HUDSON ADMIRAL DUSTER 



CRITIC HUDSON SPRAYER 



This is an excellent, inexpensive hand dust gun, well built, 

 easy to work and efficient. It has a built-in scoop on the large 

 filler cap for easy filling. Short, hght strokes give a uniform cloud 

 of dust, and the long extension tube helps put it where you want 

 it. A swivel nozzle permits dusting in any direction. Extra-large, 

 self-lubricated plunger gives powerful pressure with little effort. 

 The specially constructed air-chamber forces air through the dust 

 to give thorough mixing and aeration. Made of extra-heavy tin- 

 plate, with seamless tube. $2.15, ppd. 



Dusting your Rose plants is a quick and easy way to keep them 

 healthy. Dust can be applied soon after a rain, even before the 

 foliage is fully dry. This prompt action gives the best protection 

 against blackspot, since this disease develops in the presence of 

 moisture and infection can start in about 6 or 8 hours, even though 

 the resulting spots do not become visible until weeks later. Also, 

 dusters do not have to be emptied and cleaned after using. Any 

 left-over dust in the powder chamber can safely remain there 

 all ready for use the next time it's needed. 



NEW HUDSON ROTO-POWER DUSTER 



If you have more than 50 Rose plants, this duster will repay 

 you in service. For a job that has to be done repeatedly, really 

 good equipment is the greatest comfort. Also, it lasts so much 

 longer that it is true economy in the end. This Roto-Power Duster 

 is a Ufetimc investment. With its double nozzles, it does the work 

 in half the time. Its feed regulator gives you positive control over 

 the volume of discharge and permits complete, uniform coverage. 

 This is a great economy in dusting, since a very thin, even coat 

 gives best control of disease and is best for the plants. (A heavy 

 coating is simply wasteful of the material.) Easy filling, easy 

 turning, machine cut gears, permanently lubricated oilite bearings 

 throughout. $22, shipped by express, not prepaid. 



An improved small spray gun with a superior type, "2-spray" 

 nozzle of durable brass. Screw cap and syphon tube also of brass 

 and spray jar of glass, impervious to corrosion. Powerful pump; 

 continuous action spray. Wide mouth, easy to fill and clean. 

 Each sprayer factory tested and guaranteed. $2.15, ppd. 



BOOSTER - COMPRESSION 

 TANK SPRAYER 



A superior tank sprayer with an eflicient 

 pump that builds pressure from the very 

 first stroke. 3J^-gallon, seam-welded, gal- 

 vanized tank with built-in funnel top. This 

 sprayer has a 3-point cam lock that is 

 the safest and most reliable ever developed, 

 we believe. Brass pump and spray tube; 

 solid brass nozzle with 3 disks for any spray 

 from fog to solid stream. 



Spraying has certain advantages over 

 dusting. It is more economical of material, 

 because none blows away, and you can put 

 it just where you want it. This becomes 

 especially valuable if you live in a windy area 

 or if your gardening time is so restricted 

 that the work must be done at a certain 

 time, whether it is calm or not. If you prefer 

 spraying to dusting and have more than a 

 few Roses, _ this is the equipment to buy. 

 It is a lifetime investment in easier garden- 

 ing. $9 sliipped by Express, not prepaid.
