The Wittbold Watering System 



FOR GREENHOUSE AND FIELD WATERING. 



It consists of pipes and nozzles so arranged that a CONTINUOUS SHEET OF WATER the full length of the 

 line can be supplied, and at the will of the operator can be directed upward from underneath the plants, downward 

 from above the plants or parallel with a bench so that, only the soil m 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 permanent asset 

 after being once installed, as it will never wear out, it is inexpensive and will save its cost in hose and labor in_th^-- 

 first six months. 



To show the small cost of equipping an acre of ground for outside watering as far as nozzles and swivel wheels 

 are concerned, will submit the following figures: There are approximately 44,000 square feet to the acre. My >^-inch 

 nozzle will, with a good pressure, cover 300 square feet of ground and by first watering on one side of pipe and then 

 on the other side, each nozzle will cover 600 square feet, or about 80 nozzles to the acre, which will cost $12.00 per 

 acre for nozzles. Four swivel wheels will easily control the nozzles on an acre. These at $2.00 each, $8, would make 

 the cost of wheels and nozzles only $20.00 per acre. 



HERE ARE LETTERS FROM WELL-PLEASED USERS: 



"Some Wxac ajro we put In 100 feet of your system on trial and It 

 baa Riven perfect SHtisf action. Send 500 feet more at once and 

 we shall wai i 1800 feei additional as soon as our new houses are 

 i-eady. We thlnU the system a very good tliln? and consider the 

 labor saved will pay for tbe apparatus In one season." 



Davis Bros., Morrison, III. 



"We wish to have our entire rangre fitted up with your watering 

 system. We are mncb pleased wltli tbe working of the section 

 whlcli we have in at present and are perfectly satisfied that the 

 time win be very short till all np-to-date grrowers will use the 

 Wittbold system instpud of tbe present method of watering with 

 the hose. Wlien tlie nozzles are properly spaced, they throw ex- 

 actly the same amoant of water to all parts of the bench." 



W. B. Davis & Co., Cucumber Growers, Aurora, 111. 



"It is a fine tbInK and I wonder why greenhouse men have not 

 taken hold more. It should come into general use. It puts the 

 water on more evenly than the average man will with the liose." 

 STKrHEN Hydk, Vegetable Grower, Carthage, Mo. 



"We have your system In one of our Flcus houses; It is Working 

 fine and Is doing' as mncb as ten men would do in tlie old way 

 In tbe same time. We like it so well ttiat as soon as we can arrange 

 for water supply we shall equip our whole place." 



A. C. Oet.schkj & Sox, Savannah, Ga. 



"We have the Wittbold system la six houses 3:{x200and It works 

 to perfection, doing the watering better than tbe average 

 man can do with the hose. We will equip our other two plants 

 next season; no more watering with the hose for us." 



Cha.mhehi-in is. BiKKER, Vegetable Growers, Fremont, Mich. 



"It is the King of Sprinklers; beats everything in the watering 

 line." J. B. ADAMS, Pass UlirlBtlan, Miss. 



"We are better pleased every day. A boy can do better work 

 with it than a good man can with a hose. It is tbe only way to 

 water lettuce." R. T. Donxeli,, Springfield 111. 



"As a time-saver, in my estimation there is nothing to equal it 

 and no one reallclng Its value will be without the Witt- 

 bold system." Wm. Edi.efsex, Milwaukee, Wis. 



"Your system in our Rose house works so well we want to equip 

 five more houses. The labor and hose saved will in a short time 

 pay for the system." Ki-eh.m's Niirsekies, Arlington Heights. 111.
