 which includes the charge for validat- 

 ing the ticket at Baltimore. Tickets 

 will be on sale from August 11 to 16,

^'HAMILTON-MADE" 

 GREENHOUSE HOSE 



anteed. 



I 



What our mark on hose means 



"Hamilton-Made" means superior quality in general and on© 

 thing in particular* The "one thing in particular" is this: 



On every length of "Hamilton-Made" hose you will notice a 

 mark not found on any other hose — "Guaranteed 750 pounds 

 pressure," or 700 or 500, etc., according to the grade. On our 

 "Hamilton" brand every length has been tested under pressure 

 of 750 pounds to the square inch. Any piece showing defect is 

 rejected. 750 pounds is five times the usual pressure in 

 steam boiiers. Think of it ! Do you wonder that this hose 

 is strong; that it is stiff and will not kink ? 



"Hamilton" brand, our highest grade hose, selling at 25 cents 

 a foot, will last three to five years under ordinary greenhouse use; 

 it will stand three or four times as much wear as common hose. 

 As often happens, the liigli grade is the ciieapest* 



Under the same brands and of the same excellent qoalitlea, we make 

 Hose (or Snction, for Steam Service and for Spraying.
