 practically a new piano at nearly half the

Selecting a Spray Pump 



When selecting a pump, one should not have 

 in view the cheapest one that will do good 

 work. Durability, capacity, ease of working, 

 ease with which the parts may be gotten at 

 and repaired or replaced, are other essentials 

 that should be thought of. 



A good pump for all-around work is the 

 "Admiral." Its size is such that it can be 

 used with equal results for orchard or field 

 spraying, also for other purposes about the 

 farm when necessary. It is of sufficient capa- 

 city to supply four leads of hose or two leads, 

 each with two, three or four nozzles. For 

 orchards not large enough to warrant the pur- 

 , chase of a power outfit, a pump of this capacity 

 will be found very serviceable, as it is huilt 

 for continuous work and high pressure. The 

 cylinder lining is made of heavy seamless brass 

 tubing, and is firmly held in the cylinder by 

 threaded connections. This manner of secur- 

 ing the lining in the cylinder makes it possible 

 to remove it when worn out and replace with 

 a new one. 



The valves are made of brass. They are so 

 situated that each one can be readily reached 

 by removing the valve covers. To do this it 

 is only necessary to use a wrench, iron rod or 

 stout stick. The piston rod is made of brass 

 and outside guided, thus making it impos- 

 sible to get any other than a perfectly straight 

 thrust through the stuffing box. Many feat- 

 ures that will be found valuable to the pros- 

 pective buyer are to be found in this pump. 

 Complete circulars describing the Admiral ■ 

 Spray Pumper will be supplied by the Goulds 

 Manufacturing Co. of Seneca Falls, N.Y. 



The Canadian Horticulturist is invaluable 

 to people interested in the fruit industry. — 

 C. H. Deakin, Manchester, England. 



The Niagara Pensinsula Fruit Growers' 

 A,ssociation will hold a series of meetings early 

 this month. The first meeting will be held in 

 Grimsby on March 4, followed by others at 

 St. Catharines on the 5th and fith. Mr. T. H. 

 Hale, of Georgia and Connecticut, the "Peach 

 King," and Mr. W. W. Farnsworth, secretary 

 Ohio State Horticultural Society, have been 

 secured as speakers. 



Prince Ed-ward Island 



Rev. Father Burke, Alberton 



There is no snow here this winter to break 

 down anything in the shape cf trees, and unless 

 these frequtnt thaws with rising temperature 

 should conspire to hurt sap circulation too 

 early there should be a good encugh prospect 

 of fruit in cur orchards under usual ct nditions 

 at blossomtide. We really require a good crop 

 of fruit to put grcwers in proper fettle fcr their 

 work. Lean years discourage tremendously. 



There is more talk of wretchedly picked fruit 

 this year than ever. This province has been 

 the dumping grcund for much cf it — from 

 Ontario and frtm Nova fccotia. I saw a barrel 

 of No. 1 fcpy (Ontario), a day or two ago, which 

 really surpassed in rascality anything 1 had ever 

 previously witnessed, end that is saying a good 

 deal. That anyone cculd find courage encugh 

 to put up such a job on his fellow-man, was a 

 marvel to me. But he should and must be 

 found out and punished. 



The plan fcr cocpcration in buying here is 

 now launched so far as nursery stcck is con- 

 cerned. The Fruit Growers' Associati<n is 

 sending cut circulars to intending planters, 

 guaranteeing the stock and the price and 

 promising to have it delivered in pre per con- 

 dition. There should be considerable planting. 



Inspector Bovyer is moving about examining 

 the apple impcrts cf the province, ?nd he will 

 have a tale to tell shortly which will not edify 

 anybody too much as to the honesty of apple 

 packers. 



A Fair Spraying Propo.sition.' — Test is the 

 strongest argument. When a reputable firm 

 like the Hurst Mfg. Co., of Canton, Ohio, offer 

 to send a choice of three different sprayers with 

 no money in advance, it means that there is 

 value and honesty in the proposition. You 

 can try one of their sprayers for 10 days, and 

 then if you buy you can pay the cash, or they 

 will wait until ycu sell yt ur crop. All their 

 sprayers are protected by a five-year guarantee. 

 There are no strings to this offer. Their new- 

 free catalog will be sent to every applicant. 

 It describes their spraying machines, and ex- 

 plains how one can get a Hurst Sprayer free. 

 It contains their agreement by which any 

 farmer or fruit grower can try their machines 

 "without sending one cent."
