Bring April Days 



To 



Scorching August 



When the hot, dry days 

 of August bring out rusty 

 spots in the lawn — when 

 the perennial borders and 

 the kitchen garden are 

 shriveling in the heat — then 

 is the time to use the 



YOUNG 

 FOUNTAIN 



It's a lifesaver for thirsty 

 vegetation — throws a fine, mist- 

 like spray over everything in a 

 circle 30 feet in diameter. De- 

 livers 3J gallons a minute, yet 

 will not flatten down or wash 

 out the tenderest seedlings. 



Lasts a lifetime; and one sea- 

 son's service is worth several 

 times the price — $5.00. Shipped 

 on receipt of check or money 

 order. Discounts for quantity: 

 special discount to dealers.
