A Great Improvement on the Whitman 



and Smith Pumps we have 



been Selling. 



Till' many insect, euomica to fruit and 

 fdliiiKe iinve compelled !ill iiilercsled to 

 study foi' the best means to destroy 

 thi'se ix'Sts. The most ell'ective means 

 yet d(!vised is to administer poison in 

 solution, put upon tlic tree in the form 

 a si)iay, at justtlie rif>lit time. Tlie sprnying of fruit 

 and foliMfi'e trees hiis oiiened a lartre demand for spraying 

 outfits of various kinds, and the number of kiiids on th(! 

 m;irlu't is jrcttiiif:- to be legion. We have been on the look- 

 out for tlic l)est cheap hand-pumps, and we believe we have 

 found tlicni in the two following, bntliof which have come 

 out since Marcli 1st— so recent that we are rather late for 

 this ^e;i-;on in t)ringing them to yo\ir notice now. 



The tirst, designed to take the place of the Whitman 

 Pump in our trade, is the 



Myers Bucket Brass Spray Pump. 



Tt is constructed of material that is not attected by the 

 iioisonnus arsenites used in the different formulas for 

 spraying fruit-trees, vines, and shrubbery- The cylinder 

 and iill the working parts are brass; has rubber ball valves 

 and is e(iuipped with the combination spray nozzle, and will 

 throw a spray as fine as mist. It is so fine that it floats up 

 like a chnid. By this feature the same amount of liquid 

 will go at least four times as far, and does more effective 

 work than with a perforated spray nozzle. The pump dif- 

 fers in construction from tlie old-line pumps of this cla.ss. 

 and is arraiiKcd so that the lieavv work isdone on the down 

 stroke of the plunger and nothing on the up. The effect of 

 this operation, wliile pumping, is to hold the pump down, 

 and it is not necessary to use a foot-Test or m any way 

 ste.idv the pump while in operation, except by means of ^' 



Bv doing the pumping on the down stroke of the piston, and the fact that it is not necessary to steady 

 the"pump with any foot-rest, makes it verv ciisv to operate, and gives it extraordinary power. It is pro- 

 vided with a large'air-chamber, and has a valve at the bottom between the cylinder and the air-cliamber, 

 whereby the pressure is held uniformly in the dr-<liamber and on the hose, so that.the nozzle tnrows a 



constant continuous, even spray all the time, and is not at- 

 fccted liy the movements of the plunger, and tlie operator is 

 enabled "to keep a constant pressure on the nozzle of from .51) 

 to 100 llis with very ordinary e.\erti(m. It will throw a sohd 

 stream ,50 feet, and "is of unusual value for washing windows, 

 etc. For spraying it is arranged so it discharges a tine jet in 

 the bottom of the bucket, to keep the solution thoroughly 

 mixed and agitated— a feature peculiar to tins pump. 



We show the pump in operation, and a larger view along- 

 side. By simply unscrewing the spray nozzle the pump is 

 ready to throw a stream which is very, effective in wasliing 

 buggies, windows, putting (mt fires, or ariostnig- swarins of 

 bees The pump cnniplcte, with four feet of X-inch rubber hose and noz- 

 zle 'packed for shipment, weighs 7 lbs., and our price is only fo.OO. Jt can 

 l)e taken apart, and sent in two packages by mail, where you haven t Msy 

 access to express office, for $1.30 extra. A pamphlet, giving fnll instruc- 

 tions how and when to spr.ay, goes with each pump, or mailed on 

 application. We can furnish extra combination spra> nozzles with at^ 

 tachment so it can be put on a common J^-inch hose connection, at bU cts. 

 each Bv mail 75c. We are also prepared to furnish Myers Barrel spray- 

 ing outtit, without the barrel, at $7.50, shipped direct from Ashland, Ohio. 



Common-Sense Spray Pump. 



Special 



There are a number of cheap tin pumps on the market ; but, so far as we 



have examined, this is ahead of them all. The adjoining cut shows its 



construction and manner of working. The piston, or plunger, is worked 



with a lever handle, giving greater force for tlie sami; i)ower exerted. The 



|.liinger-tube is shorter, and larger in diameter, than the ordinary pump. 



If tlie water comes over the top it spills right into the i)ail again. It has 



an air-ihainljer, with valve, giving a continuous stream or spray. It has a 



short rubber host; to give direction to the stream or spray, witliout moving 



the pump It has also an adjustable nozzle for stream or spray. In all 



,^^ ^ these points we regard it superior to the Smith pump we liave been selhng, 



-3^?*== and we have adopted this pnmp in place of the Smith, and will sell at the 



^ same prices as given in our price list, i)age 13. Retail price, $1.00 each. 



prices on either of the above pumps in quantities, to those who buy to sellagain.
