Brown's Hand and Traction Power AUTO-SPRAYS 



For Large Operations 



You may want one of our traction power outfits. Auto-Spray Xo. 23, 

 shown below, is better than any other power sprayer, not excepting 

 any steam, gas or gasoline engine rig. It develops and sustains 

 pressure to spare for the largest operations and is adjustable to orchard, 

 field or vineyard work. No experienced help needed, no expense for 

 power, no breakdowns, light draft for horses. Capacity 150 gallons. 

 Mr. Geo. H. Hopkins, of Ithaca, N. Y., writes: "I have found 

 your Auto Spray No. 23 perfectly satisfactory. It is all you claim for 

 it and it is a paying investment. 



Auto- 

 Spray 

 No. 23 



For Smaller Operations 



The hand power Auto-Spray No. 1, shown at the right, has a capacity 

 of i gallons, and generates power enough for all kinds of work except 

 large trees. It is the ideal sprayer for small fruits, grape vines, 

 berries, potatoes and other garden crops up to five acres. Also for 

 shrubbery and flowers and for disinfecting and whitewash! ng poultry 

 and live stock quarters. Kill dandelions in lawn and other weeds 

 that spoil the appearance of the sward. Kill the garden weeds, too. 

 It is easily and quickly done with the Auto-Spray No. 1, and a solu- 

 tion of Iron Sulphate. Full instructions and directions in our book. 



The Auto-Pop and Non-Cloj* Atomic Nozzles 



Either is a revelation to those who have used the ' 

 ordinary kind. Either one of these nozzles increases the 

 efficiency of any sprayer 50% and saves work and time 

 for the operator. Auto-Spray No. 1 is equipped with the 

 Auto-Pop Nozzle and our power outfits are equipped with 

 the Non-Clog Atomic when desired. The Non-Clog 

 Atomic is the most perfect nozzle ever made by anybody.
