Rain From A Clear Sky 



by installing 



Cornell Systems of Irrigation 



Green Lawns at all times. Flowers and Shrubbery made more beautiful. 

 Increased Crops and finer grade of Garden Products. 



The accompanying illustrations show the Cornell Underground and Overhead Sys- 

 tems of Irrigations in operation. These Systems, equipped with our patent Rain Cloud 

 nozzle, consist of a series of pipes laid underground and graduated in size to give 

 an equal flow of water to each nozzle. The nozzles are placed at intervals, guar- 

 anteeing a uniform spray over the entire area to be irrigated and can be adjusted 

 to discharge a fine mist or heavy shower. 



The Underground System as applied 

 to lawns is the only practical method 

 of spraying large areas and preserv- 

 ing same in perfect condition through 

 periods of drought. In operation it 

 adds greatly to the attractiveness of 

 the grounds, giving the effect of 

 many fountains in action. The pip- 

 ing and nozzles are entirely covered, 

 no part of the system showing above 



Cornell Irrigation represents a sub- 

 stantial saving in water consumption 

 and cost of labor to the owner, due 

 to even distribution and simplicity 

 of control, the turning of a valve 

 being the only operation. It can 

 be installed at any time without 

 injury to lawns or gardens. 



Our Services include a survey 

 of your property, together with 

 plans and estimates for com- 



ground. Hand, horse or motor .. r^um cix ID ' 



mowers may be used without s pr ay Nozzle used on the plete installation. Write today
