III, Spraying Apparatus. 



In the report of the Experiment Station for 1889, may be found 

 figures and descriptions of several desirable force pumps and 

 spraying nozzles. In addition to those there enumerated, we 

 have used several others with which we are well pleased. 



Figure 4 represents the " Perfec- 

 tion" outfit. This is the pump we 

 have used in most of our field work. 

 The pump is supplied with about ten 

 feet of hose, and also has a second 

 discharge pipe returning to the bot- 

 tom of the barrel, thus keeping the 

 mixture agitated. The cost of the 

 pump with brass cylinder and 

 plunger is $11.50. It is manufac- 

 tured by the Field Force Pump Co., 

 Lock port, N. Y. Other pumps of a 

 similar style may be obtained of the 

 Gould Manufacturing Co., Seneca 

 Falls, N. Y., also of Rumsey & Co., 

 of the same place. 



In large orchards it is no small 

 task to work the pump by hand and 

 there is a demand on the part of 

 owners of such orchards for a labor- 

 I saving device. To meet this demand, 

 several styles of pumps with auto- 

 matic gearing, have been constructed. 

 "Perfection" s'p ray in g Outfit. One of these, the " Victor," made by 

 ,he same company as the "Perfection" outfit, is shown in figure 5.
