It’s only three days in, and I’ve just discovered that I’m doing Lawn and Garden Month all wrong.

‘Destroy Weeds the Modern Way with Hauck Flame-Guns’ is a 1939 catalog for Hauck Manufacturing Company multi-purpose flamethrowers. Nellie M. Burnett of Mapleville, Rhode Island raves “The Flame-Gun also solves the problem of garbage, weeds from the gardens and all general rubbish.”.

You can find out more about the things you can burn and set on fire around your home, workplace, or just about anywhere by visiting the full catalog in the Hagley Library’s Digital Archive - just click here!

Approved.
