"Shall I Buy a 



SPRAMOTOR 



or an ordinary spraying outfit? 



That's the question — 



Your decision should be determined by what 

 you expect the machine to do and how long 

 you expect it to do it 



If — you want a durable hand machine for the 

 purpose of destroying weeds, spraying orchards, 

 potatoes and row crops — one that you can also 

 paint with — you want a 



Hand Spramotor 



If you want a durable H. P. machine to do all 

 these things besides spraying grain and doing 

 the white-washing you want a 



H. P. Spramotor 



If you want a durable gasoline machine to do 

 all these things in a bigger way but mainly for 

 orchard work and white-washing you want the 



Model "C" Spramotor 



The SPRAMOTOR in every class, has demon- 

 strated its superiority to all other spraying 

 outfits and there's one built specifically for your 

 needs. 



Prices range from $6.00 to $350.00.

This Tree

 a weak crotch. Such] 

 a disaster COULD 

 HAVE BEEN pre-. 

 ventedbyaDAVEY* 

 TREE EXPERT. 



More than two-thirds of the trees in America have weak crotches, and are 

 liable to be split apart by the first high wind. Such trees are structurally 

 weak — They are bound to split apart sooner or later. It may be five or ten 

 years, or it might be only five or ten days. A weak crotch can seldom be 

 detected by the untrained eye. The danger signals are always there. DAVEY 

 EXPERTS are trained to detect them and prevent disastrous splitting. We will 

 gladly have one of our experts examine your trees without charge, and report 

 on their exact condition. It costs ten times as much to save a tree after split- 

 ting apart as it would to have secured that tree against splitting. Splitting 

 branches are a source of danger to other trees as well as to buildings. You 

 may think that your trees are sound — Maybe they are, but guesswork is un- 

 necessary. Learn the truth through a DAVEY EXPERT without cost or 

 obligation. There is a DAVEY EXPERT in your vicinity. Splitting crotches 

 are but one of the ailments of trees. Dead limbs are unsanitary, unsightly and 

 unsafe, and a constant menace to life. Cavities, if not properly treated, con- 

 tinue to decay and destroy the tree. Some trees require more nourishment — 

 Some require water — Some must be sprayed to destroy insects, or treated for 

 diseases— Some few require no attention at all. If your trees need no treat- 

 ment, you want to know it; if they do need treatment, you ought to know it.

Water-Ballast "Any weight" Roller 



Don't spoil your lawn with a cumbersome fixed- weight roller that pulls like a load of lead and 

 is always too heavy or too light for the conditions. A soft spring lawn demands a very 

 light roller — a dry lawn or a tennis court a heavier one. Remember — less money buys 

 a really perfect machine — an 



^ " AnyweigRt " — up to 1 /S ton

Runs easily under heaviest ballast — a hollow, hardened steel, 

 rust-proof drum — filled or emptied in a jiffy — will last a life- 

 time. Made in one or two sections — drums boiler-rivetted or 

 acetylene-welded — various si?es.
