Send for our 1923 Catalogue. 
This picture shows how the gardens 
of J. B. Duke, at Somerville, New 
Jersey, are automatically watered by 
a Skinner Irrigation System. A fine 
spray is thrown 25 feet in one direc¬ 
tion, then automatically reversed to 
cover an equal area on the other side. 
Skinner Systems are equally adapt¬ 
ed to large or small gardens. They 
keep the ground soft and moist, and 
eliminate completely the disappoint¬ 
ments incident to drought. 
Tell us the length and width of your garden, and we will 
send you full information regarding cost and operation.

ALMOST INSTANT BEAUTY— 
An example of our ability to add immediate beauty to 
the home and grounds is shown in this picture, taken 
last fall one week after planting. 
Strong, well formed evergreens such as Pyramidal 
Arbor Vitae, American and Japanese Hemlock, Japan¬ 
ese Yew, Mugho Pines, Rhododendrons, Mountain 
Laurel, Azalea Amoena, Leucothoe, Andromeda and 
Evonymus Vegeta lend beauty and dignity. Such 
deciduous shrubs as Forsythias, Bush Honeysuckle, 
Spiraeas, Ibota and Privet were artistically used. 
A visit to our nurseries will show you the beauty and 
strength of our carefully selected stock. The prices are 
exceptionally reasonable. Quality is of the highest.
