BETTER FRUIT 



April 



NEW POWER SPRAYER 



ESPECIALLY CONSTRUCTED TO MEET THE REQUIRE- 

 MENTS OF THE FRUIT GROWERS OF THE NORTHWEST 



After talking with a number of the fruit 

 growers, we have embodied in this Spray 

 Outfit the suggestions which they gave. 



The first machines on the market were too 

 heavy (weighing not less than 2,000 pounds). 

 This machine weighs only 1,300 pounds, which 

 is a feature to be considered on hillsides and 

 soft ground. 



The machine is built low enough to clear the 

 branches of the trees, being 4 feet 3 inches 

 from the ground. The tank and cover for the 

 engine are so constructed as to serve as a 

 platform for the operator to stand on while 

 spraying down into the calyx. Again it differs 

 from the first machines in that it is very short, 

 being but 4 feet 8 inches wheel base, making 

 it possible to turn short. 



This Spray Outfit, with the Fairbanks-Morse 

 one-horsepower engine, direct connected to a 

 special pump designed to give 200 pounds 

 pressure continuously through two hose con- 

 nections and nozzles from a tank of 150 gal- 

 lons capacity, appeals to the fruit growers 

 because it embodies every feature they regard 

 as important. 



We invite you to investigate this entirely 

 new Spray Outfit. Write for catalog.
