Brooks Systems, Inc. 
“Rain 's Only Rival ” 
for 
Beautiful 
Lawns * * 
Grass, flowers and shrubbery can be 
at their best only when they receive 
sufficient quantities of moisture at regu¬ 
lar intervals. The Brooks System of 
irrigation, through a network of under¬ 
ground copper pipes, with sprayheads 
set at regular intervals, provides a means 
whereby your lawn and garden may lie 
kept beautiful through the hottest, dry- 
est season, with minimum human at¬ 
tention. 
Brooks Systems are laid out by ex¬ 
perienced irrigation engineers, and are 
designed to provide an even supply of 
water to every portion of the lawn and 
garden. Once the System has been in¬ 
stalled. operation involves only the open¬ 
ing and closing of a few valves. 
A Brooks System is a permanent im¬ 
provement in your real estate, a sound 
and paying investment. For details

• • Be Sure to Plant Our 
Hardy Lawn Grass Seed 
The most important feature of home 
grounds is the lawn. And nothing about 
the place will give as fine appearance as 
a good velvety lawn. And in order to 
have this one must sow the best com¬ 
bination of seed. Some grasses grow 
well early, some during the summer, and 
some later in the season, and no one kind 
will produce a fine lawn throughout the 
entire season, so that one must use a 
mixture of good early, medium and late 
kinds. 
By using our specially prepared lawn 
grass seed mixture a deep green velvety 
lawn can be produced in from four to 
six weeks.
