Just One Minute 



That's how long it will take vou to water or syringe a greenhoue with a 



WITTBOLD WATERING SYSTEM 



It will save you 90 per cent, of your watering labor. 



IF YOU ARE SKEPTICAL 



read the following letters of recommendation or. better still, send for 



1 A Swivel Wheel S2.00 and Six Half-inch Nnzzles at 50c Each. 



An investment of $5.00 aru * P ut U P a hundred feet and give it a trial. If used 

 only as an auxiliary to your regular watering it will be 



the best investment you ever made. 



Chamberlain & Bunker, Fremont 



Mich., write: — "The mechanical spraying 

 is a decided success. We expect to equip 

 our whole plant of 100.000 feel of - ass 

 with your svstem as fast as we can get 

 to it." 



Davis Iii-os.. Morrison. 111., write: — 

 "Some time ago we put in one hundred 

 foot of your watering system on trial and 

 find ii has given perfect satisfaction. 

 Please send us five hundred feet moi 

 soou as possible, and when we can g t t<- 

 it « , want eighteen hundred feet more to 

 i our other houses. Wo think the 

 system a eery Liood thing ami consider the 

 labor saved by it will pay for the appara- 

 tus in one season.** 



This from Klehm's Nurseries, Arlington 

 Heights. 111. : — "Tour watering 

 which we or, 1.. red as an experiment and 

 with which we equipped on,- of our rose 

 houses is doing the work to our entire 

 satisfaction, and we have decided to 

 five more houses with your system. Vou 

 may sen! us at your earliest convenience 

 1 loot ready to put up. 



"We wish to state that your system of 

 watering is certainly a success and when 

 bett,.:- known will be universally used. 

 The time saved in labor will pay for the 

 system in a short time." 



Stephen Hyde, Carthage. Mo.:— "In re- 

 gard to your watering system. I think it a 



tiii,- thiug. I have raised one crop of let- 

 tuce and did not use the hose ouce. It 

 waters a space about twenty feet wide 

 and the way we put it in the cost is not 

 very much. I used black pipe and cannot 



in it is as _■.""! as galvanized. This 

 is the la-t winter 1 shall use a hose. Will 

 pipe all my place before another winter. 

 Will have 45.000 feet all in lettuce, so you 



he water problem is a serious one 

 with me. -My houses are thirty-four foot 



and two lines water them well. 



"The water is put on more evenly than 

 the average man will with a hose, and an- 

 other great advantage, tin- watering can 

 be done at the best time for the good of 

 the plants." 



John Thorpe, in HORTICULTURE, May 

 12, 1906: "The Wittbold watering system 

 possesses so much merit and appeals so 

 directly to progressive horticultural work 

 that it must undoubtedly be appreciated." 



W. I'.. I taxis. Aurora. 111., in HORTI- 

 CULTURE, April 21, 1906:— "I do my 

 watering now in one hour — all seven 

 houses — which formerly took two men half 

 a day, and I can do it better at that." 



Wm. Edlefsen. Milwaukee, in HORTI- 

 CULTURE, May .",, 1906:— "I wish to say 

 as a gardener who has been in the busi- 



-- all my life, that the Wittbold water- 

 ing system has much merit and will save 

 much labor in the greenhouse. " 



THIS SYSTEN WAS DEVISED FOR GREENHOUSE WORK, but can also be used tor outside work 

 with best results. It consists of pipes and tips so arranged that a continuous sheet of water the full length 

 of the house can be supplied to a bench oi plants and at the will of the operator can be directed upward from 

 underneath the plants, downward from above the plants or parallel with the bench so that only the soil in 

 the bench is watered. It can be used for syringing or watering. Aa entire house Can be watered or 

 syringed in only a few minutes. It is a permanent asset after being once installed, as it will never wear 

 out, it is inexpensive and will save its cost in hose and labor in the first six months. 



When watering or syringing is to be done and spray is obstructed by foilage. my small nozzle and 1-2-inch pipe 

 tapped and fed every ■_'•" feet is best. Thi< system with all connections and pipe ready to put up will cost you $20.00 

 per loo foot. Separate nozzles, 15 feet each. 



THE WITTBOLD HOSE NOZZLE 



1- or greenhouse or garden use is far superior t <• anything on the market, the spray can be changed instantly from 

 a fine fan-shaped spray into any form or shape the operator may desire, by simply pushing a <!eeve backward and 

 forward. This can be done as quickly as taking the finger on and off the hose. Trice §1.00. Handled by Seedsmen.
