A Happy Solution For 
Your Garden Watering Worries 
T HIS ardent flower lover lives a day’s ride from New York. 
Perhaps you know her. If you do, you very likely already 
know about the Happy Solution. 
For those of you who don’t, here’s the story. 
It seems that she agreed to do all the “ ’tending garden,” provided 
the man of the house would keep it watered. 
This he agreed to do, and then promptly began looking around 
for a way of entirely emancipating himself from “hose holding.” 
He finally successfully solved the problem by spending #11.75 f° r 
one of our Ram Machines, and freed himself from all responsibility. 
His wife now turns on the faucet and the garden waters itself. 
Doesn’t this kind of emancipation appeal to you? 
Send for booklet fully describing the Rain Machine.

Are as large as small oranges. This and the three other Van Fleet hybrid strawberries are marvels in size, beauty and 
productiveness, with the true wild strawberry flavor. They cover the whole season, from earliest till latest. 
Lovett’s Pot Grown Strawberry Plants 
Planted in summer or autumn, produce a crop of berries the following June. My booklet on Pot Grown Strawberries tells all about then) ; how to 
prepare the ground, and cultivate. It shows the “ Edmund Wilson " in natural size and color, and actually describes with truthful illustrations 
the Van PTeet hybrids and a score of other choice varieties, including the best Everbearing Strawberries. IT’S FUEL. If you would have 
bigger and better Strawberries than you have ever had before, plant Van Fleet Hybrids.
