A Work Saving Result 
Insuring Sprinkling System 
For Your Garden 
D ON’T let all the painstaking work that you’re 
going to put into that garden of yours this 
Spring; all the seeding, hoeing and back- 
aching — go for naught. Protect it against 
the dry weather days that come along and shrivel up 
your flowers or vegetables. 
A Skinner System Sprinkling Line is your sure 
insurance against such a happening. 
No trouble. No bother. Just turn on the water 
and it does the rest. Thoroughly and uniformly 
waters your garden with a fine mist-like spray. Does 
not pack the soil. Nor injure the finest foliage. Easy 
to put up, take down, or change location. A few min- 
utes ’ attention waters your garden. Fifty foot line 
fully equipped costs $13.75. Waters 2,500 square 
feet. For other lines add 25 cents a foot extra. For 
$14 we can equip lines with an Automatic Turning 
Device, which will move the spray from one side to 
the other and then itself shuts off the water. Time 
of watering under full control. Send for full infor- 
mation about this Skinner Sprinkling System.
