SPRAMOTOR 

 SAVES TREES 



Two carloads of the Traction 

 Spramators 'wete shipped to Water- 

 down and Burlington last year. 



The farmers there prefer them 

 to all others for general purposes. 



They are well adapted to spray- 

 ing fruit trees of any size, and by 

 a simple change of spray pipes, 

 are equally suitable for vineyards, 

 row crops and weed destruction. 



The greatest care is taken in their manufacture, as they are most difficult machines to manufacture. 



They have all the features of the larpe power machines, and in addition, have a Nozzle 

 Protector, Patented Nozzle Adjuster, 12 gal. Air Tank and a motor of the largest capacity: yet 

 owing to the control, one nozzle can be used as effectively as 12 (the limit) and yet maintain an 

 equal pressure of from 80 to 200 lbs., or any pressure you desire. 



All of the highest grade throughout. 



Everything in its construction made in the Spramotor Factory.

 H«re easy winners. This extra color is at- 

 tributed to the great amount of sun, which 

 this province enjoys. This ruddy hue, the 

 "^lory of these fruits, has gained for the 

 Fameuse much renown, and has sold many 

 other apples in England as "Made in Can-

New Brunswick Apple Show 



New Brun.swick is rapidly coming to the 

 front as an apple growing province, and 

 will have to be reckoned with in the near 

 future a.s a competitor in supplving apples 

 of good color and high quality. The impres- 

 .sion gained, from a knowledge of her i)eople, 

 and the excellent apple show held recently 

 in St. John, N.B.. is that the people of that 

 province are thoroughly alive to the jkjs- 

 sibilities of expansion in apple production, 

 and are setting before themselves squarely 

 the problem of growing and marketing fruit 

 in the mo.st up-to-date manner, and in 

 sufficient quantity, to make this an industry 

 of no small importance to the province. 



The New Brunswick Government has 

 given a great impetus to apple growing 

 through making possible such fruit exhibits. 

 thus inspiring confidence in her people as to 

 the possibilities of the province in this 

 direction. New Brunswick has been for- 

 tunate in securing a capable horticulturist 

 to assist in development along right lines. 

 Mr. A. G. Turney, Provincial Horticultur- 

 i.st, is clear in his belief that New Brunswick 

 should produce fruit of the best and high- 

 est quality and supplv it to the consumer in 

 the box package. That such fruit can be 

 nroduced was amply proven, and that the 

 box is the package best suited for market- 

 ing this fruit wa.s demon.strated by the ex- 

 cellent exhibit of five hundred boxes in one 

 display made bv the New Brunswick Gov- 

 ernment at this apple show. These apples 

 were co]lecte<l from the x'^incipal apple- 

 growing sections of the province, and were 

 well grown and weH packed. 



To bring clearly before the people in a 

 concrete way that good culture is at the 

 very foundation of success in apple growing, 

 demonstration orch.ird work is being car- 

 ried on in leading fruit sections of the pro- 

 vince. The exhibit from these orchard.^ 

 accompanied by photographs of the work 

 was one of the attractive features. In ad- 

 dition to the box fruit exhibits already men- 

 tioned by Oarleton Countv Fruit Growers' 

 As.sociation made a fine exhibit. 



The entries in the box class brought to- 

 gether a great number of exhibits showing 

 the ability of growers in the province to 

 put up fruit in this package in the best 

 way. The diagonal pack was adopted prin- 

 cipally, and a good tight pack was shown 

 with few exceptions. 



The plate display occupied six tables 

 throughout the building, and in it was much 

 clo.se competition. It is evident from this 

 exhibit that the growers understand well 

 what constitutes perfect specimens of a 

 variety. 



The collection classes were well filled, and 

 from them one is able to select with reason- 

 able certainty those sorts best suited to the 

 province. The varieties Oldenburg, 



Wealthy, Mcintosh, Fameuse, Bethel. Dud- 

 ley, Wolf River, King, Golden Russet and 

 Bellflowers, were most in evidence. The box 

 packs were made up of the Dudley, Mcin- 

 tosh. Fameuse, Wolf River, Wealthy, King 

 and Bethel principally.
