i'or proper spraying. Fair sprayiug may l)e dorif 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 spray- 

 ing through Iniyiiig some cheap nozzle which sprinkles rather 

 than sprays. The Vermorel and Bordeaux nozzles are the types 

 most widely used, and each have their advocates. Each are sold 

 under various trade names, such as the Demorel and Mistry, 

 similar to the Vermorel, and the Seneca and others the same as 

 the Bordeaux. Usually for orchard work two or three nozzles 

 are attached in a cluster either by a ''y" tee, or ring. The 

 lighter the nozzles and connections 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. 



Recently a new type of nozzle, like that shown in Fig. 18, 

 has come on the market and is rapidly superseding the Vermorel

type for orchard work. This type of nozzle was originated by 

 the Friend ]\Ifg. Co., but is sold by all the leading manufacturers, 

 with various modifications, under different trade names. The 

 large flat chamber in the nozzle gives so strong a rotary motion 

 to the spray that though there is a large aperture, a fine spray is 

 secured. Thus all clogging is avoided. The nozzle is light and 

 does not catch on twigs. The large opening allows the passage 

 of a large amount of liquid, so that the work is done rapidly, one 

 of these nozzles spraying as much liquid as two or three Ver- 

 morels. The Friend type was designed to iLse with a power 

 sprayer, but will give good results with a barrel sprayer where 

 a pressure of 85 pounds is maintained. Ordinarily one of these 

 nozzles will be sufficient with a barrel i)ump. and two to a rod 

 with power.
