ANTIM0NIAL RED RUBBER GARDEN HOSE, 
Last four times as long as ordinary white vulcanized hose, 
stands severe Government tests, thus proving superiority of 
quality ; lighter in weight, greater in strength, and cheaper in 
the long run than any other hose for garden use. A corre¬ 
spondent writes “ I have had a length of your Red Rubber 
Hose in use nine years, and it is now as good as ever.” Beware 
of counterfeit red hose, and order direct. Samples and priced 
catalogue of hose, garden engines, and fittings free.
