CANADIAN HORTICULTURIST 



It Pays to Spray 



Not only for protection from bugs and 

 blight but to increase the yield. Practical 

 farmers and experiment stations have 

 clearly proven that the yield is increased 

 enough with every spraying to pay for solu- 

 tions, time and labor many times over.

Traction Sprayers 



Have capacity, power and adjust- 

 ment to suit every need and pumps 

 with tlie least slippage of any in use 

 on any sprayer. 



They are made with single or 

 double acting pumps, 55 or 100 

 gallon wood tanks, wood or steel 

 wheels regular or wide spray bars, 

 combination pole and thills, or 

 either separate. 



There are special spray bars for 

 many different crops, potatoes, to- 

 matoes, pickles, cantaloupe, grain, 

 cotton, tobacco, etc. This list in- 

 cludes a new one with drop nozzles 

 that cover the underside of the 



\ 



leaves as well as the top. A six-row 

 bar enables potato growers to cover 

 large acreages thoroughly and in less 

 time. 



An orchard attachment increases 

 the value of these machines to the 

 man_who also owns an orchard.
