Artificial Rain in Mr. Burbank's Garden 



The kind of sprtnkHna apparatus that Mr. Burbank uses 

 and recommends ts that here shown. It consistt of long pipes, 

 attached to a hose, the pipe having little nozzles at intervals of a few 

 inches, and thus sending forth a series of tiny streams which, rising 

 high in the air, descend on the plants in a shower that closely simu' 

 lates rain from the clouds. The pipes can be turned to 

 throw the spray in either direction, and to regulate the 

 distance at which the shower descends. Remem- 

 ber always that water is food for the 

 plants, — absolutely indispensable food.
