From a Satisfied User 
Rain When You Want It 
“I am very glad indeed to add a word of praise for the Skinner Irriga¬ 
tion System. My garden this year was on a plot of ground 50x145, almost en¬ 
tirely sub-soil, as between five and six feet has been taken off the top in grading; 
but thanks to the Skinner System and proper fertilizer, I was enabled to grow as 
fine a lot of gladiolus and dahlias as I have ever had. 
“I hooked up my system by feeding the water from the center and run¬ 
ning both ways of the lot. This allows me to water any one-fourth of the garden 
that I wish to. This is especially advantageous in growing dahlias as I find that 
for the first six weeks, water is really not good for them unless the ground is ex¬ 
ceptionally dry. But as the buds begin to form, fertilizer and water certainly 
bring out "the finest flowers one could want.”
