FRUIT SUCCESS. 



The success of the fruit 

 grower of the present time 

 depends more largely upon 

 the appearance and quality 

 of the fruit itself than any 

 thing else. Gnarled, knot- 

 ty fruit or that which shows 

 the effect of insect work- 

 ings must be sold at a very 

 low price if it finds a mar- 

 ket at all. Uneven and 

 scrawny bunches of grapes 

 which show the effects of 

 phylloxera or other fun- 

 goid diseases lose money 

 to their grower. The sick- 

 ly, insipid or bitter peaches 

 and plums, which indicate 

 yellows, mildew, black 

 knot, etc., find poor sale at 

 any price. Practically the 

 same is true of berries and 

 small fruits It is only the 

 best fruit that escapes the 

 keenest competition and 

 finds a ready market. The 

 man who does not grow 

 the best fruit is not living up to his full privilege. 

 This is an easy accomplishment by the employ- 

 ment of correct methods and that embraces com- 

 plete and thorough spraying of all vines, plants 

 and trees. For this purpose the outfit which is 

 illustrated herewith will be found very complete 

 and efficient. It is the 'Bordeaux" Brass Garden 

 and Spray Pump especially designed for spraying 

 in gardens, greenhouses and among small fruits, 

 and is manufactured by the Goulds Mfg Co., 

 Seneca Falls, N. Y. They make a full line of 

 spraying goods, which are fully described and 

 illustrated in their free book on ' How and When 

 to Spray." Wiite them for a copy at once.
