 Camhtrland County, N. J. 



This is bat one of the 

 examples of the way the 

 Skinner System of Irri- 

 gation gets maximum ef- 

 ficiency oat of your soil 



Another Instance — John R. Davis, Bartow, Fla., says: 

 "On every plot that has been installed, the first crop has 

 paid more than twice the cost of the entire system. 

 Again — (From the U. S. Department of Agricultural 

 Bulletins, No. 167.) Henry A. Dreer, of Philadelphia, 

 showed a gain of 5750.00 from 1 and 1-10 acres of 

 fiowers and strawberries after he installed irrigation. 

 Can you afford to be without the Skinner System? 



Investigate this wonderful new irrig^ation today. It 



will mean double the crops with one-third the labor 



— with no risk from drought. 



The spray from the Skinner System descends in a 



mist form — cannot cake the ground, or bruise the 



tenderest foliage. It Is a perfect rainfall — under 



your absolute control at all times.

 complete information on modern irrigation methods— both 

 greenliouse and outdoor, and letters of praise from Grow- 

 ers and Florists all over the country. Write today to
