Default Hose-end dispenser for herbicide (Gilmour?)

At one time, I used a Gilmour product to spray herbicide or fertilizer
on the lawn. It was a bottle with spray nozzle that attached to the
hose. I primarily used it for herbicide for broad-leaf weeds and used
it selectively in limited areas of the lawn. The plastic bottle could
hold liquid product, and a dial on the sprayer head was rotated to
select the correct amount to be dispensed. The herbicide or
fertilizer would be mixed with water when the faucet was turned on and
the handle of the sprayer was depressed.

This worked very well, but I have not been able to find one for a long
time. It was made by Gilmour, but I don't see the item on their web
site (and email bounced back). Does anyone know if the item can still
be found, or possibly a similar product? It was much easier on my
back than using a spray cannister.


Here's a 2-pack for under $25:

You can use one for fertilizer, and a second for herbicides, and reduce
any cross-contamination.
