SPRAYING FLUIDS. 



Next to the question of fertilizers 

 no more vital problem confronts the 

 cultivator today than that of fungi- 

 cides and insecticides. Spraying has 

 within a short space of time come to 

 be universally recognized as an es- 

 sential of successful horticulture and 

 the natural result of the sudden de- 

 mand has been the exploiting of a 

 vast number of preparations, each 

 claiming pre-eminence. For some 

 time past we have heard much of the 

 preparations known as V 1, V 2 and 

 V 3 Spray Fluids. These fluids are 

 prepared by the well-known Sheep 

 Dip house, Wm. Cooper & Nephews 

 of Chicago, who have spent consider- 

 able time and research in perfecting 

 them and now offer them on their 

 merits, through our advertising col- 

 umns. The claims made by the man- 

 ufacturers are very strong and they 

 express full confidence in the results 

 if their preparations are given a trial. 

 They have just issued a booklet con- 

 taining testimonials and other perti- 

 nent matter, which is free for the 

 asking.
