ARTIFICIAL RAIN -IN MR. 

 BURBAXK'S GARDEN 



Mr, Burbank uses and recommends 

 a sprinkling apparatus like that shown 

 here. It consists of long pipes attached 

 to a hose, each pipe having little nozzles 

 at intervals of a few inches, thus send- 

 ing forth a series of tiny streams which, 

 rising high in the air, descend on the 

 plants in a shower that closely simulates 

 rain from the clouds. The pipes can be 

 turned to throw the spray in either 

 direction, and to regulate the distance 

 at which the shower descends. Remem- 

 ber always that water is food for the 

 plants absolutely indispensable food.
