S ‘/ S. y ; Like All-Night Rain 
a It Really Soaks the Soil 
Soil-Soaker, open only at one end, screws to the end of the 
water hose, replacing the nozzle of sprinkler. When the water 
is turned on, Soil-Soaker fills with water—and normal pressure 
forces water through the pores of the entire surface of Soil- 
Soaker, uniformly, wifhout spray. The soil is Soaked deeply and thoroughly, 
covering an area on all sides of Soil-Soaker. Far 
more beneficial than light surface sprinkling, 
Approximately 25% More Efficient 
By regulating water flow or pressure at the 
faucet, all the water may be placed where it will 
do the most good. Water bills are greatly reduced, 
The ground is soaked but not the foliage, reducing 
to a minimum mildew, black spot, and many other 
leaf troubles caused by overhead Sprinkling of 
flowers.
