ON LAWN BEAUTIFICATION 



on its support and distribute the water on either 

 side. When advantage can be taken of the wind, 

 the water will be thrown almost twice as far as 

 when there is no wind. 



This system has been somewhat modified to 

 adapt it to small areas where irrigation is not 

 needed often. Instead of mounting the pipes upon 

 permanent stakes, they are carried from one place 

 to another as irrigation is needed and placed upon 

 temporary supports or movable stands. 



For greater convenience in handling the pipes, 

 the temporary supports are only about 4 feet high. 

 On the top of these is nailed a curved piece of sheet 

 iron in which the pipe rests. The movable 

 stands are made of galvanized pipe in tripod form 

 and can be made by any plumber. 



The sprinkler pipe is attached to the water 

 supply by a rubber hose and the system operates 

 in the same way as when in a permanent location. 



This system is patented but it is not expensive 

 to install. The pipes can be purchased at any 

 hardware store but the nipples and the tool for 

 drilling the holes in the pipe for the nipples are 

 patented and must be purchased separately. Many 

 of the seed houses, that handle tools in addition to 

 seeds, sell this irrigating system. 



When this system is to be used on a lawn the 

 supports can be made more or less ornamental.
