Lawn Sprinklers 



Lawns need an abundance of water if a luxuriant growth is to be main- 

 tained during hot dry weather. If the soil was originally plowed very 

 deeply to induce deep root action, the necessity for artificial watering 

 is not as great, but lawns laid down in this thorough manner are not 

 very numerous in this country. It is therefore necessary on lawns with 

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

 good lawn sprinkler is absolutely necessary, being far superior to a hose 

 nozzle. The latter usually throws too 

 strong a stream, eventually washing the 

 earth from the roots of the grasses leaving 

 them exposed to the hot sun and causing 

 the grass to burn up. With a lawn sprink- 

 ler the same flow of water is broken up and 

 uniformly distributed over a large area in 

 the form of fine gentle rain, thoroughly 

 saturating the ground covered without 

 any injurious washing out.

HENDERSON S FOUR-ARM 

 LAWN SPRINKLERS 



(with Ball and Basket 

 Attachment). 



CAMPBELL 

 Automatic Sprinkler 



is constructed of brass, with the exception 

 of the ball-bearings which are bell metal 

 and bronze. The machine has two dis- 

 charge 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 reaction 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, 

 $3.50. 



The Sunset Sprinkler. 



Does the work of two sprinklers. When 

 the little thumb nut is screwed up the 

 Sunset covers a perfect half circle, en- 

 abling the user to give his lawn a thorough 

 drenching right up to the edge of the 

 sidewalk without wetting the walk itself. 

 When the little thumb nut is screwed down 

 the Sunset sprinkles a full circle, gentlybut 



Henderson's 4=Arm and 8=Arm lawn Sprinklers 



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 being a beautiful 

 fountain and a very efficient lawn sprinkler at the same time. The water is dis- 

 tributed in fine drops over an area of 60 to 100 feet in circumference, according to 

 the water pressure. An ornamental standard, about four feet high, is surmounted 

 with long perforated arms, which revolve, so that the beautiful sprays are con- 

 stantly changing. (See engraving.) Prices, 4-arm sprinkler, S3. 00; 8-arm, 53.50. 



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 by the water. Price, $3.00 extra. 



The simplest lawn sprinkler made — 

 no revolving parts to wear and get out 

 of order or leak. Easily moved about the 

 lawn — made of polished brass — light, 

 durable and economical. (See engraving.) 

 Price, 60. P.P. 1 lb. 



The Skinner "Lawn Mist" Irrigator. 



This is the famous " Skinner Irrigation System " on wheels and therefore portable. 

 This sprinkler may be placed and moved anywhere on the lawn or in the garden where 

 it can be connected to the garden hose. Its advantages are that it waters a large area 

 with but little attention. The water is distributed evenly and gently in a fine spray 

 which does not pack or crust the ground nor wash soil from the roots of grasses or plants. 

 The chill is taken off the water for the drops absorb warmth from the air before descend- 

 ing and cool the atmosphere. The refreshing effect on a sultry night is most noticeable. 

 The Skinner Lawn Mist Irrigator is a length of galvanized pipe into which are fitted 

 about every three feet apart, clusters of small spray nozzles so arranged that the dis- 

 tribution of water is entirely uniform the entire length of the pipe — and over a width 

 of from 16 to 20 feet according to the volume of 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 different 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 £ hose. (See engraving.) 



Price, per 12 foot section, $8.00; 15 ft. section, $9.00; 18 foot section, $10.00. Flexible coupling to connect two 



sections, 75c. each.
