This method is good as jar as 

 it goes. But it doesn't go far 

 enough. Moistens top. Sel- 

 dom wets roots. 



Why Water by Hand 



When the Skinner System 



Does It So Handy? 



MAKES watering as simple as rolling off 

 the well-known log. 

 Turn a valve, and you can water all 

 your little garden plot, or acres at a time. 

 One as easy as the other. 



Entirely solves your watering problem. 

 Eliminates the rain-waiting worry. 

 Makes the work already done in your gar- 

 den, do so much more work for you. 



If nothing else, it will surely double the 

 garden yield; which is only another way of 



saying: it more than pays for itself the first 

 season. 



No moving parts to get out of order. 



No pipes to put under ground. Simply tap 

 connections to your water pipe, or attach a 

 Aose. 



One sectional, movable 50 foot line, waters 

 25 feet each way. 



Costs $18.75; 100 foot one $36.25; f. o. b. 

 Troy, Ohio. Other lengths in proportion. 



Shipments prompt. Send for booklet.

 DEN MAGAZINE and let us bind them for you. 

 There is a new volume every six months, and Vol. 

 26 is ready now. Send your magazines by Parcel
