Everything for Your Garden at Reasonable Prices 



JACOB SCHULZ CO., Inc. 



550 S. Fourth Avenue Louisville, Kentucky 



Grounds of Donald S. Tuttle, Naugatuck, 



Connecticut. Planned and planted by our 



Landscape Department. 



Landscape effects like this do not "just happen"; 

 they. must be carefully planned long in advance 

 Start this spring with a definite plan in mind — 

 a group of evergreens here; there a stately 

 beech or elm to intercept the afternoon sun. 

 Consider a Box-barberry hedge for the formal garden; shrubs 

 for foundation massing and for border plantings; hardy 

 Ibolium Privet for hedges. Be sure to have climbing roses 

 for trellises and walls; roses and perennials for the garden, 

 and don't forget the small fruits for the kitchen garden. 

 Write for our 1922 catalogue — it tells 

 you how to use plants for best results.

Rain When Yov AVant It 



It Makes Your Garden Water Itself 



A turn of a valve and at once comes a 

 gentle rain-like watering, that thoroughly 

 and uniformly waters every square inch 

 of your garden. Not just wet on top, 

 mind you; but wet way down below the 

 roots, so they can draw on it for days. 

 It neither puddles nor packs the soil. 

 Increases your soil's fertility by uniformly 

 converting into liquid form the soil foods, 



which are otherwise totally unavailable 



to the roots. 



No watering system waters like the 



Skinner System. It waters equally well, 



a small garden or acres. Even so little 



as $9.75 buys one of our 18 feet Portable 



Rain Makers. 



Nothing to get out of order. Lasts a 



lifetime.

I Think it's Time to 

 Think of Peonies ! 



Make your slogan tor fall work: — Plant more Peonies! 

 It's been my own for nearly half a century and I have 

 never regretted it. Fis-e hundred distinct sorts I am grow- 

 ing now! Too many, many of you will say, "Yes, but they 

 are like children. The more you have, the more you love 

 them and which would you give up?" 

 So please let's get together on the subject of PEONIES. 

 The first step is to get a copy of my free catalogue — please 

 ask for it and send the names of a few friends. Served 

 hundreds of G. M. Readers last year and not one kick! 

 Am proud of the record. Please write me.

Prepare Now For The Hot Dry Days 



No need to worry about the long, hot, rain- 

 less days if you have a Dayton Rotary Os- 

 cillating Sprinkler ready. It makes rain 

 when you want it. 



It sprinkles every foot of ground in a circle, 

 or half circle from 6 feet to 80 feet. 



It is better for your lawn and plants and more 

 saving of water than sprinkling with a hose. 

 The Dayton operates on any water pressure 

 from 15 pounds up. If your local dealer can- 

 not supply you, order from us direct. $8,
