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
