DREER. "Dreer's first installation of the Skinner System cost $150 and paid back $750 the 

 first year."— Gov. Report. 



BURBANK. "I have used the Skinner System for several years and would not think of irrigating 

 in any other way." 



POHLMANN. "One need only see it (the Skinner System) inaction. Results speak for themselves." 



BOBBINK AND ATKINS. "Sorry we did not get it sooner." 



What the 



MARK 



has done for these men, it will do for you 



The Skinner System of watering will enable you, as it has enabled the 



successful florists whose letters appear above, to grow with its aid, 



Healthier Plants and bigger blooms; to cut your water bills in two and 



with one tenth the labor to water, more thoroughly, evenly, vnth no 



"puddling" and yet not injure the most delicate foliage nor cake the 



ground. 



When experienced florists like these not only install the Skinner 

 System of Irrigation, but continually add to it, don't you think 

 you can place some reliance on their judgment — a judgment 

 that is based on practical watering experience?
