This Gun has received unqualified endorsement, and has given universal satisfaction wherever used. This implement alone is destined to save 
millions of dollars to the horticulturists and fanners of the United States. Many farmers at the present time neglect to a.pp\y insecticides, because of 
the labor and time involved in preparing and distributing in the liquid form. You will often hesitate about hitching up a team to haul a barrel of 
water, and spend several hours in applying it; while if you could pick up this Gun and walk out to the garden, orchard or field, j-ou would have the 
powder applied in less time than it would take to prepare the solution. This work always comes in the hurried times, and the Gun not only saves 
time, but insures attention at the proper time to a work, which, if neglected, entails serious loss. 
The above is a copy of an editorial by Mr. Elmer S. Carman, in the Rural New Yorker, April 15th, 1893. 
The implement illustrated is described as follows : Weighs about five pounds. Without tubes is 27 inches long. The reservoir holds 4 pounds 
of Paris Green (or over a quart of powder) with slots in the bottom opening into the tube. The stock of the Gun contains a fan, which is made to 
revolve rapidlv by means of the crank and cog wheels. The openings in the reservoir arc opened or closed by a slide, which is moved back and forth 
by means of a thumb screw. The indicator shows how lar the slots are opened. The Oiui is also supported by two straps, one is placed around the 
neck, the other around the waist. It is made in the best manner of tin, iron, steel and brass. Weight of machine, ready for use, about 10 pounds. 
We recommend the following directions for applying Paris Green or London Purple on Potato Vines: 
Clear, pure, dry Paris Green may be used with safety and produce better results and at less expense than by other means. On small vines V4 to 
% pounds, on large 1 pound to the acre, may be applied at any time, treating but one row at a time of daj' on wet or dry vines, one acre per hour 
being the average time treating but one row at a time, or two acres per hour dusting two rows at once. Practice on one row at first. Saves Green, 
labor, time and potatoes. 
The Gvecn may be used mixed, saj' one pound of Green to one of flour, lime or plaster if desired. 
The only object in mixing is, to enable the operator to see the quantity of powder discharged and the result on the vines. It is not economy to 
mix the Green with otlier material, but a waste. Some have supposed it necessary to see the Green on the vines, but when used pure the article is so 
destructive to insects that the faintest dust can be relied upon as being effective. 
With it a man can thoroughly Paris Green from one to two acres of potatoes in one hour. 
No other device distributes Paris Green so perfectly and effectively. 
No other machine renders the handling of Paris Green so free from danger. 
It is not liable to get out of order, and with good usage will last for years. 
When used on only one acre it will save its cost the first year. 
The machine is, in fact, guaranteed to do perfect work just as recommended, if directions for using it are followed.
