AIR SPRAYER."]

Each year proves the importance of spraying fruit trees and plants in order to destroy the insects and secure a good crop of fruit. The largest and most successful fruit growers are the most enthusiastic on spraying. It will pay you to invest in spraying apparatus if you have only one fruit tree. The spraying of apple and plum trees is especially recommended. Will furnish table giving formula for making mixtures and directions for application of same upon request.

DAISY SPRAYING PUMP.—This popular little sprayer is shown by our illustration. We sell hundreds of these pumps which are used for spraying insecticides and whitewash in the poultry house, also for spraying fruit trees and plants. Can be changed so as to throw a solid stream of water 20 to 30 feet high and used for washing windows, buggies, etc. Price only $1.00. Can be sent by express only.

RIPLEY' S COMPRESSED AIR SPRAYER.—After careful examination and test of a number of Compressed Air Sprayers we have decided to offer the Ripley, having been convinced that it is the best constructed and most durable of any on the market. Compressed Sprayers are coming rapidly into use and are the most satisfactory for ordinary work, especially for plants of all kinds and trees that are not more than 25 feet high. It is claimed by the manufacturer that it will stand a greater pressure and force a finer spray or a continuous stream a greater distance than any other compressed sprayer made. It is made to strap to body and a person can walk along and spray at leisure by simply turning the stop cock off and on. These sprayers are all fitted with single Vermorel nozzle for fine or coarse spray, and with three feet of hose.

No. 15—4-gal. galvanized, the most convenient size, each... $5.00
No. 16—4 gal. copper, will last the longest in using poison solution... 7.00

LIGHTNING ATOMIZER NO. 2.--Decidedly the best insect exterminator on the market. The reservoir is made of the best brass with double tube and has double the capacity of any other atomizer that we know of, thoroughly covering a very wide space at each action of the handle, and the spray is so fine that it thoroughly covers both under and upper side of the leaves, and everywhere that insects can find lodgment. The spray is so fine that one quart of liquid will spray 1,000 hills of potatoes. Invaluable for spraying plums, grapes, currants, melons and all other fruit and vegetable plants. We consider it fully equal to the more expensive machines for this purpose which are sold at $12.00 to $15.00 each. Price only $1.00, postage 25c.
