This Model C. Spramotor was 

 iwardod four Gold Medals, two at 

 National Horticultural Congress, 

 one at Dominion Exhibition, St. 

 John, and one at Provincial Exhibi- 

 tion, Halifax. N.8., 1909-1910. "There 

 are reasons." 



Mr. J. 0. Harris, of IngersoII, who 

 is using 4 Power Spramotors for 

 eight years, writes about the latest 

 Model 0. 



"I have used your Model 0. Spra- 

 motor, 1910 Gasoline Power Sprayer 

 almost every hour of fine weather 

 during the past four weeks, with 

 the exception of four days. 



"We have had no break-downs, 

 practically no delays. It works per- 

 fectly, and 80 far has given the very 

 best satisfaction in use in every 

 way. It is all you claim it to be." 



We have been manufacturing 

 Spramotors for 15 years for spray- 

 ing purposes only. "That is the rea- 

 son." Particulars free.

SPRAY FOR PROFITS 



Big, sound, juicy apples are the only ones that bring big profits, 



VANCO LIME SULPHUR SOLUTION 



ineans sound fruit that brings the top price. "Vanco" destroys Scale, Scab, 

 Aphis, Mildew. "Vanco" keeps the trees clean and the buds healthy. 

 You couldn't possibly get a greater amount of Sulphur In Solution than you get 

 in the Vanco barrel. It is better In every way than home made mixtures. 



Because it is uniform in strengtli and quality 



Specific gravity is plainly stencilled on every barrel^ 



'Vanco" Lime Sulphur and Arsenate 



of Lead — strongest when 



you eet them and go 



furthest when using.

of appearance and if Ontario orchardists 

 are Ko'ng to capture and retain a portion 

 of this high class box trade, decidedly more 

 scientific care of orchards and more careful 

 selection of fruit in packing is essential. 

 I am satisfied that an increased quantity 

 of boxed Ontario apples can be absorbed 

 here, and it lies with the Ontario packers 

 to cater for the Scotch consumer's ey« as 

 well as his palate. The popularity of the 

 King, Spy and Baldwin on this market is 

 admitted on all hands and, granting the 

 excellence of flavor in those varieties, buy- 

 ers are influenced by uniformity of size, 

 evenness of color and cleanness of skin. The 

 mcst popular size of Oregon Newton Pip- 

 pins hero is from 96 to 112 apples per 40 

 pound case, the latter size preferred. 



BRITISH COLUMBW FRUIT 



"There were direct shipments of 1,G53 

 boxes of apples this season from British 

 Columbia. These arrived in good condi- 

 tion and participated in the high prices 

 ruling. One parcel from Kelowna district, 

 composed of Jonathan, Spitz, Newton Pip- 

 pin, Mcintosh Red, and Grimes Grolden, 

 was of excellent quality and condition. 



PBAR8 



"The importations of Canadian pears to 

 Glasgow indicate a growing demand, as 

 7,885 cases and half cases and 69 barrels 

 were imported this year as compared with 

 about 5,000 packages last year. Unless in 

 seasons of very plentiful crops in France 

 and southern England (whence a large pro- 

 portion of the Glasgow supply comes) in- 

 creased quantities of Dears can be absorbec 

 from Canada. Of the total receipts all, 

 with the exception of 225 packages, were 

 carred in refrigerator round 35 to 38 de- 

 grees, and all arrived in good condition, 

 except a few barrels of Anjou, which were 

 decaying. 



"The half case package is the favorite 

 package for all varieties except Keiffers, 

 which may safely be packed in the 40 pound 

 box or even in barrels. Very large quanti- 

 ties of Keiffers are marketed here from tiiu 

 United States, the bulk of which are sold 

 to north and north-east coast of England 

 buyers who attend the Glasgow market; 

 and indications point to an increased de- 

 mand for pears, both of Keiffer and more 

 choice varieties, in coming seasons."
