This Cut Bhowa a Kow of Boston Ferns Ixlng' Watered by the Wittbold 

 System. The Same Klne of Pipe also Waters Two Benches. 



The Wittbold Watering System 



Was devised for 



Greenhouse Work 



Watering and spraying, but can also be 

 used for outside work with best results. 

 It consists of a combination of pipes and 

 connections and tips so arranged that a 

 continuoua sheet of water the full 

 length of house can be applied to a bench 

 of 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. 

 An entire house can be watered or 

 syringed in only a few minutes. It is a per- 

 manent asset after once being installed, 

 as it will never wear out, it is inex- 

 pensive as half-inch pipes are used 

 and will save its cost in hose and labor 

 in the first six months. 



If spraying from overhead is all that is 

 necessary two runs of half-inch pipe the 



full length of house, with connections, is all that would be necessary for a 25 to 28-foot house. Where watering from 



underneath is wanted a run of half-inch pipe, with connections, for each bench would be required. 



If interested I would advise you to try a short length of my system, which would give you a better idea as to the 



i^ork it will accomplish than I could explain. 



Remember this system will save its cost in a very short time; it will give better crops, as water can be applied 



with such ease that watering will not be neglected. It will do better work than can be done with a hose, as an even 



amount of water will be given full length of the house.

 MR. LOUIS WITTBOLD, Chicago. 



Dear Sir: Sometime ago we put in 

 one hundred feet of your watering sys- 

 tem on trial and find it has given perfect 

 satisfaction. Please send us five hundred 

 feet more as soon as possible and when 

 we can get to it we want eighteen hun- 

 dred feet more to fit out our other houses. 

 We think the system a very good thing 

 and consider the labor saved by it will 

 pay for the apparatus in one season. 



Trusting that you will send the five 

 hundred feet at your earliest possible con- 

 venience, we remain. Yours truly,

 MR. LOUIS WITTBOLD, Chicago, 111. 



Dear Sir: While at Chicago I saw 

 your apparatus in operation and marvel 

 at the short time it takes to water the 

 entire greenhouses. 



My houses are being erected now and 

 upon their completion I will certainly call 

 upon you to place some in my buildings. 



As for a time-saver there is nothing to 

 equal it in my estimation and anyone 

 realizing its value will not be without 

 your system. Yours truly, 



WM. EDLEFSEN. 



This Cut Shows a Bench Bqnlpped with the Wittbold System lo Plants can
