An anti-squirt ring acts as a handle guard for a palm operated garden hose nozzle lever. The guard is a circular ring, which obliquely surrounds the trigger lever of the garden hose nozzle. If the garden hose nozzle is accidentally dropped, the annular guard ring. The guard provides clearance if the trigger lever and nozzle are dropped. Therefore, the trigger lever will not forcefully contact the ground and be accidentally engaged, suddenly and erratically. The guard prevents unwanted spraying water from the nozzle in unwanted directions, such as at the user or at objects which should not get wet. The wire is configured in an annular ring and is either manufactured with the garden hose nozzle, or is attached by clamps, cable ties or hook and loop type fasteners.

An assembly according to claim 1 wherein said indicating sheet is positioned between said side wall of said container and said flexible liner with said indicia facing inwardly so that said indicia and the levels to which liquids can be poured into the cavity in the flexible liner are viewed looking down through the opening into the cavity in said liner. 5. An assembly according to claim 4 wherein when transparent liquids are poured into the cavity in the flexible liner, due to indexes of refraction of the liquid and the polymeric material from which the liner is made, the indicia on the indicating sheet below the level of liquid in the liner will visually disappear at angles of incidence to the liquid surface of less than about 60 degrees because of totally internal reflection of light from the interface between the liner and a layer of air between the liner and the indicating sheet. 6. An assembly according to claim 1 further including an adapter assembly comprising a central portion having a through opening and being adapted to engage the inlet port of a liquid spraying device, a transverse portion including a peripheral part adapted for engagement within said flexible liner adjacent said top end of said container, and means for securing the flexible liner around said peripheral part of the adapter assembly. 7. An assembly according to claim 1 wherein said indicating sheet is of polyester and has a thickness in the range of 0.0025 to 0.0045 inch or 0.0064 to 0.0114 cm. 8. A method for providing a supply of mixed component liquids for a liquid spraying device, said method comprising the steps of: providing a container of stiff polymeric material comprising a side wall having top and bottom ends, and a bottom wall extending across the bottom end of the side wall, the container having an inner surface defining a cavity in the container, and the top end of the side wall defining an opening into the cavity, a portion of the inner surface along the side wall having the shape of a conical frustum and increasing in diameter from the bottom end toward the top end of the side wall; providing a liner of flexible visually transparent material having an outer surface corresponding in shape to the inner surface of the container, an inner surface defining a cavity in the liner, and an annular lip adapted to be positioned along the top end of the side wall of the container when the outer surface of the liner is along the inner surface of the container, said annular lip defining an opening into the cavity in the liner; providing an indicating sheet of resiliently flexible polymeric material adapted to conform in shape to the inner surface of said container and bearing indicia that when the sheet is positioned along the inner surface of the container will indicate the levels to which a plurality of different liquids can be sequentially poured into the cavity in the flexible liner to achieve a predetermined ratio between the liquids; positioning the indicating sheet in the cavity along the side wall of the container; positioning the liner within the cavity in the container so that the indicating sheet is between the liner and the side wall of the container; and sequentially pouring the component liquids into the cavity in the liner to levels indicated by indicia on the indicating sheet to achieve a predetermined ratio between the component liquids. 9. A method according to claim 8 wherein the container further includes an annular portion having a concave inner surface between said side wall and said bottom wall, said indicating sheet has a length ad
