The Indian rain-

“magic roots” in

(9hree Steps in the 
Making of Rain 
W HEN you see the burnt, yellow look creeping into your 
scorched lawn—when your crisp, fresh vegetables start to 
wither under the burning sun—it’s not magic nor costly 
experiments you want—it’s rain! 
In the past the garden hose has served its purpose. But now it 
has been superseded by 
Systems of Irrigation 
which are as superior to it in point of certainty and convenience 
as it was to the magic of the Indian or the exploding of powder. 
The CORNELL System for the lawn 
is laid underground and can be in¬ 
stalled without injury to the turf. The 
nozzles are counter-sunk in protecting 
cups—free from clogging dirt—out of 
sight—and out of the way of the lawn- 
mower. 
The CORNELL System for flower and 
vegetable -gardens also is laid under¬ 
ground with the sprays extending to any 
desired height overhead. By turning a 
valve you can give your lawn or garden 
the right quantity of water—any time. 
Both lawn and garden systems are 
equipped with the CORNELL Rain- 
cloud Nozzles which refresh the thirsty 
plants with any degree of moisture from 
a heavy April shower to a fine cloud of 
drifting mist. Not too much—not too 
little—JUST ENOUGH. And just 
enough means better, bigger vegetables; 
finer, greener lawns. 
Write to us to-day for our booklet 
which, illustrates and describes this 
simple, sure and economical method of 
having Rain When You Want It.

Even the white 
man tried to draw 
the rain-clouds by 
detonating tons of 
high explosives — 
but with poor , 
uncertain results.

The CORNELL 
Systems of Irri¬

only sure methods 
of making rain — 
whenever you 
want it, for lawn 
or garden — in 
heavy clouds or 
drifting, misty 
spray.
