Hardie High Pressure 
And Big Capacity 
Two big jobs that the Hardie Sprayer does—gives 
larger capacity of liquid and puts the pressure behind 
the spray, producing an all-enveloping spray that 
penetrates to every part of the tree. 
And the Hardie does these things economically—Effective 
spraying, low cost of operation and long life have made the 
Hardie the choice of growers who make their orchards pay. 
Every Hardie pump is tested to high pressure. They must 
deliver this pressure before they leave our factories. And 
Hardie Sprayers continue to deliver because of their proper 
design, skillful workmanship and high-grade material used 
in every part. 
Free from complicated parts found in so many power 
sprayers; equipped with worthwhile time saving devices, 
a Hardie gives you rapid effective spraying, saving 
you time, saving your fruit, increasing your profits. 
The Hardie Catalog shows the way to better fruit. Write for it today.

the smaller sorts are spaced about 30 ft. 
This latter would be, better spacing for 
your section. There are two systems of 
planting trees, the square system, which 
is in general use, and the triangular sys¬ 
tem. With the latter about 15 per cent 
more trees per acre can be grown. The 
soil should be thoroughly prepared, and 
for the beginner stakes set for every tree. 
Some large growers set by this method 
and claim more accurate results. A wire 
with drops of solder the required distance 
apart makes a very convenient marker. 
Wire is used, as it does not stretch. The 
simplest method we know is to run stakes 
around all four sides of the piece at the 
required distance, say 15 ft. This estab¬ 
lishes the end tree in each row. Space 
should have been left at the ends so the 
trees do not shade the next field. Then 
take a gang of three men to set the rest 
of the stakes. One sights in one direction 
Triangular Method of Orchard Setting 
and another in the other direction, the 
third man setting the stakes. He is 
“waved” into position by the two sighters 
as each stake is sot, and very soon gets it 
into the proper spot. 
Another method is to stake out a base 
line parallel to the road and set another 
row of stakes perpendicular. This is done 
by making a triangle with sides 6, S, 10, 
or 30, 40, 50 ft. Then by means of two 
boards, each 15 ft., all the other stakes 
can be set with little trouble, as shown in 
diagram. After the stakes are set we 
.want to be sure the tree is set iu the 
exact spot where they stood. This is ac¬ 
complished by the use of a 6-ft. hoard, 
notched in the center and at the end, 
shown iu diagram. The center notch is 
placed against the stake, and two pegs 
are driven in the notches at the end. 
Then the stake and board is removed and 
the hole dug. The board is replaced as 
formerly, and the tree set with the stem 
in the crotch where the stake was for¬ 
merly. This brings the tree in the exact 
place where the stake was, and the whole 
orchard can be lined up perfectly. 
With the triangular system every other 
row of trees comes midway between those 
above, as in cut. The first row is staked 
out as previously, and by use of our 15-ft. 
boards placed at the first and second 
stakes the mid point below is found, and

number 
of trees 
per acre 
multiply the distance between the trees 
and divide into 43,560. For example, 
trees 30 ft. apart, 30 X 30 = 900; 
43,500 -r- 900 = 49, number of trees per

Putty Fails to Stick 
What is the trouble with putty when 
it does not stick to the wood? I bought 
some hotbed sash, aud the putty on them 
cannot he taken off; I applied some my¬ 
self. and after a week or so it came off. 
New Brunswick, N. J. j. M. 
The trouble is probably not with the 
putty, but with the sash bar. From your 
statement as to the way it soon lets loose 
from the bar, I suspect the sash bar is 
wet. Of course in that case the putty 
cannot stick. Sometimes putty will not 
stick well on old weatherbeaten wood. 
All wood that is to receive putty should 
be perfectly dry, clean and have fit least 
one coat of paint before putty is applied. 
The ordinary putty, such as is procurable 
at the stores, is not suitable for glazing 
hotbed sash, nor for glazing greenhouses. 
All such putty should have added to it at 
least one-third of its weight of pure white 
lend, well mixed with it. K.
