THE GARDEN MAGAZINE 



April, 19 19 



To gamble with 

 the weather is to 

 play a losing game 



YOUR beautiful lawns and gardens, on 

 which you have expended so much money, 

 time and labor, should not be left to the 

 mercy of the scorching dry spells of summer 

 when it is so easy to protect them with the 



m 



Systems of Irrigation 



An Underground System of piping in conjunction with 

 the Cornell Rain Cloud Nozzle sends the water evenly in 

 a fine spray over every foot of your lawn or garden. A 

 turn of the control valve and you have an artificial rain 

 which can be regulated at will in duration or quantity. 



The Underground System, adapted for lawns can be 

 installed without disfigurement of the turf and does not 

 interfere with mowing. 



The Overhead System for Gardens is supplied from 

 underground piping and upright nozzles which do not 

 interfere with cultivation. The Cornell Portable Sprin- 

 kler is recommended for small areas of 15 to 45 feet 

 diameter.
