The Secret 

 Of Success 

 In Watering 

 Your Garden 



One of the secrets of a good garden lies in its 

 successful watering. No one denies that. 



Here then are six and one more reasons why 

 the Skinner System of watering brings success. 



I — It's a reproduction of a gentle rain. 

 2 — Soaks down deep, yet does not puddle 



or pack the soil. 

 3 — Gives the right moisture at the right 



time for making available, in liquid 



form the soil's plant foods. 

 4 — Produces twice the crop on same ground, 



of which we have proofs in convincing 



numbers. 



5 — Produces not only earlier, but crisper, 

 more succulent vegetables. 



6 — Grows flowers in greater abundance, 

 richer colorings, and that last longer 

 when cut. 



7 — Easy and inexpensive to put in. Costs 

 practically nothing to operate. Lasts 

 a lifetime. 



Be your garden large or small the Skinner System will fit it. 

 Remarkably interesting catalogue, yours for the asking.

FERTILIZER 



INSECTICIDE 



For Lawn and Garden 



"F & I" is a product with a tobacco base, spec- 

 ially prepared and milled for the purpose of feeding 

 and protecting your lawn and garden. 



Feeds the Plant 



Apply "F & I" now to your lawn and garden, 

 let the coming rains gradually leach into the earth 

 the potash, nitrogen and phosphoric content of this 

 wonderful plant food. "F & I" decomposes very 

 rapidly and adds valuable humus to the soil. 



Kills the Insect 



The high nicotine content of "F & I" kills or 

 drives out the insects, ants, moles, cutworms, etc., 

 from your lawn and garden. It is a perfect mulch 

 for bushes, shrubbery and plants. It will keep 

 away many of the insect pests that harm these 

 plants. 



"F & I" contains no weed seeds and insect pests 

 as do many animal manures, has no objectionable 

 odor and will not burn your grass or plants.
