IS THE BLACKBERRY "PICKING YOUR POCKET V'
If part of your farm is lying idle through being over-run with the blackberry, you will read with interest the following extract's from letters recently received by the makers of Wheelband's Blackberry indicator The blackberry bushes that were just sprayed with your eradicator are now quite dead, and are rotting away."Mr. Charles Clark, chairman, Lancaster Park Board. "I was especially interested in the operations of your specific on blackberry, and can say that in my opinion it will certainly kill the noxious weed."—Mr. F. L. Murray, late secretary Lancaster Park, Ltd. These two testimonials aro typical of many more, copies of which may be had on application to the chief agents for Wheelband's Eradicator, Messrs. W. 11. Simms and Sons, Ltd., Union Buildings, Auckland, and at Christchurch. The most searching tests have proved that Wheelband's does what no other herbecide has yet done successfully— exterminates the blackberry pest quickly, cheaply, and thoroughly. One "allon, costing 20s, makes 20 gallons of powerful mixture, which, spread with a fine spray, as for blight on trees, penetrates through the foliage to the roots and kills the weed. Although poisonous, it does not injure the soil, and grass will grow immediately if sown on the patch. Don't let the blackberry waste your land and pick your pocket. Get a trial gallon from the* nearest dealer—a postcard to Messrs. W. H. Simms and Sons, Ltd.. will bring you his name—follow the printed instructions, and you will be thoroughly well satisfied with'results.
