Double Your Garden Pleasures! 
A thirsty garden does not grow. And a “stand-still” garden means crop pleasures de¬ 
ferred. Get the utmost out of your garden by keeping it well watered, but be sure to wa¬ 
ter it the correct way. Drenching it with an ordinary nozzle often does more harm than 
good. Water your garden the modern way by creating 
Rain When and Where You Want It 
Through the Campbell Waterfan 
Easily attached to garden hose. Ordinary water pressure causes oscillating of nozzle rod. 
Applies water like a gentle shower over a rectangular area up to 16 x 60 feet. Easily moved 
about, with direction and angle of sprinkling under absolute control. It gets into the cor¬ 
ners inaccessible to rotary sprinklers. Substantially made of steel and brass, it is sold under the 
unqualified guarantee offered alongside. 
“Money-Back” 
Guarantee 
We guarantee the Waterfan to 
operate perfectly with ordinary 
water pressure. Attached quick¬ 
ly to any garden hose. If, after 
testing, you are not thoroughly 
satisfied with the Waterfan, re¬ 
turn it, and your money will be 
refunded.

Another season has seen Melrosine victor¬ 
ious in its battle against that arch enemy 
of the rose garden, the Rose 
Bug. Wherever it hit, it 
killed, and thousands of gar¬ 
dens are better off for the 
“house cleaning” done with 
the aid of Melrosine. For not 
only is it fatal to every bug 
it touches, but its cleansing 
qualities stand for general 
good health to vegetation.
