horse. At thf same time we 

 should like, von to understand that 

 wo only had a trial run — we shall 

 not he doins; this \wrk in earnest 

 until the sprinsj. But meantime 

 we feel no hesitation in advisinji 

 \ on to adoi)t the new I'attcrn. 



We don't think there is much to 

 add to what we have now repoxt- 

 ed, nevertheless IMr. Basey will 

 do himself the pleasure oi callinj;- 

 upon you. 



^\'Uh l;"'nd re<'ards and conTratn- 

 lating you ppon the sim]ile, vet ef- 

 fective device which hns .so decid- 

 Iv improved the orchard harness. — 

 We are, Dear Sirs, 



Yours trulv, 



BAvSIl': & linWTR. 



r.S.— Think that the rang>e of 

 draught is ample ; we had the S 

 hook in the hole next the outside 

 one and don't think we should ever 

 need to go further out (i.e., to the 

 outside hole). 



To the fruitg;rower who is still 

 doing unnecessary damage to his 

 trees we mav he excu.sed for sug- 

 "^estinsr that he would be wi.se to 

 compare the cost 'of a set of 

 " Orchard " harness with, the value 

 of the fruit which, under his pre- 

 sent conditions of working he 

 unavoidably destroys. The " Or- 

 chard "harness has been patented 

 l)v Mes.sTS. Holden & Frost.

12 Dont's for the Orchard ! 



Dbn't forget to scrape. the stems 

 and limbs of all pear, apple, and 

 quince trees, po prevent codlin 

 moth breeding. 



Don't forget it will soon be time 

 to spray ; have a look at the pump 

 on a wet day. 



Don't waste time and sprav on 

 old u.seless trees, spra\i,ng mixture 

 and labor are too dear nowadays. 



^Don't forget to keep the ground 

 well worked in the orchard. 



Don't think that an orchard can 

 grow a cro]) of hav (or other crop) 

 as well as apples ; it won't. 



Don't let the orchard look like a 

 forest, ])nine it and plow it, and 

 keep it tidy. 



Don't forget that that a well 

 kept orchard improves the look of 

 a place. 



Don't forget to danage the stems 

 between October and November 

 for caterpillars. 



Don't forget to get hold of the 

 best recipe for a sprav before it is 

 time to spray. 



Don't miss the first good, dav 

 to, spra\-, after the blossoms fall. 



Don't forget the second sprav 

 about ten davs later, and a 3rd 

 spraving four wee'vs after. 



Don't forget the mixture : Not 

 less than lib. of ar.senate of lead 

 to 20 gallons of water ; and finish 

 jinming first.
