SPRAYERS 



THE FOtTNT.4IN. One of 



tlie best compressed air 

 sprayers on the market. Tlie 

 tank has a capacity of :! 

 gallons and is tested to an 

 air pressure of 50 lbs. to tin 

 square inch, which obvi;ii 

 any danger of but- i 

 Splendid for spraying jut 

 plants in stores, etc. Al- 

 ways ready for use and nev- 

 er gets out of order. Wo 

 have used one in our store 

 for the past year and now 

 And we cannot do without 



It. Price: Galvanized Tank. $5.50; brass tank. 



^ THE BRANDT. A new sprayer designed to 



overcome the many objections to the compressed 

 air sprayers now on the market. Instead of 

 pumping the air into the reservoir before start- 

 ing to spray this sprayer is fitted with a pump 

 which can be worked while you walk, thus 

 controlling the pressure at will. Can be used 

 for one or two rows. Reservoir holds 3 gallons 

 of liquid, enough to spray a row a mile long, 

 with only one filling. Price, Gal'-nized Steel 

 Tank. $5.00. 



THE LOWELL— For apply- 

 ing insecticides in the form of 



a mist or vapor. The 

 voir of this sprayer is made 

 of glass, which enables the op- 

 erator to see ingredients mix- 

 ing just how they are work- 

 ing. Price, each, 75c; 3 for 

 Al'TO SPRAY. Eight to ten strokes of the 

 plunger in air chamber will compress enough 

 air to discharge the entire contents and make 

 a continuous spray for nine minutes. The' 

 '"Auto Spray" has been improved this season 

 by the addition of the "Auto Pop." shown in 

 illustration. Briefly described, the "Auto Pop" 

 is an automatic valve, which is closed by the 

 air pressure used to operate the "Auto Spray." 

 In operation a lever is moved by simply clos- 

 ing the hand, thus opening the valve and al- 

 lowing an instantaneous discharge of spray. 

 By releasing the lever it closes itself automat- 

 ically: hence the spray is in perfect control. 

 Price: Galvanized iron reservoir. $4.50; with Auto Pop, $5.50; solid 

 copper reservoir, $6.00; with .\uto Pop. $7.00; Brass Extension Rod. in 

 2-foot lengths, each, 35c; Galvanized Extension Rod, in 2-ft. lengths, 25c. 



PNTEUM.4TIC SPRAYER. A compressed air 

 liand-.sprayer, the only one on the market we 

 know of. This enables the operator to spray 

 with one-hai; the labor the ordinary spraver 

 requires. Will throw a fine mist and can be 

 used to advantage in applying insecticides, 

 etc. One quart size. Galvanized Tank. each, 

 $1.00; Brass Tank, each, $1.75.
