WEEDS cazercs ccmes___... DESTROYED! -»ene L-T ERBICIDE.

The Best and Cheapest Destroyer of Weeds, and the Safest to use.

The most effective destroyer of Weeds, Moss, Grass, Dandelions, and other growths in garden walks, drives, etc. that has hitherto been discovered,

It is far more serviceable than Salt, Oil of Vitrol, Spirits of Salts, and other articles sometimes used for the pur- pose, and much more economical and convenient to use.

It completely destroys all weeds, wherever applied, and by its effects on the ground prevents the growth of fresh ones for a year or two afterwards, thus saving an immense amount of labor in hoeing, etc.

Its application is easy, being in a liquid form and only requiring to be mixed with water and applied with a watering can. Four gallons mixed with a hundred gallons of water will cover an area of about 50 yards square, and will make a liquid which will effectually destroy all vegetable growths.

HENDERSON ODORLESS

[awn . Enricher

For New or Old Lawns.

CAN BE APPLIED IN SPRING, SUMMER OR FALL,

/t never fails to induce a rich green and luxuriant growth in a few weeks’ time.

A clean, portable and convenient lawn dressing which we have found to be never failing 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 summer without injury or danger of burning the grass, and a re- markable improvement will soon be observed. It is in every way more desirable than manure, which is so often fall of weed seeds. The use of ‘‘ Henderson Lawn Enricher” entirely does away with the old practice of top dressing lawn with stable manure which was so objectionable on account of unsightliness and disagreeable odors.

Quantity required. 4 10 Jd. package is sufficient to g0 over an area of 300 square feet, or for forming a new lawn, 1,000 to 1,500 lbs. per acre, or a smaller quantity for renovating an old one.

PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK.—ILAWN GRASS SEED. I

4[ENDERSON'S LAWN GRASS MIXTURES

FOR SPECIAL SITUATIONS.

The Special Mixtures here offered have been prepared with a view to overcoming difficulties that have hitherto existed in getting grass to grow on stcep slopes, in the shade, etc., where the grasses ordinarily used would not succeed. Ne

The grasses we use in these mixtures are peculiarily adapted for the purpose and will thrive in the situations and under the conditions for which they have been prepared, but the more effectually to overcome the difficulties, the ground should be thoroughly prepared and a rapid growth of the grasses encouraged by a liberal use of fertil- Bi izer or well rotted stable manure. 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. In such cases an application of lime, land plaster or wood ashes is an excellent corrective and sweetener, but the moss should be first removed by the use of a sharp rake,

Henderson’s

“GOLF LINK” Grass Seed.

The bracing game of Golf kas now become so deservedly popular here, that many inquiries have reached us lately for a mixture of grasses that will produce a sward equal to those ot the ‘‘Goir Links”’ of Scotland.

Last summer one of our representatives visited some of these Scotch Links, and after minutely examining them, found that the close-cut sod of the Scotch ‘* putting greens’’ can be duplicated here by using certain grasses adapted by nature to grow on light soils and sandy situations.

While the outlying portions of the ‘t Links’? can be seeded with less expensive grasses, the ‘* putting greens"’ for about twenty yards around the ‘*holes’’ must be sown with the very finest grasses,

For Putting Greens, we can supply a_ special mixture of grasses Price, 30 cents per qt , $1.75 per pk., $6.00 per bushel. (Z/ dy mail, add at the rate of 5c. per quart Sor postage.)

For the Outlying Grounds or Links proper, wecan supply a suitable mixture of grasses. Price, $2.50 per bushel; 20 bushels and upwzerd, $2 25 per bushel,

a

HMenderson’s **SUNNY SOUTH ’’

Lawn Grass.

Ts specially prepared for the South or for very dry sections, and contains all the best grasses that are by nature adapted for hot. dry situations. In the Southern States, Bermuda grass is frequently used, but it remains green only in the summer months, turning brown in winter, while most of the Northern grasses perish in the heats and droughts of suminer.

By using this mixture and with some care and atten- tion, an all-the-year round lawn can be maintained.

Price. 35¢ qt., $2.00 pk., $7.00 bushel. (Z/ dy maz?, add atthe rate of 5c. per qt. for postage.)

Henderson’s “SHADY NOOK” Lawn Grass.

On nearly all lawns there are unsightly bare spots under the 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, ever-green varieties, which in their wild or natural state are to be found growing in the woods or other sheltered and shaded spots. j Price, 35c. qt., $2.00 pk., $7,00 bushel. (L/ by mazl, add at the rate

of 5c. per qt. for postage.)

Henderson's ‘TERRACE SOD” Lawn Grass.

A special mixture of grasses best suited for sowing on terracés, railroad embankments and side hills—grasses that produce strong, 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 pro- duce a rich velvety green turf throughout the season. There need be no fear of introducing coarse grasses into your lawn by sowing this mixture, ° for, though strong rooted, the grasses are equally as fine as those used in the ** Henderson ”’ mixture.

Price, 35c. qt., $2.00 pk., $7.00 bushel. (Z/ by marl, add at the rate of 5c. per quart for postage.)

AS SOFT AS VELVET AND AS GREEN AS EMERALD ALL SUMMER LONG.

THE “HENDERSON” LAWN GRASS SEED is the best Lawn Grass Seed for our American climate. It will form a close thick turf in a few weeks’ time with no tendency to stool or grow in clumps. It roots deeply and withstands severe droughts without turning brown, maintaining its beau-

e tiful deep green color throughout the season. We have made the formation of permanent lawns a study for years, and The Finest Lawns in e this Country To-day attest our success. The ‘‘ Henderson’? Lawn Seed is composed of various

grasses that grow and flourish during different months of the year, so that a rich, deep green, velvety - lawn is constantly maintained, rivaling the famous lawns of Old England.

The beautiful lawns at the World’s Fair in Chicago, we produced in six weeks’ time with the “Henderson” Lawn Grass Seed. Notone of the charming features at the Exposition was so univers- ally admired as our ‘‘ setting of emerald velvet,” which, withstanding the long-continued drought of the summer, retained its verdure throughout the entire season. Besides being the only lawn grass seed granted a medal, we exhibited the separate grasses used in the mixture, and received Seven Awards ~ for superior quality and purity of samples,

THE ‘ HENDERSON” LAWN GRASS SEED Is relatively speaking, the cheapest seed offered, because, while the lawn grass mixtures of other e seedsmen will not average over 14 lbs. to the bushel, this weighs from 20 to 21 Ibs. per measured bushel.

If people only knew how comparatively easy it is to make a lawn with the ‘* Henderson ”’ Lawn Grass Seed, the days of using sod would soon be over.

THE QUANTITY REQUIRED.

(We furnish it in large or small quantities to suit the pretentious lawn or the modest door yard plot.) The quantity required for making new lawns is 5 bushel per acre, or for renovating old lawns 1 to 2 bushel. For a plot 15 x 20, or 300 square feet, 1 quart is required for new, or 1 pint for renovating old lawns. PRICES.

F. E. SHOBER, ‘Henderson’ Lawn Grass Seed St. John’s Rectory, shipped me inthe spring, | saw the Barrytown, N.Y. _ statement that seed sown April 25th one season was mowed twice

.. by July rst. I can go ahead of that record. 1 sowed at the rate

you advise, on April 28th, and mowed with a large horse mower three times before July Ist, and but for the wet weather and press of work could have mowed four times But when | did cut on July 3d, it was so long as to require raking to keep the dry grass from showing (this was the fourth cutting). Now the lawn is like velvet, and I believe 1 could cut excel!ent sod in almost any place over the whole piece Of course the season has been exceptional; but I am ahead of a neighbor who sowed last fall, and of another who sowed when I did as he has hardly seen a square foot of grass to speak of. Both of them used differ- ent seed from mine.” “For eight or nine years my CAROLINA P. HILLS, lawn has been sown with your grass Rochester Coitage, seed and strewn with your fertil- ass. izer, and there is no neater lawn on the island, I have one of your lawn mowers and one of your rollers. My last purchase was grass seed for a small place I own, where the soil is poor and sandy. It was sown early in the spring and has proved to be wonderfully adapted to so barren aspot. Indeed it has greatly exceeded my expectations in making so rapid a growth, although we are subject here to severe drought and have to depend greatly on sprinkling and watering,”’

H. L. BUCK, “I bought two bushels last fall of Springfield, Mo. your ‘‘Henderson’’ Lawn Seed,and

it did remarkably well and has at-

tracted agreat deal of attention from its beauty and quick growth.”

‘* The lawn grass which I bought

ELLA C. POND, of you in April, gave entire satis-

faction, although it had no oppore

Berkeley, Col. tunity to do its best on my place,

where the soil is a stiff adobe, in

some places not a foot deep, overlaying a bed of gravel. Water

runs through it as througha sieve. Before planting my own lawn,

I had the year before bought the same kind of seed, Henderson

Lawn Grass, for a small place [ was laying out, and that bit of

lawn is as perfect a piece of turf as I could wish to see. It.is on

better soil but cxposed to the full glare of the sun all the year, and

the first season after it was planted it had no water for six weeks,

and yet it did not even turn brown. I think it an excellent grass

for this climate, and one of its chief merits is its being such clean seed—my lawn is absolutely free from weeds.”

‘“T do not consider I would be doing you justice if I did not thank you for the Lawn Grass Seed that I got from you last spring, and in doing so I must say it is the best seed T ever saw, and I was more than surprised to see the very nice Jawn that it produced. In six or eight weeks from the time it was sown it covered the ground so thick that every person who saw it thought that I must have had my ground sodded, but it far sure passes any sodding I ever saw, or any seeding. This is not only my testimony, but the opinion of every one who has seen it.”

claim for it—and we guarantee the claim —that it will prove the most durable of any side-wheel mower ever manufactured, being made of best quality new iron, patent journal boxes and the knives of high grade steel. it will keep sharp, cut well and last three or four times as long asa cheap mower. There are also many details of construction essentially differ- ent from any other mower, and which could not be afforded on low-priced ma- chines, simply made to sell. Forinstance, the bottom knife-bar is stationary, making the frame perfectly rigid; the revolving cutter works in patent hangers, the cutter being adjusted to the stationary knife. A positive triple ratchet in each end is a grand improvement giving great strength, and will last as long as the Mower. The gears do not move when the machine is pulled back, thereby saving much friction and wear, and a patent terrace mowing arrangement is a very effective and a valuable addition. The wheels are high (8 inches), enabling the Mower to cut high grass with ease. It is very light-running, noiseless, and leaves the surface of the lawn as smooth as velvet. = ate

We reiterate, that ‘‘The Henderson Perfect,” has been made regardless of expense, to be the best and’most durable Lawn Mower ever gotten up ; and. although the price is necessarily a little higher than other Mowers, yet it

will in the end prove much cheaper, aside from the annoying delays and expensive repairs experienced with cheap Mowers.

HORSE LAWN SWEEPER—DRAFT ROD NOT SHOWN.

Henderson’s ‘‘ Model’ Hand Lawn Sweeper.

Designed for use on lawns, small parks, tennis courts, etc. The brush revolves very rapidly, throwing the litter backward from its under surface. Immediatel behind the brush, and parallel with it, a thin shoe passes along over the anit with its upper surface inclined.

The operation involves the principle of ‘‘dust-pan and broom.” In addition to this, the revolving brush creates a strong current of air, that blows the litter back into the rear of the hopper. If sticks, stones or leaves are encountered, the shoe does not allow them to pass under it, but provides a passage over it into the hopper.

The revolving brush is pressed against the ground, allowing the machine to be used on clipped and unclippea lawns, over rouzh or smooth ground. The machine does nice, clean work. It does not tear the sod nor dig up the earth like a rake, but leaves the grass clean and velvety. ‘Vhe hopper can be dumped or taken out and emptied. It takes only a few minutes to go over a large lawn.

4A[ENDERSON’S TAWN® ROLLERS.

The benefit derived from using a roller on the lawn is inestimable. 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. For use on the lawn, a ‘‘7wo Section’ rolier is usually chosen, as it can be turned without injuring the grass ‘‘Oze Sectioz”’ rollers will be preferable for walks, tennis courts, etc., as they leave no mark. About 300 pounds is the weight chosen for one man power for lawns. The handles of our rollers are weighted so they always keep up from the ground, clean and out of the way. Our

J FE new Steel Lawn Rollers are the best, but if a cheaper rolleris wanted, our “‘ Cast Iron”’ will give cpndcnee good satisfaction. New Steel Lawn Roller.

The ‘‘Henderson” XE“ Lawn Rollers

FOR HAND POWER.

As rolling is most effective when the soil is moist and pliable, our new steel rollers will be found far superior, as wet soil will not stick to steel] as it does to the rough cast iron rollers; our new steel rollers are made of rolled steel, presenting a smooth surface that will not gathersoil or grass. The sections fit closely, are perfectly round, and will do perfect work on lawns, walks or tennis courts. The axles are of polished steel shafting, working in babbitted lathe-bored journal boxes; and in consequence they are fully one-half easier to work than the old cast iron rollers ; the rims are cushioned, which not only prevents bieakage but disagreeable noise ; the handles are counterbalanced to stand erect when not in use.

lbAWN SPRINKLERS.

A good lawn sprinkler is a necessary adjunct to all well kept lawns and grass plots; the water is distributed so 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 of the sprinklers that we catalogue work satisfactorily with a water pressure of 30 lbs. , excepting the Henderson 8 Arm Lawa Sprinkler, which should have a pressure of not less than yo Ibs. The ‘‘Water Witch” works under a very low pressure better than any other sprinkler we know of.

We are frequently asked if a tank or pond of water at a certain elevation will work a lawn sprinkler. The fol- lowing rule is applicable to all such cases, viz» Water at every foot of elevation gives half a pound pressure—the force to work a sprinkler requiring 20 lbs. pressure—the tank or body of water would have to be elevated go feet, etc.

THE *‘COMET”’ bAWN SPRINKLER Will Sprinkle an Area FOUR TIMES Greater Than Any Other Sprinkler.

By means of the swiftly revolving arms and intermediate gears, the upper part of the body is made to revolve slowly around, carrying the hose nozzle, from which:a large stream of water is thrown far out beyond that thrown by the arms, thereby covering four times the space of any other stationary sprinkler.

With an ordinary force of water it will thoroughly sprinkle a spaee of 80 feet in diameter. ‘The hose nozzle and tips on ends of arms are adjustable so that it can be adapted to as small a space as desired. Excepting the legs, it is made of solid brass and nicely nickled, most substantial and durable as well as the most attractive and useful sprinkler ever made. Price, $5.00.

““WATER WITCH”

LAWN SPRINKLER.

(With or without stand.)

An effective device for sprink- ling Lawns, Gardens or Flower Beds. The water flows with unimpeded force, and 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 twenty-five to forty feet diam- eter. Price without stand (2. e., with spur to slick in the ground.) 75¢. each; by mail, 85c. each.

a straight line or ina circle of any diameter desired. It can be set to travel anywhere from 15 to 500 feet per hour as preferred. Can be changed from the lowest to the highest speed in a moment. It can be gauged to throw the water over a swarth anywhere from 5 to 50 feet in width. It can be used as a stationary sprinkler by throwing it out of gear. Witha pressure of water as low as 20 pounds it will drag 75 feet of hose, while with a pressure of 60 to 70 pounds, it will carry 200 pounds extra weight and drag as many feet of hose.

It is as indispensable to any Well kept lawn as water, as it re- duces the application of that : much-needed element toa pleasure. It works to perfection—in fact, doing the work more thoroughly and in less time than a person could do it—needs less attention—set the machine and there you are. he Travelling Sprinkler, even_when Stationary, is equal to all others ; and its ability to move itself over the lawn makes it of the greatest util- ity.

Common Sense Lawn Sprinkler,

There are no moving parts to get out of order, no arms to get bent, stopped up, etc. The SPRINKLER may be cleaned in a moment, should it become choked, by simply loosening the nut, the force of water will drive out any dirt that has accumulated.

In use the most beautiful water effect is produced, there being a Jarge umbrella spray, very fine, as well as jets nearly upright ; these jets not only add to the beauty of the fountain, but by falling upon the umbrella spray, dash the water over all parts of the circle which is unusually large, as the parts being rigid there is little loss of pressure.

While the water effect is very large, the spray is so fine that but little water is used ; not only this, but the spray being very fine, the sunshine pro- _ duces most beautiful rainbow effects. ‘A

HENDERSON'S “SIAMESE” LAWN SPRINKLER ATTACHMENT,

Several sprinklers can be operated at one time with this arrangement providing the pressure or volume of water is- sufficient. A three-quarter inch hose and thirty to forty pounds pressure will operate three sprinklers; a forty to fifty pounds pressure, four sprinklers ; with one inch hose and a good pressure six sprinklers can be operated satis factorily. “his method of watering originated with us last season and we fcund it valuable during the severe drought for thoroughly saturating large areas of Celery, Cabbage, Strawberry and other plants, as well as our lawns. It saves the labor of one or more men and distributes the water more evenly and thoroughly than can possibly be done

with a hose nozzle. We found that the Water Witch Lawn Sprinklers (wth spur to stick in the ground) were the best sprinklers for the purpose. One of these sprink lers and the ‘‘ Siamese’ was applied at the end of every twenty-five fco length of bose. With three twenty-five foot lengths of hose, two Siamese and three Water Witch sprinklers (¢he last length of hose not needing a St- amese,) a continuous artificial rain is produced over area of twenty-five feet wide by seventy-five feet long. Each additional length of hose with sprink- ler, of course increases the area sprinkled twenty-five feet. Prices: Siamese Attachment for 3 in. hose, 75c., by mail, 8sc.; for rin. hose, 85c., by mail, g5c.; Water Witch Lawn Sprinkler, for # or 1 in. hose, 75c., by mail, 85c.

Directions.—To cover a large area—Turn all blades flow up, giving one just turn enough to act as a propelling force. To cover a large area, and not to throw up, turn all blades one-half over, giving blades some turn. To make it cover a small area—Turn all blades to throw down, giving each just turn enough to pro- pel the Fountain Head. To make a Stationary Fountain, turn blades all face up—level. Price, $4 00.

A Fascinating......

New Lawn Game, Vicktor Vo

THE NEW LAWN GAME OF “ VICKTORY ”

Is more scientific than Croquet, yet easily learned and is intensely fascinating clear to the end of the game, for no matter how much lead one player or side may have gained, one miss stroke, on the leading side, or one good strike from the losing side, may entirely reverse the commanding lead. Consequently the game is absorbingly interesting

throughout.

““Vicktory”” has several other advantages over Croquet : it is adapted to lawns which are too small for Croquet, requiring a space only 24 feet by 30 feet, ‘hough great variation in the size of the ground is possible, the shape

of the court being octagonal.

The court can be laid out and the game played on any level plot of grass of sufficient size, or on smooth, hardened, bare ground, sanded; the latter of course being preferable for very scientific playing, or the game can be played on the floor of a house.

It isa game of vicissitudes, the object being to get your own and your part- ner’s balls into the ring and put out or keep out your opponents. When two persons play, each has six balls; when three play each has four balls, and when four play the two alternate players are partners and each side has six balls, each player having three balls which he calls his own. The balls are so marked that this variation in the number of players is possible. The balls are marked, four with red stripes, four with blue stripes and four with white stripes. The four white balls are also cross ringed, two with a red and two with a blue stripe. When only two players use the game, one has six red and the other six blue balls, When three play there are four red, four blue and four white balls. When four play there are four combinations of colors—red, red -and white, blue, and blue and white. In starting the game red places his ballin the ‘‘striker’s box,” a mallet’s length from the stake, and strikes his ball, trying to make it enter the ring. If he succeeds he starts a new ball, and so continues until he misses or fails to ‘‘ring’’ his ball. Blue now starts a ball and endeavors to ring it, or if he prefers, may try to hit the red ball. If he succeeds in the latte move, he may croquet his opponent to any part of the ground, and then have a shot from his new position for the ring. If he succeeds, he takes out one of his opponent’s balls, if any are in the ring, and every ball that is ‘‘ ringed”’ entitles the player to take out one of his opponent’s balls. All balls so taken out must be started over as though they had not been played.

When three persons play, one ball cf each of the opponents is taken out for every one a playerrings. When four play, only one ball is taken out for each ball ringed, and not any for ringing a partner’s ball,

The person who gets all his balls in the ring wins the game. When four play,

the side which rings all six balls wins.
