STATE POMOLOGICAL SOCIETY. 



With most pumps only five or six feet of discbarge pipe are sent. 

 It is advisable in all cases to have at least ten feet of hose, that the 

 top of the tree may be easily reached. This is of special importance 

 in using Paris green, as with the short discharge pipe, there is 

 danger of poisoning from contact with the spraj*. 



Figure 4 represents the "Perfection" 

 outfit. This is the pump we have us^d 

 in most of our field work. The pump 

 is supplied with about ten feet of hose, 

 and also has a second discharge pipe 

 returning to the bottom of the barrel, 

 thus keeping the mixture agitated. 

 The cost of the pump with bi'ass 

 cylinder and plunger is $11 .50. It is 

 manufactured by the Field Force 

 Pump Co., Lockport, N. Y Other 

 pumps of a similar style may be 

 obtained of the Gould Manufacturing 

 Co.. Seneca Falls, N. Y., also of Rum- 

 sey & Co., of the same place. 



In large orchards it is no small task 

 to work the pump be hand antl there is 

 a demand on the part of owners of such 

 orchards for a labor-saving device. 

 ^ To meet this demand, several styles of 

 ipumps with automatic gearing, have 

 been constructed. One of these, the 

 "Victor," made by the same company 

 as the "Perfection" outfit is shown in 

 figure 5.
