A Water Garden is Easily Made 



Water gardens possess a peculiar charm, and are 

 easy to make. All you need is a small pool or tub, 

 water, sunlight — and Tricker's plants. 



Water Lilies and Water Plants (my 1918 Cata 

 log) shows rare sorts in natural colors; tells how 

 to build a pool, and care for the plants. Send for 

 a copy.

SO SIMPLE A CHILD CAN OPERATE IT 



Is This Crop-Doubling, Drought-Protecting Sprinkling Line 



ALL there is to "operating" the Skinner Sprinkling 

 Line is to turn it on and turn it off, and occasion- 

 ally change the direction of the sprays. 

 It will make your garden practically "water itself." 

 Will relieve you once and for all of all the drudgery of 

 hose-lugging. 



Will give you a chance to devote your "extra hour 

 of daylight" to more pleasurable or profitable pur- 

 suits. 



The Skinner Sprinkling Line will enable you to get 

 twice the crops from the same garden plot. 

 It will religiously guard those crops from failure. 

 It spells Conservation — of land, of time, and of produc- 

 tion. As a starter, send $18.75 for a 50 ft. Sectional 

 and Movable Garden Sprinkling Line. Waters 2,500 

 square feet. $36.25 for a 100 ft. line. Other lengths 

 in proportion. We build them to fit your garden. 

 Booklet is yours for the asking.
