Hardies Have Kept Pace 

 With Spraying Needs 



Twenty years ago little was required of a sprayer. 

 Orchardists had not yet realized the necessity for a 

 persistent fight against the enemies of fruit growing. 



To-day, the many d5ang fruit trees and the large 

 profits earned from well cared for orchards, have 

 aroused the owners to the necessity for high-pressure 

 spraying. This necessity and the high cost of labor 

 have developed a demand for spraying equipment of 

 sturdy construction, high capacity, and low cost. 



The Hardie Manufacturing Company has kept 

 pace with this development. As a result, its power 

 sprayers are at the highest point of efficiency. They 

 are light in weight, with pressed steel frames. They 

 have light-running engines and pumps. They have 



the Peerless regulator that keeps the pressure uniform 

 at all times, and relieves the pressure from the pumps 

 when the nozzles are closed. They are mounted on 

 underslung trucks to give them the low centre of 

 gravity necessary for safe operation in hillside 

 orchards. 



Hardie hand pumps are sturdily made, and oper- 

 ate at the lowest upkeep cost. Complete figures for 

 20,000 pumps over a period of twenty years show 

 that the repair cost has been less than 5 cents per 

 pump per year. 



Hardies are durable and run at small cost. They 

 cut your spraying costs, but do your spraying rapidly 

 and thoroughly. 



Hardies are made in twenty styles and 

 sizes, both power and hand, to fit 

 every orchard need. Get illustrated
