 The Acme Pump. The Daisy Sprayer.— A cheap but very effective 



Spraying Pump, made entirely of tin. This is not an ordinary single barrel syringe, but 

 a regular force pump. The cylinder is provided with a suction valve, and the discharge 

 pipe is sufficiently wide to act as an air chamber, thereby enabling the pump to throw a 

 continuous stream. The piston is connected with the wooden lever by means of a heavy 

 iron rod. The nozzle is attached to the air chamber by means of a short piece of rubber 

 hose, thereby enabling us to spray in all directions. This sprayer is substantially made 

 and will with ordinary care last for years. Price, $1.75. 



Lewis' Agricultural Syringe. — This exterminator is 26 inches long, by \% inches 

 in diameter. It is made of zinc tubing which does not rust by using strong chemicals. 

 The piston is fitted with Lewis' Patent Expansion Valve, which holds the liquid at any 

 point in the tube, except on pressure of the handle, when it discharges the liquid on each 

 hill. Price, $1.50. 



The "tittle Gem" Spraying Pump.— This Pump is 

 made entirely of brass. The working parts, discharge and 

 connecting tubes, plunger rod and air chamber, so that all 

 parts (except the rubber hose and valve packing) that come in 

 contact with the liquid, are of brass, making it practical for 

 using any of the insecticides. The large capacity of the air 

 chamber'and length of cylinder, together with the power of 

 the inflating valve, enables it to throw a continuous steady 

 stream fifty feet, or a steady spray for thirty seconds or more 

 after the operator stops pumping. The pump is neat in de- 

 sign, very compact, strong and durable, nothing liable to get 

 out of repair or wear .out that could not be replaced at a cost 

 of a few cents. The entire weight of the pump complete is 4 

 pounds. When boxed ready for shipment, 7 pounds. The 

 price, with both nozzles, including an iron stirrup for holding 

 it firmly in the pail with the foot, is $5.00. 



The Vapor Gem Sprayer. — Strong, durable, efficient 

 and handsome. For house plants, green-honses, flower gar- 

 dens, etc.. The best insecticide distributor known. Uses 

 every kind of poisonous spray, Paris Green, Bordeaux Mixture, Arsenical Mixture, Kero- 

 sene and Rosin Emulsion, with great effect, and will exterminate all obnoxious and inju- 

 rious insects on plants of all kinds. The tank is heavy sheet copper and holds one quart, 

 and the pump is made of heavy brass and • not easily affected by any acidulous liquid. 

 Price, $2.25. 



Directions for Using the Sprayer — To produce a heavy spray work the plunger quickly. 

 The leather on the plunger must be kept soft and pliable by using a good quality of oil. 

 After oiling shove the cap cover over the leather and leave it there until the rim of the cap 

 is entered into the air chamber. To fill the tank remove the screw cap. One filling sprays 

 600 hills.
