THE RURAL NEW-YORKER 
March 9 
Catalogues for 1901. 
[continued.] 
Fiei>d Force Pump Co., Lockport, N. 
Y., is a reliable house. They carry a 
full supply of pumps and spraying ma¬ 
terials. Just now there is a demand 
from many farmers for pumps and tanks 
of large capacity. It is found too expen¬ 
sive to use small barrels in spraying 
large orchards. The Field Company can 
supply just what is needed by these 
large growers—and small ones, too. 
The Handy Wagon Co., Saginaw, 
Mich., makes a wagon that is handy in 
the best sense of the word. It is low 
down, thus saving many a backache. 
Its wheels enable it to be turned around 
inside a small space. The wheels are 
made of wood—solidly built, so that on 
soft roads the mud will not crowd 
around rim and spoke, and double the 
draft. But it seems like an old story to 
mention the good qualities of this wagon 
—they are apparent to anyone who will 
glance at the picture.

EVERY FRUIT GROWER SHOULD READ K. M. KELLOGG’S NEW BOOK, ENTITLED 
GREAT GRDPS OF SMALL FRUIT 
AND HOW TO GROW THEM. The author has grown the largest crops of fancy fruit ever 
produced on an acre. In his experimental grounds are single plants which yield over FOUR 
QUARTS each of fine large berries. His customers have done as well. This has been accomplished 
by SCIENTIFICALLY BREEDING up plants to a high fruiting vigor so they throw their energies 
to the development of fruit instead of useless runners. The profit comes from a big crop of big 
berries that sells at sight to regular customers. This book tells you all about how it Is done. THE 
CHEAPEST PLANT Is the one that will give you the best fruit and most of it. You can’t afford to 
play second fiddle on the market by using scrub plants. The only stock of scleutltically-grown 
thoroughbred plants In the country for Spring planting. Send your address at ouce, and get a copy 
of this book, and a revised edition for three years FREE. Address
