Water Wand 
A Practical, Scientifically Designed 
Irrigating Tool 
Attaches to Your Garden Hose 
Conserves Soil and Fertilizer 
With a WATER WAND, the correct watering of 
your garden becomes a pleasant pastime, with these 
distinct advantages: 
1 You can irrigate quickly and thoroughly without 
breaking down tender plants or washing away 
rich top soil, humus, or fertilizer. 
2 Foliage and blooms are left dry and therefore less 
susceptible to fungi, mildew and other diseases. 
3 Full pipe-volume of water is released quickly in 
a steady, gentle flow to lie motionless and soak 
in deeply around the roots. Cuts watering time 
in half with double efficiency. 
4 Protective sprays and dusting powders are not 
washed off the foliage. They stay there for 
protection during rainy periods. 
5 Reaches plants and shrubs in deep borders with¬ 
out wetting your feet or clothing; no trampling 
of delicate plants. 
6 Placed flat on the ground, the WATER WAND 
gives large evergreens, trees and shrubs a 
thorough soaking; will not clog. 
7 Endorsed by prominent amateur and professional 
gardeners, and experiment stations and nurs¬ 
erymen, WATER WAND became, in a single 
season, the favorite implement of thousands of 
home gardeners.
