ARTIFICIAL RAIN -IN MR.
BURBAXK'S GARDEN
Mr, Burbank uses and recommends
a sprinkling apparatus like that shown
here. It consists of long pipes attached
to a hose, each pipe having little nozzles
at intervals of a few inches, thus send-
ing forth a series of tiny streams which,
rising high in the air, descend on the
plants in a shower that closely simulates
rain from the clouds. The pipes can be
turned to throw the spray in either
direction, and to regulate the distance
at which the shower descends. Remem-
ber always that water is food for the
plants absolutely indispensable food.
