sufficiency of air to promote strong, healthy growth.

Which Way For You? 
Trifling Sprinkling Can, 
Leaky, Ground Packing Hose, 
Or An Automatic Watering Like 
yee already know all you need to know 
about the inadequacy of the watering 
can, and the tiresome unsatisfactory hose 
way; so-it’s now left to you to find out 
about the Skinner System way. The way 
that all you have to do is turn on the water: 
then turn the water where you want it to 
water; and let it water while you do some- 
thing else. 
In a jiffy you can put it up in your gar- 
den, or take it down and change its location. 
Nothing to wear out, ought to last a life time.
