Systems of Irrigation 



The Overhead and Underground Cornell Systems (as well as the 

 Cornell Portable Sprinkling Apparatus) can be installed to cover 

 any area. Equipped with the patented, adjustable Rain Cloud 

 Nozzles, these systems enable you to control instantly and con- 

 veniently the one factor of supreme importance to the beauty of 

 your lawn and the success of your garden. 



Cornell Systems are economical of water, time and effort. Their 

 installation does not injure lawn or garden. Because of our 

 wide spread organization, we are in a position to install them 

 promptly, at any time and in any locality. Write for free
