Irrigating the Home Garden 
Those two lines of iron pipe shown in this picture 
keep this 100 ft. wide garden supplied with mois¬ 
ture, the ground always soft and free from caking, 
doing away entirely with the disappointments of 
dry weather and the drudgery of hose holding. 
Each line throws a fine spray 25 feet, first in one 
direction, then in the other. 
Skinner Irrigation insures earlier, bigger, and 
better crops.

Yet what wear could be harder on the turf—antics and gymnastics, 
capers and cavortings, until we often wonder what the end will be. 
Still the lawn must be preserved—and Daddy’s pocketbook not 
buckled, so our hearty recommendation is the Coldwell Model “L"’. 
Six acres per day if needed—cleanly cut and gently rolled back 
into place with every passage of the roller smoothing upturned 
turf, and eliminating lawn pests. 
There are many reasons for the Model “L” and your kiddies lawn 
is not the least—we'll demonstrate and tell you more.
