Water Keeps Your Plants Alive 
Remember—plants that go thirsty also go hungry—even 
the richest soil cannot supply food without water to 
dissolve the food elements. And because plants literally 
eat with their small hair roots you must put their water 
supply deep into the soil for proper feeding. 
Attached to your garden hose the IRI-GATOR puts the 
water where it does the most good—at the plant roots. 
Three times as fast as the conventional cloth soaker or 
usual sprinkler—water flows freely but gently through 
the IRI-GATOR. Little or no soil washing and with no 
wet foliage to invite disease. 
Nothing to wear out or to become loose. No screws or 
moving parts—sturdy aluminum and brass with ‘“Spun- 
Together’’ construction. Built to stand garden usage and 
the weather, The IRI-GATOR is ‘Garden Tested and 
Approved’’ by the Men’s Garden Club of America and 
thousands of good gardeners everywhere. Nearly 100,000 
in use.
