iff! It Gives Your Garden 

 That Early Start 



'T'HE Skinner system of watering immediately 

 -'■ after planting, settles the soil around the seeds, 

 giving the root growth an immediate grip on its 

 food. 



In quick germination, and quickened growth of

 an early garden. Water rightly distributed is a 

 vital necessity, 



Don't wait until your garden needs watering 

 before you buy a Skinner Watering System. 



It's too late then. 



With watering, as with most other things, the 

 time to do them is just before they need doing. 



One of our Portable Lines, 50 feet long costing 

 so little as $21.50, not only does away with hose- 

 lugging and hose-holding, but it waters 2,500 

 square feet at a time.
