An Interesting Greenhouse Instance 
“THIS owner reversed things. He built his greenhouse and 
sunroom first; and then added his residence to them. 
How it came about is told in our new catalog, which 
we have a notion you will particularly enjoy and profit 
by perusing. After you have even so much as glanced 
through it, we are sure your conception of what is involved 
in the building of a greenhouse such as we build, will surely 
have decidedly broadened. 
You will appreciate the difficulties and proportionately 
the accomplishments, in constructing houses of such high 
quality, and still being able to maintain a price that comes 
well within your possible possession. 
Your buying a greenhouse is not a question of our selling 
ability; but one of selt convincement on your part. The 
catalog you will find a ready help to you. We send them 
only on request.

These Garden Watering Questions 
AM I going to placidly look on while my garden dries up 
again this year, as it has so often; or will I invest $11.75 
for a 50 foot Skinner System Portable Line covering a space 
50 feet square, that will water every inch uniformly? Not 
only water it, but do it so gently that even the tender seed- 
lings will not be harmed. 
Do it without packing the ground. Do it without endless 
hose holdings; wetting my clothes and soaking my shoes. But 
best of all, it can be doing it while 1am doing something else. 
Simply turn on the*water; and then turn the water any- 
where on any part of the 50 foot width that I want it. 
The 
Skinner Irrigation 
Company 
No bursting hose to mend. No lugging it around evenings 
when the rest of the family are enjoying themselves on the 
stoop, or off motoring. . 
If remittance is sent with the order, delivery charges will be 
prepaid, East of the Mississippi. 
Put the question up to yourself and whether or not you 
answer it now, at least send for our Portable Line booklet and 
get the full particulars. Lines can be furnished in any length 
to fit your garden. $125. it says, will buy an entire acre 
watering equipment. 100 foot line $23.
