fine, dwarf-growing, evergreen 
 varieties, which in their wild or natural state are to be found growing in the 
 woods or other sheltered and shaded spots. Ground that has been densely 
 shaded by trees is frequently " sour." and if the drainage is defective it is 
 •apt to be covered with moss and coarse bog grasses. In such cases an applica- 
 tion of slaked lime, at the rate of one bushel to each thousand square feet, or 
 forty bushels to the acre, is an excellent corrective and sweetener, but the moss 
 should be first removed by the use of a sharp rake . 
 
 Where the shade is very dense the grasses are liable to be thinned out during 
 the late fall and winter through the ground being kept too wet. An additional 
 quantity of Shady Nook Grass Seed should be sown every spring. The extra 
 seeding will keep the lawn in good condition during the summer.

 LAWN GRASS SEED. 
 
 Where the grasses of the North 
 approach the grasses of the tropics 
 there is an irregular belt of terri- 
 tory — approximately from South 
 Carolina westward (no definite 
 line can be drawn on account 
 of varying altitudes) where the 
 heat and drought of summer 
 burn out the favorite lawn grasses 
 of the north unless liberally 
 watered; and yet sections in 
 this belt are subject to some 
 freezing weather in winter, which 
 excludes the satisfactory use of 
 the St. Augustine and Bermuda 
 grasses so extensively used for 
 lawns in the extreme south and 
 in warm semi-arid sections. Con- 
 sequently, for localities where 
 the above conditions apply our 
 " Sunny South " mixture will be 
 found thoroughly satisfactory. It 
 is a blend of foreign and indige- 
 nous grasses naturally adapted to 
 withstand heat and drought, and 
 also some freezing, and with a 
 little attention to sprinkling oc- 
 casionally during dry hot weather 
 until established, will furnish a 
 permanent lawn, green the year 
 round.

 "LAWN GRASS 
 bEED. 
 
 Along our sea coast there are many beautiful summer 
 homes and resorts with such sandy saline surroundings 
 that a turf of the favorite lawn grasses cannot be pro- 
 duced. We have so often made up a mixture of special 
 grasses to thrive under these trying conditions that we 
 have concluded to offer it for the benefit of others who 
 may be having the same " trouble in getting grass to 
 grow." We do not claim that our " Sea Side " lawn grass 
 will make a lawn equalling in fine velvety texture those 
 produced with the " Henderson Lawn Grass Seed." but 
 our " Sea Side " mixture will make a good turf of green on 
 sand where the finer grasses are not so likely to thrive, 
 though of course the sand must be top dressed with not 
 less than 2 inches of soil before even our " Sea Side " grass 
 seed is sown, to enable the young grass to get a start, after 
 which tlic long roots — pecuHar to the varieties we use in 
 this mixture — drive down deeply in the sand and remain 
 permanently self-sustaining — if attention is given to 
 sprinkling during dry weather. 
 
 The lawns surrounding the Manhattan Beach and 
 Oriental Hotels illustrated below were made years ago under 
 the exact conditions we describe above with our special 
 " Sea Side " Lawn Grass mixture, and they still remain 
 in beautiful condition, excepting in places where the salt

 spreading roots, thus preventing heavy rains 
 from washing them out; that will withstand 
 drought and exposure, thrive on shallow soils, 
 and at the same time produce a rich, velvety

 'GOOD TURF KINDLES A GOLFERS HEART."— Harry Vardon 
 
 We have given much attention to grasses for Golf Courses. When Golf 
 first became popular, one of our representatives visited several of the famous 
 Scotch Links and found that most of the grasses which formed these Links can 
 ^ grown here. The mixtures we offer below are largely composed of such varie- 
 ties as will thrive here with the addition of several equally fine American 
 varieties, and are the result of experiments conducted on our grounds, as well 
 as careful watching for several years of the practical results obtained on Golf 
 Courses sown with our grass seeds, such as the Golf Courses named, and 
 nearly all well-known Courses in the United States, By the use of these Mix- 
 tures, and with proper care, the finest Fair Greens anrl Putting Greens in the 
 world can be successfully rivalled, and if conditions are fa\orabIe. a good playing 
 turf may be secured in eight weeks from time of sowing and lasting indefinitely. 
 
 As an example erf what may be accomplished with Henderson's Golf Course 
 Grass Seed we will mention that of the Eagle Nest Golf and Country Club in the 
 Adirondack Mountains. On May loth, the ground was bare, having just 
 been plowefl and harrowed. It was then sown with our Grass Mixtures, the 
 same as offered on this page, and the Course was in first class playing condition 
 by July 15th, exactly eight weeks from time of sowing. 
 
 Several members of our establishment are golfers, and we thoroughly under- 
 stand the requirements, and will at all times be pleased to correspond with and 
 advise Green Committees.

 Green Lawns the Year Kound in the Semi -Tropical South By Sowing 
 Bermuda Grass For the Summer Lawn and English Rye Grass for the Winter Lawn. 
 
 Bermuda Grass Seed. 
 
 BERML^DA GRASS is the most important and valuable grass for lawns in 
 the extreme South. A well kept lawn of this grass is a refreshing and beauti- 
 ful sight. It is of low creeping habit, roots from the stem joints and forms a 
 dense sod. It will grow on almost any soil, thriving best on rich land, but 
 will also thrive on poor sandy lanri. In moist climates it will grow in nearly pure 
 sand, making a good sand binder and bank holder. It revels in the heat 
 and direct rays of the sun, remaining green through the long tropical and 
 sub-tropical summers, when any other type of grass adapted for lawns would 
 burn out. Although Bermuda Grass is especially adapted for lawn formation 
 in the extreme South, and may be grown as far north as Richmond, Va.. and 
 St. Louis, without being winter killed, yet the further north it is grown the 
 shorter will be its season of green, as the foliage turns brown after the first frost 
 and does not " green out " until after frosts cease in spring For this reason 
 in sections subject to frosts an associate winter grass, usually English Rye 
 Grass, is sown in the fall over the Bermuda Grass lawn after the surface has 
 been scarified. These two associate grasses thus furnish a green lawn the 
 year round in the Southern States. For law-n purposes sow 6 lbs. of Bermuda 
 Grass Seed per acre. It is best sown in the spring, as it germinates best in 
 warm weather. Price, of Seed, $1.50 per lb,, 100 lbs. ^a $1.40 per lb. 
 
 English P\ye Grass Seed. 
 
 This most valuahie grass for the North is also particularly useful in sections of 
 the South as an associate with Bermuda (irass where tlie latter turns brown in the 
 winter. By sowing Rye Grass in the fall right over the Bermuda Grass Sod, 
 raking and rolling the seed in a green lawn may be had throughout the winter 
 until warm weather again starts the Bermuda Grass into growth, when the 
 Rye Grass will die out. The ground must be reseeded with Rye Grass each 
 Fall. Rye Grass is of rapid growth coming up in S to 10 days time and soon 
 covers the ground with a dense growth of green grass which if kept mown 
 forms a fine sward. Sow at the rate of W pounds per acre. 
 
 Price, 12c, per lb.; $9.00 per 100 lbs.; .«L'.25 per bush, of 24 lbs. 
 THE METHOD OF A GEORGIA CUSTOMER IN MAINTAINING A GREEN 
 LAWN THE YEAR ROUND. 
 
 Gentlemen'. I enclose you the details of my phivi in maintaining a green lawn the 
 year round in this climate, xvhere ordinary grasses burn out in summer. The ex- 
 periment has been a success in every way, and you may with confidence recommend 
 this plan to your Southern customers. 
 
 Area i acre, sowed the Bermuda Grass Seed Jan. '.ilst. Our soil is very light 
 with clay subsoil. I put it in good condition, 'plmving in 200 lbs. Cotton Seed Meal 
 on the i acre, sowed the Bermuda Grass Seed Jan 'Alst (6 lbs. per acre). Several 
 subsequent rollings witli ti light roller had a good effect. On may -ith during a 
 rain broadcasted 12 lbs. of Nitrate of Soda over the \ acre with good results. This 
 Bermuda Grass gave us a first-class green lawn all summer, it stands mowing and 
 cares for no drought, the first frost kills it to the ground. October 2d applied a top 
 dressing of rich soil and cotton seed meal and raked in English Rye Grass Seed in 
 the proportion of 50 lbs. per acre and rolled the ground The latter grass seed com-^s 
 up in eis.ht days, in six weeks it is a mass of green and gives a good lawn all jvintc; 
 it dies out in May. leaving the ground clear for the Bermuda Grass, the roots of which 
 survive in the ground here through the winter.

 market, and while the prices are necessarily a little higher 
 than those of Mowers simply made to sell, yet in the end 
 our Mower will prove much cheaper, aside from annoying 
 delays and repairs experienced with cheap Mowers. It is 
 superior to all other Mowers in the following respects: the 
 axles of the revolving cutter, like the axles of a bicycle, 
 work in self-adjusting " ball-bearing '* journal boxes or 
 cups, which reduces the friction enormously. The Mower 
 Is also built scientilically correct in other respects: The 
 "tension drawcut" principle corrects the defect in "push 
 cut" Lawn Mowers, and completely reverses the old way 
 of cutting the grass. The grass is drawn across the sharp 
 edge of the Stationary Knife, which is the cutting knife, 
 and is severed most easily. (See illustration). 
 
 It causes the mower to operate much more easily. It 
 prevents the mower from " bobbing up " in the rear thus 
 ensuring an even cut. The heavier the grass, the closer 
 the mower clings to the turf. It makes the mower self 
 sharpening; the drawing of the wiper blades across the edge of the stationary knife keeps it 
 always sharp and prevents gouging. Where the "push cut" style of mower requires "sharpening" 
 adozen times, the Henderson Bali-Bearing "tension drawcut" mower will not need it once. It 
 Is strictly a high class Mower, made from the highest quality of iron and steel. The castings art 
 lathe-turned and bored, and the journals machine-trimmed, which insures trueness in fitting 
 and smoothness in working, with no irregularities to wear off and leave rattle and play. We 
 have so simplified the adjustments in our new Ball-Bearing Mower that even those ignorant 
 of mechanics will have no trouble in always keeping our Mower in fine cutting order for years 
 and the lawn in uninjur<--d condition. 
 
 THE HENDERSON BALL-BEARING MOWER has high drive wheels, large, open five-blade, 
 non-clogging cylinder. The spiral of the knives is correctly proportioned to give a continuous 
 cu:, leaving the lawn as smooth as if shaved, entirely free from the corrugated surface left 
 by other Mowers. The handles are braced and reinforced to prevent twisting and breaking 
 when one side of the Mower is held off the ground, and besides the handle is equipped with 
 improve<l " grips." which keeps the hands in a natural position, gives more power, and is less 
 tiresome than a continued grasp, with wrists twisted, on a horizontal grip. 
 
 GRASS CATCHERS for the Henderson " Ball-Bearing '* Lawn Mowers are of superior 
 
 heavy duck; bottom of galvanized iron that will not sag nor drag on the ground when filled; 
 they are quickly attached, removed or dumped.

 THE HENDERSON EIGHT BLADED 
 
 "Putting Green" Mower. 
 
 SelF-Adjusting Ball Bearings. Close and Smooth Cutting. 
 
 We offer this mower to Golf Clubs as the very best mower ever devised for smooth, close 
 work on putting greens. The tension draw cut principle by which the grass is drawn across 
 the lower blade and shaved off is a great improvement over the push or gouging out of other 
 iawn mowers. The draw cut makes the mower self sharpening. It has an eight-bladed re- 
 volving cutter working in ball-bearings and speeded high, thus leaving the cut surface of the 
 " green " absolutely free from corrugations, and almost as smooth as a billiard table. The 
 knives can be set so low that they will fairly shave the ground if desired; though on a level, 
 well rolled green, with close, fine turf, a quarter to a half-inch clip leaves the surface in the 
 nicest condition for putting. The aggravation experienced by many golfers after driving off in 
 good shape and coming through the fair green equal to Col, Bogey, only to fall down in putting 
 on account of the uneven surface of the " green." impresses the victim with the importance of 
 having a mower used that will leave the surface as smooth as possible. 
 
 Henderson's " Putting Green " Mower is a thoroughly high-grade machine, carefully built 
 of finest material, the knives especially being of finest steel. It runs easy considering the 
 number of knives and fine cut. Guaranteed satisfactory.

 FULLY WARRANTED.

 THE LATEST AND BEST. 
 
 Knives can be raised or lowered instantly. Side draught \applicable to either side) keeps horse off uncut grass. 
 
 THIS is tlie be?t horst'-power mower manufactured, simple in construction, very durable; nothing but the very best 
 steel and iron are put in it. It is quickly adjusted to cut high or low. and the arrangement for throwing in and 
 out of gear and for raising the knives when passing over stones, rough places or roads is operated from the seat. 
 The side draught (applicahle to ei'her side) keeps the horse on the cut grass and prevents trampling down that which is 
 to be mown. The revolving knives are " high speeded," making a continuous cut and leaving the surface of the lawn as 
 smooth as velvet. These mowers are fitted with a two-section roller and weigh, exclusive of shafts. 30-inch cut, 445 lbs.; 
 .i.'j-inch cut. 490 lbs.; 40-in. cut, 540 lbs.; to this may be added the weight of the man if he rides, thereby rolling the lawn 
 with a very respi^ctalile weight at the same time it is cutting: or the cutter may be thrown out o( gear by the movement 
 of a lever and the machine be used for rolling alone.

 Henderson's Improved Leather Horse Boots. 
 
 These are of best quality and will not stretch out of shape 
 like cheap boots. The soles are two thickness of best sole 
 leather riveted together. These boots strap about the hoof and 
 do not chafe nor wear off the hair like tall boots that fasten 
 about the leg. In ordering send outline of hoof. Price, per set of 4. $10.00. 
 
 THE GREGG METAL HORSE BOOT. 
 
 The best metal boot, very dural>le being entirely made of steel. It ad- 
 justs perfectly to the hoof by front and back screws and overcomes the 
 
 objection to other meta! boots that we are acquainted with which either fasten to the shoe, tending to 
 loosen it or pull it off. or else fasten around the hoof by a single ciamp or screw at the back which 
 tends to pinch in the frog. The Gregg Boot is made in 5 sizes. In ordering send outline of hoof.

 THE UNIVERSAL LAWN TRIMMER. 
 
 The latest and best machine that we know of for trimming grass 
 close up to the fence or wall, thus reducing hand work with shears 
 tu a minimum. It will also be found handy for trimming up around 
 trees, under bushes, etc., and in cemeteries it will be a tioon. It cuts 
 6 incfies in width. This Lawn Trimmer is a high-grade machine in 
 every respect with self-adjusting ball bearings preventing any " end 
 play." thus keeping the knives always set, wearing to the same bevel 
 and therefore always sharp. The handle being on line with the 
 driving wheel overcomes the tendency of the machine to run side- 
 wise — so annoying in other machines designed for a similar 
 purpose. Price, So.OO.

 T^S APOLLO ROTARY LAWN SWEEPER. 
 
 A thoroughly satisfactory macliine for sweeping the lawn after mowing The sweeper gives you a perfect lawn as soon as the sweep- 
 ing is finished instead of looking gray for several days owing to the withered cut grass. If the sweeper and lawn mower are run in 
 opposite directions, the lawn will be the same shade of color all over. It 
 gathers up and throws into the large collecting box all cut grass, leaves, 
 small stones, sticks, etc.; nothing escapes When the box is full it is 
 quickly dumped by pulling a cord. It works something like a carpet 
 sweeper, having revolving flexible fibre brushes. It can be set low or high, 
 as desired. It is simple, strong, and easily pushed by a man or boy, leaving 
 the lawn in beautiful condition, clean, bright and green. While essentially 
 a lawn sweeper, yet it is equally valuable for sweeping walks, stables, 
 warehouses, etc., for which rubber-tired wheels can be supplied at an extra 
 cost. Prices, 20-in. sweep, $!?• 00; 2S-in. sweep. $15. OU. 
 
 Xbg Pennsylvania Rotary Lawn Rake. 
 
 This is virtually a revoh'ing lawn comb. ha\'ing flexible steel wire teeth 
 instead of fibre brushes as in the Apollo Sweeper ofiered above, the latter 
 being a surface sweeper, while the wire teeth of the revolving lawn rake 
 go between the blades of grass and comb out all dead grass, crab grass, 
 leaves, sticks and other rubbish. It leaves the grass standing upright. 
 The action of the three revolving rakes raises up the creeping crab grass 
 and other low growing weeds so the lawn mower can cut them before going to 
 seed, thus effectually ridding the lawn of annual weeds In other respects 
 the operation of the two machines is similar, both having dumpable col- 
 lecting boxes, etc. {See cut.) Price, 24-inch machine. Slti.OO. (Weight, 
 packed for shipment. 9U lbs.) 
 
 THE .APOLLO L-\WN' SWEEPER

 For Golf Greens and Tennis Courts. 
 
 A Veritable Comb and Brush for Grass. 
 
 This machine — a veritable comb and brush for grass — is a necessity for Golf, Country, 
 Tennis and Bowling Green clubs — enabling them to put and keep their grass greens, courts 
 and lawns in perfect playing condition at a great saving of time, labor and expense. In 
 fact the '■ Apollo Special " will do as much work in ten minutes as can be accomplished 
 with a rake and broom in one hour — and do it far better. It will remove worm casts, ant 
 hills, cut and dead grass, leaves, twigs, stones and all obstructing litter, leaving the turf 
 clean, smooth and well groomed. 
 
 The machine is easily pushed by one man and cleans a swath 28 inches wide as fast as 
 one can walk. The revolving brush is geared to sweep forward thus throwing all refuse 
 into the collecting box, which is quickly dumped by pulling a cord. 
 
 The revolving brush is composed of tufts of flexible wire teeth — followed by tufts of 
 fibre bristles, which sweep up what the wire teeth comb out of the grass. The fibre used 
 is of palmetto, very durable and not affected by water.

 A horse-power machine for cutting sod in long strips; an important and valuable implement for golf grounds, 
 parks and other places which have much sod laying or repairing to do. It cuts the sod of uniform width and thick- 
 ness, in any length, so that it is particularly adapted to giving solidity to slopes in cuts and on embankments, 
 working equally well on level or uneven surface, cutting both ways with the land, and leaving no sod uncut, being 
 light of draft, easily managed, strong, neat and durable. It is the best and cleanest sod-cutting machine in Amer- 
 ica. Has a Reversible Knife made of one piece of steel. While one side dulls, the opposite edge is getting sharp- 
 ened; cannot get choked. An Adjustable Roller regulates the thickness of the sod from one-half inch to two 
 inches; the front roller swings back under the guide-shoe and takes the..ijyeight when the machine is not cutting. 
 
 The guide-shoe can be, changed to either side in a minute; no 
 friction or injury to the grass. The knife can be cleaned with- 
 out turning over the machine. 
 
 One machine will cut from 30.000 to 40.000 square feet per day, 
 doing the work of forty men; the expense saved between cutting 
 by hand and with horse power in one day is enough to pay the

 The Eureka Tennis Marker. 
 
 A patented device for marking tennis courts, baseball and football IilMs, and is the simplest and 
 most efficient marker in existence. It works equally well on dirt or grass and is so designed that an 
 absolutely clean cut line is made. Water and slaked lime is used and there are no brushes to clog and 
 wear. The marker consist of a galvanized iron tank 
 from which a half-inch pipe leads to the marking 
 shoe. This shoe trails along on the ground and is 
 made with three paths of flow so that the lime is 
 evenly distributed. The flow is controlled by a valve 
 regulated by a lever. The marker can be operated 
 at the speed of a moderately fast walk and about teti 
 minutes is a fair estimate for the time required to 
 mark a tennis court. When once marked the line- 
 may be followed indefinitely and in a sliort time be- 
 comes deep and permanent. The Eureka Tennis 
 Marker is made throughout of the best materials, 
 and with ordinary care will last a life-time, it

 The "VelveMawn" 
 
 The "Velvet=Lawn" Seeders for Band and Horse Power. 
 
 Valuable new machines involving new principles. They put the seed IN either 
 new ground or old sod. For renewing or thickening the grass and renovating 
 bad spots in lawns, tennis courts, putting greens, et::., without replowing, redigging, 
 or marring the surface these "Velvet-Lawn'* Seeders are wonderfully efficient. 
 
 Illustrating one of the re- 
 volving discs cutting a narrow 
 gash in the sod and the boot 
 sowing the seed immediately 
 behind the gash which is then 
 closed by the roller following. 
 
 The Velvet-Lawn Seeders are valuable new machines involving new principles in seeding lawns whereby the seed is put IN 
 the ground whether freshly prepared for a new lawn to be laid — or old sod that needs replenishing with out replowing, redigging 
 or marring the surface. The seed is evenly distributed, wind or no wind, much or little as may be desired, and at any required 
 reasonable depth according to how the machine is adjusted by the operator. The even distribution of the seed and its uniform 
 depth insures an even stand of grass — not too thick in some places and too thin in others. The illustration on the left shows 
 how the above ^jlaims are accomplished. The revolving steel discs cut a narrow gash or trench in the ground or sod — the seed 
 is forced through the " boot " the spout of which directs the seed into the trench when at its deepest immediately under the 
 rear of the cutting discs, the roller than follows closing up the gash and of course covering the seed. As each disc, seed spout 
 and j-oller work individually they therefore adapt themselves to inequalities of the ground, insuring a perfect stand of grass, 
 and the cutting (not tearing) of the old sod in this way has proven beneficial, a sort of a cultivation that relieves its hide bound 
 condition. The machines have " force feeds " one to each disc and seed spout — every feed sows an equal amount of seed and 
 a guage regulates the quantity sown whether the machines are going fast or slow. The fiow of seed can immediately be shut 
 off by moving a lever. 
 
 The seed must grow because it is IN the ground and not on top of it. No seed is wasted. Birds can not get it, rain cannot 
 wash it nor wind blow it away. 
 
 THE HAND POWER VELVET-LAWN SEEDER has eight discs with accompanying seed spouts and rollers, these sow two 
 inches apart— or a strip 16 inches wide and as fast as a man can walk. It will sow and cross sow an area 30x150 ft. in 30 minutes. 
 In new ground (or soft turf) it can be pushed by a man or strong boy, but in old hard sod it may require another person to pull 
 by attaching a rope. In addition to sowing grass and clover seeds this machine will drill in such vegetable seeds as onion, radish, 
 lettuce, etc. By covering the feed openings in the hopper, the rows may be 2, 4, 6, S. 10, 12, 14 or 16 inches apart. 
 
 Price for Hand Power " Velvet-Lawn " Seeder $15.00 net. 
 
 THE ONE HORSE POWER " VELVET-LAWN " SEEDER has 16 discs with accompanying seed spouts and rollers. These 
 sow 'S inches apart or a strip four feet wide. It is very light in draft and can be operated by any boy who can drive a horse. 
 It will be found invaluable for seeding large lawns, parks and golf courses — either new ground or renovating old turf, and is equally 
 valuable for sowing clover, alfalfa, etc., reseeding new or old meadows and pastures.

 PETER HENDERt^OM A CO., NEW YORK 
 
 HENDERSON'S SUPERIOR IRON HAND ROLLERS. 
 
 These are very superior Rollers; the edges are beveled to pre- 
 vent marking; the faces are ground smooth so they will not pick 
 up and carry lumps of earth; the axles are of steel; the sections 
 fit closely and the handles are of our improved design, will not 
 break and are counterbalanced so they always keep up from the 
 ground, clean and out of the way. 
 
 The 7vt:ighls vhen are mtnal, whidi fact should be taken into con- 
 sideration in comparing prices with rollers of manufacturers that run 
 15% to 25% less than advertised weights. 
 
 The benefit derived from using a roller on the lawn is inestimal^lf. 
 Freezing and thawing causes the ground to heave, and if not firmly 
 pressed back with a roller before hot weather, the grass is apt to 
 be killed or injured, leaving the lawn full of bare spots. A lawn oii 
 which a roller is frequently used is never troubled with moles. 
 
 From 300 lbs. to 500 lbs. is the weight chosen for one-man power 
 for average level lawns. Remember that the heavier the roller us(_'d 
 on your lawn the finer .sward you will have. 
 
 WEIGHT BOXES {see illustration) can be supplied on any roller 
 larger thati number .3. at an extra price according to the size of roller, 
 as quoted in column to the right. The weight box weighs abowt 
 -50 lbs. and may be loaded with stone or iron to any desired weight

 The Henderson Patent Water Ballast Roller^ 
 
 WEIGHT MAY BE INCREASED OR LIGHTENED AT WILL. 
 
 The advantages of a Roller, the weight of which can be increased or lightened 
 t pleasure, can scarcely be over-estimated. Often on light or sandy 
 sdil. or on newly-made lawns, or in early spring when the ground is 
 niiiist, or after a rainy spell, a lighter weight Roller is a necessity; 
 then on thick sward or on hard snil, on walks anil roads, a heavy 
 Roller is needed. With a Henderson Water Ballast Roller one 
 an secure any weight desired, between minimum and maxi- 
 mum, by simply removing a thumb-cap from each end and 
 filling the two hollow sections with as much water or sand 
 as may be needed, which is easily and quickly done with 
 a hose or through a funnel; and the roller is as quickly 
 emptied. The inside being heavily galvanized, it will last 
 for years. These are perfect Rollers, and do perfect work 
 on lawns, tennis courts, golf grounds, roads, walks, etc. 
 They are high grade in every respect, being carefully 
 manufactured of best materials. They will be found 
 practic:^lly noiseless and very durable. The rolling sur- 
 faces are very smooth and will not gather grass or .soil; 
 the sections fit closely, leaving no mark, and the diameters 
 are large, insuring a lighter draft for a given weight than 
 is usual with equivalent weight. 
 
 Weighs 300 lbs.; loads with water or sand up to 600 lbs.; 
 tracks, 24 inches; diameter of drums, 24 inches; counter- 
 balanced handle, stands erect when not in use. Price, $28.00.

 quirements in rolling

 The "Henderson" Barrow. 
 
 This barrow is light, strong and durable, has a steel wheel and axle and oil- 
 tempered sprinRS. and we do not hesitate to say that it is the best barrow on 
 the market and as well painted, striped and varnished ar. a buggy. While its 
 carrying capacity is from 300 to 500 pounds, its weight is less than 40 pounds; 
 fully warranted to stand the roughest usage. 
 
 The tire being wide makes it rrtore desirable for lawn and garden use and a 
 stronger wheel for the pavements. The shoe brace, running from the rear of 
 the body to the foot of leg, is a great protection to the leg against breakage, 
 and prevents it from sinking into soft ground. The barrov/ is made of selected 
 material, and %vill outlast several of the cheaper, heavy, clumsy barrows. 
 Weight. 39 pounds; body, 26 inches by 221 inches by 12 inches deep; diameter 
 of wheel. 20 inches; width of tire. 1 -' inches. Price, S5.00.

 A Good Lawn Sprinkler is a necessary 
 adjunct to all well-kept lawns and grass plots. 
 The water is distributed finely and evenly, 
 and by leaving a sprinkler in one position 
 long enough the grass can be thoroughly 
 saturated, thereby insuring a luxuriant, fresh 
 green sward during the hottest summer 
 drought. 
 
 All sprinklers art- fitted to attach to the

 purpose of a beautiful fountain and of thor-

 according to the water pressure. An orna- 
 mental standard, about four feet high, is 
 surmounted with long perforated arms, which

 One of the most satisfactory lawn sprinklers we offer. It is very simple 
 — no parts to revolve, squeak, cbg, wear or get out of order. No arms 
 to break off. It is a round bo.\ like affair — about 3 inches in diameter 
 by 1 inch in depth with a turbine arrangement inside which gives the 
 water passing through a swivel causing it to pass through the single 
 opening and be distributed over a circular area 25 feet or more in diam- 
 eter according to the water pressure. The water descends evenly from 
 center to circumference in the form of fine rain. Price, on stand, S2.rill.

 THE NEW COMET LAWN SPRINKLER. 
 
 The ''New Comet" Lawn Sprinkler. 
 
 <- ombines the greatest possible capacity in a Lawn Sprinkler with the 
 utmost adjustability and simpUSty. 
 
 The two sprays shown in cut can be set upright, or at any angle and by 
 means of a simple device inside the case, they are made to revolve slowly, 
 throwing a fine spray over a space from 5 to 25 feet in diameter as desired. 
 
 By removing one of the sprays, a large stream is thrown far beyond the 
 possibility of the spray, covering a space from 60 to 75 feet in diameter 
 according to the water pressure. As most of the weight (4^ lbs.) is at the 
 base, it can be moved about by the hose or cord without shutting off the 
 water with no possibility of tipping over. Price, $3.50. 
 
 Directions for Operating the New Comet. 
 
 .1 very small space cat: be cohered willi both sprays set upright. To cover the 
 latgest possible space set the elbows at ayi angle o/ 45 degrees, one atmed with a 
 spray, and either nothing on the other, or one of the small nozzles. 
 
 The elbows may be set in any direction as they have little if atiy influence 
 over their revolnlion. The elbow throwing the straight stream should have an out- 
 let as large as possible, and yet not so large but what the water will fall like rain.

"Water Witch" 
 Lawn Sprinklers. 
 
 An effective device for sprinkling lawns, g;irdfns or

 is divided and deflected by the two lips of the swivel 
 piece, which it causes to revolve rapidly, scattering the 
 water in fine drops and evenly over a circular area of 
 23 to 40 feet diameter. It works more satisfactorily 
 with a very low pressure of water than any sprinkler we 
 know of.

 THE KINNEY LIQUID MANURE PUMP. 
 
 For applying liquid manure this pump has no equal. 
 Enough labor is often saved in feeding a house of plants 
 once to pay for the pump. This pump is also used for 
 tempering water to water with, and for drawing water 
 out of furnace pits. Being made entirely of brass and 
 nickel plated, these pumps are not corroded by chemicals 
 and they do not wear out. Remember that the water 
 pressure does the pumping and that the flow of liquid 
 fertilizer through the hose, diluted about one-half, is 
 even and continuous as long as the liquid is reasonably 
 clear and there is water pressure behind it 
 
 It will apply from 5 to 15 gallons of liquid fertilizer a 
 minute. There is no waste. You screw the pump to the 
 faucet, put the end of the suction hose into a barrel or 
 tank of clear liquid manure, attach the three-fourths 
 inch discharge hose, open the faucet, and go to the end 
 of the hose. The liquid manure follows, and will keep 
 coming as long as you want it, or until the supply in the 
 barrel or tank is exhausted — provided the liquid manure 
 is reasonably free from coarse matter which would clog 
 the pump. The Kinney Pump weighs only 15 ounces.

 Iron Self Watering Window Boxes. 
 
 These are iiKitle of sheet iron, galvanized and finished on the icUside in green 
 enamel. They are very durable, rust proof and positively will not leak. 
 
 The crowning merit of these boxes, however, is the self watering feature. 
 This is accomplished by a false bottom below which the water is contained it 
 being poured in through a tube in the corner that projects from the rim to the 
 bottom. The false bottom has holes in it in which are inserted small sponges 
 these absorb the water and it is drawn up by the soil keeping it evenly mnist 
 for a week or more before the water requires replenishing, thus the piants do 
 not dry out from neglect and thrive and blooiri with unusual luxuriance.

QUANTITY REQUIRED. 
 
 For forming a new lawn a 10- pound 
 package is sufficient to go over an 
 area of 300 square feet, or 1000 to 
 1.300 pounds per acre, or a smaller 
 quantity for renovating an old lawn. 
 Apply broadcast with machine or by 
 hand as evenly as possible on a quiet 
 day and preferably just before rain. 
 
 Can Be Applied Spring, Summer or Fall. 
 NEVER FAILS TO INDUCI3 A LUXURIANT RICH GREEN GROWTH IN A 
 FEW WEEKS TIME. 
 
 The constant mowing of grass, and removal of clippings also removes a 
 proportion of digested plant food. Therefore if the luxuriance of a lawn is 
 to be maintained, it must be top dressed, at least once a year, with suitable 
 fertilizer. The Henderson Lawn Enricher is a clt-an and odorless lawn dress- 
 ing which never fails in inducing a rapid and rich green growth. It should 
 be sown broadcast in the spring or fall, though it can be put on during the sum- 
 mer without injury or danger of burning the grass, and a remarkable improve- 
 ment will soon be observed. The use of " Henderson Lawn Enricher " en- 
 tirely does away with the old practice of top-dressing lawns with stable manure, 
 so objectionable on account of unsightlmess, disagreeable odors, and is so 
 often f'dl of weed seeds. ^ 
 
 Tree Tanglefoot. 
 
 NO CRAWLING INSECT CAN PASS A BAND 
 OF TREE TANGLEFOOT. 
 
 Tree Tanfilcfoot — made by the " Tanglefoot 
 Sticky Fly Paper " Manufacturers — is the most 
 successful and economical method of keeping 
 caterpillars, canker worms, cut worms, ants and 
 other climbing insect pests out of trees. Apply 
 like soft putty with a paddle — before their worms 
 begin to crawl — it will protect the tree if isolated 
 — from further ravages of these pests, providing 
 the bands are inspected occasionally to see that 
 the surface has not become coated with dust or 
 the continuity broken by some foreign substance. 
 Further than this it is only necessary to renew 
 the bands each year to protect the tree per- 
 petually. 
 
 Tree Tanglefoot remains sticky in the tree for 
 fullv 3 months — during any weather from freez- 
 ing to 110° Fahrenheit — does not dry up nor 
 drop off — nor is it effected by rain storms. It 
 should be applied very early in the spring — before 
 the caterpillars commence to crawl — and again 
 in the fall if troubled with the Fall Canker worm. 
 
 Quantity Needed. — One pound will be sufficient 
 for six-foot band 4 inches wide 1-16 inch thick. 
 
 Price.— 1 lb. can .30c.: .3 lb. can, 8.5c. (//

 tm'f^Z WEED DESTROYER 
 
 Destroys Weeds, Moss, Grass, etc., in (jardcn Walks and Carriage Drives. 
 
 It completely destroys all wee<ls. wherever applied, and by its effect on the 
 ground prevents the growth of fre?n ones for a year afterwards, thus saving an 
 immense amount of labor in hoeing, etc. For brick walks it is a boon. Its ap- 
 plication is easy, being in a liquid form and only requiring to be mixed with 
 water and applied with a watering can or sprinkling cart. If the ground is 
 very dry it should first be sprinkled with clear water, so the Weed Destroyer 
 will not* soak away too quickly. Where large weeds and docks are to be de- 
 stroyed it is best to mow or chop ofiE the tops first. Full directions for use 
 with each package.

 from morning till nijiht. all summer long, but the last two seasons by sprinkling 
 the ivalks thoroughly in the spring with your ' Weed Destroyer ' diluted with water, 
 it has kept the weeds and moss away and the walks in apple pie order."

 Quickly eliminates Fish, Angle or Earth Worms from Infested Lawns, Putting 
 Greens, etc. 
 
 This preparation, a non-poisonous powder, is not injurious to animals, birds, 
 nor vegetation; in fact it has a beneficial and stimulating effect on grass. It 
 is wonderfully efficacious where properly used in inducing earth worms to im- 
 mediately come to the surface and die. thus removing the cause of unsightly 
 worm casts and barl spots in the lawn. For " Putting Greens " thus infected 
 it is invaluable, enahUng the surface to be kept level, smooth and true without 
 the expense and trouble of daily brushing and rolling. The green keepers of 
 many golf clubs, both in Great Britain and America, use it extensively and 
 attest its worth. 
 
 Quantity Required. — Half a pound per square yard: full directions with every 
 order Price, 1 lb , 1,'ic. (postage l:'c. per pound extra); 5 lbs., HDc; 10 lbs., 
 $1.00; 25-lb. bag. $2.00; 5U-lb. bag, $3.50, lUO-lb. bag, .$6.00; per ton, apply. 
 
 " Our experience with Carter's Worm Killer has been very successful It not 
 only kills the worms, but saves the expense of ' brushing ' the greens. We recom- 
 mend it very heartily."
