A Good Spraying Nozzle 



Kxperionce has fully demonstrated that a 

 spray nozzle to-day, in order to beet meet the 

 Htrong. peculiar requirements of the up-to-date 

 fruit grower, must possess the following prin- 

 ciples : 



It must bo of sufficient capacity in order to 

 do away entirely with the usual cluster of fine 

 nozzles. Its aperture and orifice must be suf- 

 rtciently large to permit the pa-isage of sedi- 

 ment. It must be free from sensitive, internal, 

 movable parts that operate nicely when new, 

 but Slick when corroded. It must have no 

 stems, horns or hooks to catch in the limbs; 

 must not drip or drizzle. It must be so con- 

 structed as to insure long life, especially to 

 prevent the boring effect by the heavy solution 

 under pressure into the face of the body of 

 I he nozzle. It must produce the so much 

 det'ired fine spray. 



Many of the leading manufacturers are en- 

 fleavoring to produce such a nozzle. Fruit 

 (,'rowers should he cautious ns to what they 

 buy. The manufacturer should do the experi- 

 mental work. We manufacture only a nozzle 

 which istheoriginnlof this type. It is covered 

 iiy several strong patents with others pending. 

 It is the result of years of experimental work, 

 costing thousands of dollars to perfect it. 

 Thousandiiof the one nicturcd were used last 

 season with best results. Its manuf.icturers 

 and holders of the patent" "Are Reliable." 



Fruit growers may obtain this nozzle, post- 

 paid, by remitting Jl.io to The "Friend" Mfg. 

 Co., fSasport, N. Y.. nianufacimers of complete 

 bT.nd and power spraying outfits. Their situ- 

 iitlon as it is in the heart of the .Niagara fruit 

 district : pioneers in the art as they are, build- 

 ing every part of their machines as they do, 

 makes it possible for them togivc fruitgiowers 

 irioro for their money than any other manufac- 

 turers They have a new ball shut-off which 

 keeps t he hands dry, price $2 20 postpaid. Good 

 inducements arc offered to live Agents. Their 

 new illustrated catalogue Is free. 



Mention The Canadian Horticulturist wlien writing 



Shippers' Association 



Letters respecting the organization of the 

 Ontario Apple Shippers' Associatiun and its 

 purpose were sent by The Canadian Horti- 

 CU1,TURIST to members of the executive. The 

 following replies have been received: 



Mr. E. D. Smith, M.P., Winona: "This Asso- 

 ciation will have my hearty cooperation. I 

 thoroughly believe in associations of this kind 

 and sincerely trust that we may be able to 

 remedy many of the defects and short com- 

 ings in the apple shipping business. There is 

 a great deal to be done and it can only be done 

 by the cooperation of all the shippers." 



Mc William and Everist, Toronto: "The as- 

 sociation was formed for the purpose of trying 

 to secure better transportation facilities both 

 by railway and steamship lines. So far noth- 

 ing definite has been done outside of dis- 

 cussing the best methods to take to secure 

 these facilities." 



Mr. M. S. Schell, Woodstock: "That the rail- 

 roads have lamentably failed in giving any- 

 thing like an adequate service in supplying 

 cars and handling the same for the apple busi- 

 ness is beyond question, and united action by 

 shippers should compel a better recognition." 

 Mr. J. G. Anderson, Lucknow: "While it was 

 doubtless the transportation question which 

 called the association into existence, yet there 

 are many other matters affecting the apple 

 trade, which will no doubt receive careful at- 

 tention. It is a lamentable fact that in many 

 districts of the province, the proper care of 

 apple orchards has been sadly neglected, and 

 it will be the purpose of the association to 

 promote a movement amongst apple growers 

 in these districts to pay more attention to the 

 cultivation, pruning, spraying and fertilization 

 of their orchards. Then, again, the Fruit 

 Marks Act, which has admittedly done some 

 good, has some features which, in my opinion, 

 are very bad, and it will be for the association 

 to make such representations to the govern- 

 ment as will secure the elimination of these 

 objectionable features. These and many other 

 matters affecting the apple trade present a 

 fine field for useful work, and I look for good 

 results on account of the formation of the 

 Ontario Apple Shippers' Association." 



The Popular Piano-Player. — The player-piano 

 has stirred up any amount of enthusiasm 

 in musical circles, if the many sales being made 

 by Heintzman & Co., Limited, 115-117 King St. 

 West, Toronto, are to be taken as a criterion. 

 This firm have a very wide selection of player- 

 pianos at terms of payment to suit almost any 

 purchaser; 



Altogether I regard The Canadian Horti- 

 CITLTURIST as Very valuable to anyone interested 

 in gardening. — T. H. Reddit, Principal High 

 School, Barrie, Ont.
