The Logical 

 Tractor for 

 Orchard Wsrk 



THIS Avery 5-10 H. P. Tractor gives 

 you the ideal power for orchard culti- 

 vating. Low enough for good clearance 

 under the trees — powerful enough to pull 

 the usual size cultivator — built throughout 

 with sturdy Avery construction, which 

 means long service at lowest cost. 



In addition, this tractor can do lots of your other 

 farm work. It is just the size for doing all the 

 work on small farms or all the light belt and trac- 

 tion work on large farms. It's the smallest and 

 lowest priced tractor made. Operates on kerosene. 



Avery Tractors are made in 6 sizes— from this 

 small 5-10 h. p. up to a large 40-80 h. p. There 

 is also an Avery Tractor Plow in light and heavy 

 styles to fit every size tractor, and an Avery 

 Grain Saver Thresher to fit every size run, and 

 an Avery Motor Planter and Cultivator for planting 

 and cultivating corn, potatoes, or any row crop. 



Write for the 1918 Avery Catalog 



showing these machines in their actual colors 

 and giving the facts on motor farming.

PAJARO VALLEY 



IS ONE OF THE CLEANEST 



HORTICULTURAL DISTRICTS 



IN THE UNITED STATES 



This condition is due largely to the State 

 and County investigations that have been 

 conducted there by Mr. W. H. Volck. 



Mr. Volck is now Director of Research 

 of the California Spray Chemical Co., and 

 his recommendations are of the highest 

 authority. 



Success in orcharding depends upon 

 the orchard management, and one of the 

 seiious factors of orchard management 

 is spraying. Expert opinion can be 

 readily obtained by writing Mr. Volck. 



ORTHO DRY Arsenate of Lead, 

 in competition with other 

 brands, received the highest 

 award ever conferred on sprays 

 at any exposition. 



ORTHO DRY Arsenate of Lead 

 is a light, finely divided powder, 

 equally suitable for either wet 

 or dry application. The conven- 

 ience and ease of handling should 

 recommend it to any progressive 

 fruit grower; only half the 

 weight to haul; no rubbing or 

 or mixing; just put it in the tank 

 and start the agitator. 



ORTHO DRY Arsenate of Lead 

 has been used in all the fruit 

 growing districts of the Pacific 

 Coast, and has an army of friends 

 who maintain that it is vastly su- 

 perior to any other lead arsenate. 



Successful control of pests 

 depends largely upon the sprays 

 used. You get the best results 

 when you use ORTHO DRY Ar- 

 senate of Lead.
