A good spray pump earns big 

 profits and lasts for years. 



THE ECLIPSE 



is a good pump. As prac- 

 tical fruit growers we were 

 using common sprayers in our own 

 orchards — found their defects and 

 invented the Eclipse. Its success 

 forced us to manufacturing on a 

 large scale. You take no chances. 

 We have done all the experiment- 

 ing ! Large fully illustrated Catalog 

 and Treatise on spraying free.

The Companion Window Transparency and Calendar 



for 1913 will be given free to every new subscriber. It is the most exquisite 

 souvenir ever given to Companion readers — a Transparency to hang in the 

 window or in front of a lamp. Through it the light shines richly, as if it were

 foliage, is the circle of the months.
