BEST LAWN TOOLS AND THEIR USE I3I 



Ugly channels, particularly if the ground is 

 .vet and loose. 



Garden hose is regularly manufactured 

 in multiples of twenty-five feet lengths. 

 There is a great advantage in having just 

 a little more than is actually necessary. The 

 reserve length is always handy in case of 

 accident and the consequent necessity of 

 cutting down one of the sections. As offered 

 in the stores the hose comes conplete with 

 front and end couplings for attachment to 

 the faucet and for uniting with any other 

 length. The standard dimensions of garden 

 hose are three quarter inch and one inch hose. 

 It is better to use the larger size. 



Nozzles to be used on the hose are of various 

 types. One of the best is what is known as the 

 graduating spray. By means of this at- 

 tachment the water can be thrown in a fine 

 or coarse spray or in a solid jet. This adds 

 considerably to the general utility of the hose 

 and it can be used as well for watering and 

 for washing. 



After use the hose should be carefully 

 wound up and taken inside, out of the sun. 

 Never leave it lying around when out of use, 

 and never allow it to stand loaded with water.
