Try This In Your Garden 
When we look over our files, we can’t help 
feeling a bit proud of what the Skinner 
System of Irrigation has accomplished. 
One of the letters is from Mr. John F. 
Mahr, of Guelph, Ontario, President of 
the Canadian Gladiolus Society, in which 
he tells us that the Skinner System was 
largely responsible for the prize winning 
gladioli which he showed at the American 
Gladiolus Society Exhibit at Rochester, 
N. Y., last year. 
The Skinner System will work wonders 
in your vegetable and flower gardens. 
You can start with a small line, inex¬ 
pensive, perfectly simple to install and 
operate. Try it out, and see what garden¬ 
ing means with “Rain when you want it.” 
50 foot line costs only $ 17 . 75 . Covers a 
garden 50 feet square. Anyone can set 
it up in less than an hour, without the 
aid of a plumber. 
JVe will gladly send you full and interesting information on request.
