and volume of these products than to see them in 

 this manner. 



Many new and novel features will be introduced 

 in the displays. For example, the state commis- 

 sioner of horticvilture has arranged to prepare an 

 exhibit of citrus trees in tubs, upon which the 

 beneficial insects . that are bred at the State 

 Insectary will be placed at work. These insects 

 will be confined to the special tree to which they 

 belong by glass "cages." 



The United States Plant Introductory Garden 

 at Chico, the only thing of its kind in America, 

 will exhibit a novel exhibit of tree plant life, 

 which will interest the Eastern visitors. 



Luther Burbank, the world's greatest horticul- 

 turist, will exhibit some of his wonderful creations. 



Professor McAdie, in charge of the Pacific Coast 

 department of the United States Weatlier Bureau, 

 will install and operate a miniature weather bureau, 

 showing the method of advising the orchardists of 

 approaching climatic dangers. 



In the flower department the exhibit of Camel- 

 lias, Sacramento's official flower, which blooms at 

 that season of the year, is bound to attract atten- 

 tion of the visitors from the frozen East. — Con-

 Editor Better Fruit: 



Your September issue is just before us, and as 

 usual, it is strictly up-to-date. The special pack- 

 ing information is certainly worth far more than 

 the cost of a year's subscription. No fruit grower 

 can scan this issue without being made a far better 

 fruit grower by so doing. Yours very truly, 



Washington Nursery Company.

 Editor Better Fruit: 



I wish to take this opportunity to say that 

 your magazine is doing more to advertise the West

 and is attracting the attention of a higher class 

 of people to fruit culture. 



I consider your wonderful magazine a necessity 

 to the home of the fruit grower, and look for- 

 ward for every issue. — Very respectfully, Edw. F. 

 Morgan, Seattle.

THE BECK POWER SPRAYER 



Some reasons why you should use a 



BECK POWER SPRAYER 



First — The wide range of capa- 

 city possible to secure from the 

 "BECK" line. Our smallest out- 

 fit, No. 200, is our Duplex pump 

 and 3-h.p. engine, and has a 

 capacity of ~ gallons of solution 

 per minute. Our Duplex outfit 

 No. 203 has a capacity of 9 gal- 

 lons per minute and will supply 

 six large round angle nozzles. 

 No. 300, our Triplex outfit, will 

 supply eight angle nozzles 

 with a capacity of 12 gallons 

 perminute. The largest power 

 outfit manufactured is our 

 Triplex No. 304, with a capa- 

 city of 15 gallons per minute. This machine will supply four open bordeaux nozzles at 300 pounds pressure. 



Second — We are the first firm to manufacture a line of pumps that will maintain an actual working pressure of 300 

 pounds. You know that this means more rapid work, and an economy of spray solution that can be obtained in no 

 other way. No danger of breaking the pump, for it is tested to withstand a pressure of 500 pounds before it leaves the 

 factory. The balance of the waterways with the displacement of the plungers and the passage capacity of the valves 

 makes the pumps absolutely free from air cushions, and means that a rapid development of a steady high pressure is 

 always possible. 



Third — We had the only outfit at the National Horticultural Congress, Council Bluffs, Iowa, November 10 to 19, 1910, 

 that could and did take the 30-minute test at a pressure of 300 pounds. In this test the "BECK" was the only machine 

 that ran the full time of the trial without a stop or engine trouble, and it led its class by a score of 15 points over its 

 nearest competitor, in capacity and general operation — the important features of a power outfit. 



Mr. Gro'wer, we know that you ■will want real reliability in your outfit, and we ask for a 



careful investigation of our machines.
