THE PUMP. 



This is a very important fac- 

 tor in successful spraying. In 

 purchasing a pump one will be 

 guided by his needs ; if it is 

 wanted for a few shrubs and 

 small trees in the yard, for use 

 in a small vegetable garden, or 

 for whitewashing a hen house, 

 a bucket pump such as is shown 

 in Fig. 89 will do, bearing in 

 mind that the bucket or can will 

 have to be carried from place to 

 place and frequently filled. 

 Hence, if a number of potato 

 plants or other plants are to be 

 sprayed in the vegetable garden 

 it might pay one to get a pump 

 which can be fastened to a barrel 

 which could be hauled about on 

 a wagon or stoneboat. Such 

 pumps, with approximate cost in 

 each case, are shown in Figs. 90 

 and 91. 



Do NOT buy a syringe pump, 

 which costs from $1.00 to $2.50 

 or $3.00 and throws only a very 

 coarse spray, and think you have 

 anything of value. A plant 

 syringe is all very well in a con- 

 servatory, but valueless if any 

 number of shrubs and trees are 

 to be treated, and even conserva- 

 tory or house use calls for some- 

 thing which will administer the 

 liquid in a fine spray and with 

 force. 



Do NOT allow your home 

 dealer to sell you a cheap pump
