Rain When Want It 
An Irrigated Garden 
The vegetable garden of Mr. William Walbridge, at Perrys- 
burg, Ohio, with its hardy border, shows the results produced 
by using a Skinner Irrigation System. 
All chances of disappointment through drought are complete¬ 
ly removed, for the Skinner System keeps the ground soft 
and moist at all times, lengthening the season and producing 
bigger and better crops at a cost that is negligible when com¬ 
pared with the results secured and the losses prevented. 
Tell us the length and breadth of your 
garden, and zee will tell you what a 
suitable Skinner System will cost.

Evergreens 
To Brighten the 
World in Winter 
There’s a Norse-like sturdiness in 
evergreens that makes them welcome 
in our gardens, our streets, our parks, 
and our playgrounds. No grounds 
can even approach completeness with¬ 
out their picturesque grace and rich¬ 
ness of color in winter and summer. 
Use them Generously— 
Avoid Future Regrets 
Year by year Evergreens increase in 
value—season after season your pride 
in them grows. Measured in beauty 
and time-saving Hick’s big Evergreens 
are the cheapest investment you can 
make. You can get them by the 
truck-load or car-load, and know 
they will live—we guarantee them.

er of weeds as well as a perfect surface binder and dust preventive.
