Lawn Sprinklers 



Lawns need an abundance of water to enable their rich luxuriance to be 

 maintained during hot dry weather. If the soil was originally prepared very 

 deeply to induce deep root action, the necessity for artifiicial watering is less 

 pronounced, but lawns intelligently laid down in this manner are in the 

 minority in this country. It is therefore advisable on lawns with the 

 average thin turf to water or "sprinkle" frequently. In such cases a 



necessary adjunct, being far superior to a 

 hose nozzle, ^he latter usually throws too 

 strong a stream, eventually washing the earth 

 from the grass roots leaving them exposed to |:'.' 

 the injurious effects of the hot sun thus causing 

 the grass to burn up. With a lawn sprinkler 

 the same flow of water is broken up and uni- 

 formly distributed over a large area in the form 

 of fine gentle rain, thoroughly saturating the 

 ground covered without any injurious washing. 



Campbell 

 Automatic Sprinkler 



is constructed of brass, with the exception of the 

 ball-bearings which are bell metal and bronze. 

 The machine has two discharge tubes, and the 

 water being forced under pressure from the stand 

 pipe through the sprinkler, is projected a great 

 distance, the machine being revolved by the reac- 

 tion of the atmosphere against the stream, which 

 in emerging from the small tube, is broken up 

 and evenly distributed at a considerable distance 

 from the stand pipe, in a circle of 50 to 60 feet in 

 diameter. (See engraving.) Price, S.S..50.

THE "shower" lawn SPRINKLER. 



The Skinner "Lawn Mist" Irrigator. 



This is virtually the famous " Skinner Irrigation System " on wheels and 

 is therefore portable and may be placed and moved any where on the lawn 

 orin the garden where it can be connected to the garden hose. Its advantages 

 are that it waters a large area with but little attention and the water is dis« 

 tributed evenly and gently in a fine spray which does not pack nor crust the 

 ground nor wash soil from the roots of grass or plants, besides the chill 3 

 taken off the water for the minute drops absorb warmth from the air before 

 descending and also cool the atiposphere. The refreshing effect on a sultry 

 night being most noticeable. The Skinner Lawn Mist Irrigator is a length 

 of galvanized pipe in which are fitted about every three feet apart, clusters of 

 small spray nozzles so arranged that the distribution of water is entirely uni- 

 form the entire length of the pipe — and over a width of from 16 to 20 feet 

 according to the volume and pressure of the water supply. A 12 foot section 

 of pipe is fitted to 4 sets of nozzles, a 15 foot section to 5 sets and an 18 foot 

 section to 6 sets of spraying nozzles. A 15 foot length operating under a 30 lb. 

 pressure will distribute about 5 gallons of water per minute, other lengths 

 in proportion. Where the water supply and pressure is sufficient two or more 

 lengths of pipe may be connected and operated at one time and if the extra 

 lengths are fitted with our " flexible couplings" the pipes may be placed at dif- 

 ferent angles as may be desirable. The Skinner "Lawn Mist" Irrigator 

 works best with a water pressure of 30 lbs. or more though very satisfactory 

 results are given with pressures as low as 20 lbs. Each section is fitted to a 

 neat 2-wheel truck at one end and a shoe runner at the opposite end. Coupled 

 for J hose. 



Price, per 12 foot section, S12.00; 15 ft. section, $13.50; 18 footsection, 

 gl5.00. Flexible coupling to connect two sections, 75c. each. 



This is the best lawn sprinkler made. It can be attached to hose and placed 

 anywhere on the lawn, where it serves the double purpose of a beautiful fountain and 

 of thoroughly saturating the grass or garden. The water is distributed fine and in 

 drops over an area of 60 to 100 feet in circumference, according to the water pres- 

 sure. An ornamental standard, about four 

 feet high, is surmounted with long perforated 

 arms, which revolve, so the beautiful sprays 

 are constantly changing. 



Prices, 4-arm sprinkler, S3. 50; 8-arm, 14.00. 



BALL and BASKET. This fits on top of 

 the Henderson sprinkler, and the stream of 

 water keeps the silvered ball dancing on its 

 summit up in the air. When the ball falls 

 the basket catches it, and it rolls into the 

 centre and is again raised bv the water. 



Price, ,?.■?. 50 extra. 



The "Shower" Lawn Sprinkler. 



One of the most satisfactory lawn sprinklers 

 we offer. It is very simple — no parts to 

 revolve, squeak, clog, wear or get out of 

 order. No arms to break off. It is a round 

 box-like affair — about 3 inches in diameter 

 by 1 in. in depth with a turbine arrangement 

 inside which gives the water passing through 

 a swirl causing it to pass through the single 

 opening and be distributed over a circular 

 area 25 feet or more in diameter according to 

 the water pressure. The water descends 

 evenly from center to circumference in the 

 form of fine rain. Price, on stand $2.75 (mail 

 weight 4 lb.); without stand, to be u.^ied I's 

 a nozzle, J1.25 (mail we^ihi \ lb.).
