Gentle Showers! 



If there is any one thing plant life resents, it is the 

 drenching baths given to it via the nozzle of a garden 

 hose. Plant life needs water, above all else, but that 

 water should be supplied as nearly in nature's own way 

 as possible in order to prove most beneficial. If you have 

 Evergreens (and which reader of G. M. has not!) then 

 you can not give them a greater treat any time during 

 July and August than to turn on a gentle shower through 

 the Campbell Waterfan.
