Nothing to equal this machine and its effect ever be- 

 fore made. Works equally well on hillside and level. Lasts for 

 years. Positively the most satisfactory sprinkler ever known. 



Saves Time, Labor and Water

 and labor saving, you must know the Double Rotary Sprinkler. 

 Any garden hose fits. Water stream, striking rotary wheel, 

 breaks into drops like rain and at the same time sprinkler head 

 revolves, making even water spread up to 75 feet in diameter.

If every bulb on Sunnyslope Farm 

 was to produce the normal number of 

 flowers there would be enough to pro- 

 vide a bouqdet (or every Kansas City 

 dinner table today. According to ^. 

 Bryson Ayres, the operator, there now 

 are one hundred and fwentyflve thon- 

 eand bulbs of all species la the 

 eturebouses and In the ground. This 

 number Includes the various species of | 

 narcissus (dallodil and Jonquil) and 

 gladiolus. 



EileDslve tnllp culture on the farm 

 near Independence began In 1917, when 

 a shipment of bulbs was received from 

 HoUaod, where the finest specimens o( 

 the flower are grown. In the fall the 

 bulba were placed In the ground, two 

 and a half inches apart In long rows. 

 They really were not yet bulbs, tht 

 name which properly Is applied to then.
