EJW ARRANGEMENT. 
The «Metropolitan Washing Machine Company,” 
having become convinced of the great merits and usefulness 
of DOTY’S PATH XT TREE PRUNER AND FRUIT 
PICKER, AND BLACKBERRY BRUNER, have now ar¬ 
ranged for their Exclusivk Manufacture and Sale. 
The Tukk Pkunbr and Fruit Picker (7 feet long) ena¬ 
bles the operator to easily cut off any green limb of one inch 
(or less) in diameter, (or gather fruit,) 13 l'eet from the 
ground, without step-ladder. 
The following valuable testimony is from the estimable 
Chairman of the Horticultural Branch of the American In¬ 
stitute, and widely known and acknowledged as one of the 
best authorities—probably the best— on Apples especially, in 
America: 
Rye, Westchester Co., N. Y., 3d mo. 1st. 1870. 
Mr. Doty:— 1 believe I was one of the first to use your 
Patent Long-Handled Pruner. The first one 1 hart from you 
lias been in constant use for about five years, in the pruning 
season. I have bocn enabled to shape all my ornamental 
and fruit trees with it.and would not take for it now ten, times 
the cost, if I could not get another. The last one I got from 
von is a decided improvement on the first one, being much 
lighter, and its cutting power much greater. For a pruner 
of fruit and ornamental trees, shrubs, blackberries, etc., I 
know of nothing so valuable. 
Very respectfully, WM. S. CARPENTER. 
The Blackberry Pruner (5 feet long) lias no Fruit pick¬ 
ing attachment, and is made shorter for greater convenience 
in taking out the old blackberry canes. 
F. G. Pratt, of Concord, Mass.,says: “ It improved on ac¬ 
quaintance, and finally I pruned with it Grapes, Raspberries, 
Blackberries,and Gooseberries, to the amount of four acres, 
liking it better and belter as I went along. 1 found it 
particularly adapted to pruning Grape-vines, doing much 
faster and better than by shears. ’ 
The generally admitted fact that fruitfulness, especially of 
Peaches, Pears, Blackberries, etc., is materially aided by 
proper pruning, coupled with the fact that no suitable im¬ 
plement for doing tliis difficult work has hitherto been in¬ 
troduced, leads us to anticipate contributing largely to the 
horticultural interests of our country, by the general intro¬ 
duction of Doty’s Patent Pruners and Fruit Pickers.
