Sprinkler in the market at the same pressure, and its superiority is shown by its simplic- 
ity, ease with which it can be cleared of any obstructions, effectiveness while working in 
a strong wind ; also the circle watered can be reduced to any desired size, by turning the 
supply partly off.

In connection with a force pump, it can be used with good effect in Green-Houses, 
Hot-Beds, etc.

only to be screwed to the hose, and the pin stuck in the ground to be used.
