August Is the Hard Month on Gardens 

 Order Your Skinner System Rain Machine Now 



YOU know how it has been so many other years, when 

 your vegetables and flowers have continued a joy to 

 your heart, right through July, only to be dried up with 

 the hot suns and drying winds of August. 



It is just such things that certainly test the love of 

 gardening there is in us. 



To spend hours with a hose in your hand, is out of the 

 question. Still, if you just sprinkle things, instead of wet- 

 ting them thoroughly; you are apt to do more harm than 

 good. 



But why be bothered with watering worries, when for so 

 little as Srr.75 you can get one of our Complete Portable 



Irrigation Lines, that will, with a turn of the faucet, water 

 a space 50 feet long and 50 wide? 



You can attach it right to your regular hose. The water 

 will be distributed gently and evenly wherever you want it- 



These Portable Lines are made of galvanized iron and 

 brass. Nothing to wear or rust out. Ought to last you a 

 lifetime. 



Srr.75 buys the complete semi-portable 50 foot line. 

 $23.00 buys a 100 foot line; other lengths at proportionate 

 prices. If you send money with the order, we will pay 

 freight East of the Mississippi. 



Our Portable Line Booklet you are welcome to.
