TYPES OF FLOBISTS' SPRAYERS. 



Bucket Pump and Knapsack. 



Due to the arrangement of benches 

 in the greenhouse, spray pumps must 

 necessarily be small, easily handled and 

 not too cumbersome. In selecting one 

 of these pumps, care should be taken to 

 purchase only machines which are dur- 

 able and simple, and which have an air 

 chamber large enough to insure a 

 steady spray. The types of pumps suit- 

 able for greenhouse spraying are briefly 

 mentioned below: 



The bucket pump is the simplest one 

 made and can be handled easily by one 

 man. The fact that it may be used in 

 any ordinary bucket gives it an advan- 

 tage over some other outfits. By means 

 of a foot rest, which extends over the 

 side of the bucket, the pump can be 

 held firmly. This type of pump will 

 do well where a small, convenient pump 

 is needed. 



The knapsack sprayer is a portable 

 type of bucket pump and consists of a 

 tank, with straps so attached that it 

 can be carried on the back, like a knap- 

 sack. The handle is adjusted so that 

 it can be operated in front of the 

 carrier. This, also, is a one-man 

 sprayer, and, although rather tedious to 

 operate, is convenient for spraying 

 plants on the bench. 



Compressed Air Sprayers. 



In the compressed air sprayer the 

 tank is partly filled with the liquid, 

 closed, and air pumped in. This in- 

 creases the pressure on the liquid, 

 which is forced out through a nozzle 

 in the form of a fine spray. Some types 

 of these pumps are now made which 

 will empty the reservoir with one 

 charge, and so can be carried like a 

 knapsack sprayer. Usually these spray- 

 ers are inconvenient and heavy to carry. 



The Wheel sprayer consists of a tank 

 and pump fitted into a tubular iron 

 frame with a wheel, so as to be easily 

 moved about like a wheelbarrow. The 

 pump proper has a good-sized air cham- 

 ber and a good mixer. This is the most 

 convenient sprayer for greenhouse pur- 

 poses where much spraying is done. It 

 is narrow enough to be wheeled be- 

 tween the benches, is convenient to use 

 and gives a good pressure,

Minneapolis, Minn. — C. N. Ruedlinger, 

 secretary of the Minneapolis Florists' 

 Club, is the author of a number of arti- 

 cles on plant and tree planting appear- 

 ing in the Daily News. 



Middle Village, N. Y.— Frederick 

 Bauer is the complainant in a suit 

 against a New York attorney to recover 

 $18,000, which he alleges he gave the 

 attorney with instructions to purchase 

 railroad bonds. As the lawyer failed 

 to buy the bonds and made no ac- 

 counting whatever, Mr. Bauer had him 

 arrested on a charge of grand larceny. 



Kankakee, lU. — The organization and 

 equipment of the Schafer Floral Co., 

 with recent changes, is complete and 

 capable of taking care of the steadily 

 increasing business. Charles Schafer is 

 president of the corporation, A. M. 

 Schafer is treasurer and C. E. Schafer 

 secretary. The retail store at 272 East 

 Court street has proved profitable from 

 the start and the greenhouse range op- 

 posite Mound Grove cemetery is in 

 first-class condition.

VENTILATION 



YOU know what a 

 bother it is to have 

 the ventilation arms 

 on the sidewalks, stick- 

 ing way out into them. 

 To run up against 

 one of them with your 

 arm, when in a hurry^ 

 certainly makes a man 

 feel like swearing. If 

 that's the only thing 

 that makes you swear, 

 you can promptly 

 swear off swearing, 

 because we have a spe- 

 cial Jack Knife Vent 

 Arm that folds up out 



Tell-tale, that tells you 

 exact distance ridge 

 sash is open. 



of the way almost like 

 the blade of a knife. 



The illustration at 

 the left is the swear-at 

 kind. The right-hand 

 one, the no-swear arms . 

 We'll put them on your 

 next house, or sell them 

 to you separately. 



For further facts 

 about our ventilation 

 apparatus, see pages 

 94 to 99 in our Supply 

 Book. 



You know we go any- 

 where for business, or 

 to talk business.
