SKINNER SYSTEM 



is as far in advance as it is in the 

 field; so far, indeed, that many 

 have refused to accept it, and have 

 said that after they have seen it 

 tried it will be time enough for 

 them to put it in. These "doubt- 

 ing Thomases" need wait no longer 

 as the 



System Has Been so 

 Thoroughly Tested 



in so many different places that 

 its success is assured. It has been 

 found to be not only a success in 

 the vegetable house, but in the 

 florists' establishments as well. 



Not only can a house be thor- 

 oughly and uniformly watered 

 without any labor, but all plants have a more vigorous and healthy growth. Then, too, a house 

 can be dampened the entire length alike almost instantly. Also, in smoking the houses, by spray- 

 ing at the same time the smoke is cooled and settles to the ground. This not only prevents the 

 smoke from injuring the most delicate plant, but makes it much more effective. 



Just think of it! You who paddle around in the water all day with a hose, with this sys- 

 tem and a small and inexpensive gasoline pumping outfit, you can apply 2,000 gallons of water an 

 hour, and be at work in the dry, doing something else at the same time. 



Then, too, you have no hose to rot out, as this sys- 

 tem once put in is good for a lifetime, and not only that, 

 but the increased value of your crops will each year equal 

 the cost of putting in the system. 



Now is the time to install this system, so as to 

 have it in readiness for the fall crops. You will be sur- 

 prised to see how easy it is to install and you will wonder 

 how you were able to get along without.it. 



To all who are now paying from loc to 20c per 

 1000 gallons for water, you need do so no longer. Our 

 pumping outfits are not expensive, are easy to operate and 

 will give you a water supply equal to the best city sys- 

 tems. With them your water cost will not be over 2c per 

 1000 gallons. In this new and improved outfit the pump 

 can be cut out in a few seconds and the engine used for 

 other purposes. 



I will always be pleased to hear from anyone inter- 

 ested, even if you are not expecting to make any change 

 at this time. Let me hear how you are situated. It 

 will cost nothing to get an estimate on your plant.

 of the system put up complete, and will also be 

 shown the system in operation, by calling on the
