The Nozzle. — A good nozzle is as essential as a good 



pump for proper spraying. Fair 

 spraying may be done with a poor 

 pump if one has a good nozzle, 

 but it is impossible to spray with 

 the best pump and a cheap nozzle. 

 Many a man fails in spraying 

 through buying some cheap nozzle 

 which sprinkles rather than 

 sprays. The Vermorel and Bor- 

 deaux nozzles are the types most 

 ^videly used, and each have their 

 advocates. Each are sold under 

 various trade names, such as the

 chard work two or three 

 nozzles are attached in a 

 cluster, either by a "y," 

 tee, or ring. The lighter 

 the nozzles and connec- 

 tions, the better, so that 

 some firms are now making 

 them of aluminum, for at 

 the end of a ten-foot rod 

 they soon become heavy.
