The so-called Vermorel nozzle (Fig. 62), as made by the Gould Company 

 and others, is constructed on the same principle as the old Cyclone nozzle, 

 with the addition of a degorger by which any small obstruction can be 



removed from the orifice.

It is an excellent nozzle 

 for Bordeaux mixture in 

 particular, when small 

 plants are to be sprayed, 

 as its spray can only be 

 equaled by that of the 

 Nixon. 



The Graduating Spray 

 nozzle has been much 

 used, and can be readily 

 adjusted to throw either 

 a solid stream or almost 

 any kind of spray. Its 

 principal objection is 

 that it readily clogs, and 

 although by the remov- 

 ing of a screw it can be 

 taken apart and the 

 obstruction removed, it 

 often causes a consider- 

 able delay, especially if Fig. eS.-Gradnating Nozzle. 



a geared machine is used, as the hose may 

 burst. Another objection to this nozzle, 

 especially when small plants are to be 

 sprayed, is that it is wasteful of material. 



The Boss nozzle was one of the first 

 brought out and is still much used. It is 

 shown in Fig. 64. 



F. E. Myers & Bro. make a very ingen- 

 ious nozzle, which can be adjusted at will 

 to throw any kind of spray. The stream 

 leaves the nozzle through a small, round 

 hole and is thrown against a projecting 

 portion of the nozzle, at any desired angle, 

 and in this way the character of the spray 

 can be varied. If the nozzle becomes 

 clogged it can be freed from the obstruc- 

 tion in a simple manner. It is called the 

 Bordeaux nozzle. 



One of the best of the new nozzles for 

 almost any kind of spraying is a modifica- 

 tion of the Vermorel, made by the Bean- 

 Chamberlain Company.
