You Want It 
From the Authority on 
Gladioli 
Mr. A. E. Kunderd, the well known 
authority on gladioli, who has contrib¬ 
uted to the pleasure of millions with his 
beautiful gladioli, says: 
“Frequent, thorough watering of the soil 
in the evening is a wonderful stimulant 
and gives the bloom much greater sun 
resistance and lasting qualities. Never 
lose sight of the fact that the three great¬ 
est essentials to the successful growing of 
gladioli, as of almost anything else, are: 
good soil, good and frequent cultivation, 
and plenty of water at all times. When 
the plants begin to ripen, watering 
should be discontinued.” 
All of which applies as well to all classes 
of flowers and vegetable stock. 
Tell us the dimensions of your garden, and we will 
show you how lo make it an unqualified success.

Are Summer Droughts 
Cheating You? 
Do you see crops wilt before your eyes or stand 
still waiting for rain that’s problematic? Re¬ 
member that the greater part of all plant sub¬ 
stance is water and lack of water means lack of, 
or greatly diminished crops. 
There is one sure way to have a thrifty mid¬ 
summer garden. Have on hand that handy rain¬ 
maker— 
The Campbell Water fan— 
Rain When and Where You Want It! 
This little five pound mechanical rain-maker 
will work wonders at the end of any garden hose 
hacked with ic pounds of pressure. Oscillating, 
it spreads an even, gentle rain, covering a rectan¬ 
gular surface 15 feet wide by 60 feet long, and 
leaving no nook or corner unwatered. Easily 
adjusted just by turning a little thumb screw. 
No tools needed to make connection; easily 
moved about; direction of sprinkling, angle of 
sprinkling, evenness of water distribution and 
distance of watering desired under absolute con¬ 
trol. Though the Waterfan weighs but 5 pounds, 
it is built so substantially that it will last for years. 
Nothing to get out of order. Always ready for 
thorough work.
