BETTER FRUIT 



Page 



Endorsed and adopted by the 

 California Fruit Growers' 

 Exchange, the largest body 



of fruit growers in the 

 world. They have ordered 

 one million Bolton Heaters 



Here are the Facts and Figures- 

 no w, which Heater do you want? 



In a competitive test held at Roswell, New Mexico. January 2, 1811 — 

 The Bolton Heater burned 8 hours on 5 quarts of oil; cost, delivered, 20 cents each. 

 The Hamilton Heater burned 4 hours and 25 minutes on 5 quarts of oil; cost at factory 

 45 cents each. 



The Troutman Heater burned 5 hours and 35 minutes on 5 quarts of oil: cost at factory 

 22^ cents each. 



At Winter Park, Florida, January 13. 1911, it took 112 Hamilton Heaters holding three 

 gallons each, to create as much heat as 100 Bolton Heaters holding only five quarts each. 



These figures but tell a story that has become old 

 by its repetition. The Bolton has so decisively defeated 

 all heaters demonstrating against it that there can no 

 longer be any doubt as to the relative merits of each. 

 The Bolton is built on strictly scientific principles and 

 its features can be found on no other heater. That these principles are acknowl- 

 edged correct is shown by our competitors abandoning their first types and of¥erino- 

 heaters as near like the Bolton as they dare. Needless to say, they cannot approxi- 

 mate the results that the Bolton gives.

prevent the introduction and spread of 

 insect pests and plant diseases in the 

 state of Colorado. 



A total list of the insects injurious to 

 fruit in this country, but which do not 

 occur in Colorado, would be too lengthy. 

 I wish to call attention to the following 

 important ones only. 



The scurvy bark louse, the white peach 

 scale, the round-headed apple tree borer, 

 the shot-hole borer, the apple maggot or 

 railroad worm, the plum curculio, the 

 canker worms, the American tent cater- 

 pillar, the forest tent caterpillar, the 

 tussock moths, the brown-tail moth, the 

 Gipsy moth, the elm leaf beetle, the rose 

 chafer, the imported currant saw-fly, the 

 grape-vine fidia, the grape phylloxera. 

 The San Jose scale is known upon a few 

 trees only in a single localitiy, and the 

 oyster-shell scale has been found in one 

 of the Denver parks and in a few 

 instances upon shade trees only. It is 

 not known as an orchard pest. 



The apple curculio has been taken in 

 one locality on the eastern slope only, 

 the peach crown borer is known in three 

 very limited districts only and the black 

 peach aphis has only been known in a 

 very few orchards. 



When to this list of our worst orchard 

 insects that are practically unknown in 

 Colorado we add such diseases as apple 

 scab, bitter rot, peach yellows, little 

 peach and shot-hole fungus as unknown 

 orchard troubles, it can readib' be seen 

 that we live in a sort of fruit growers' 

 paradise, from which we must exclude, 

 so long as possible, the insect pests and
