THE NATIONAL NURSERYMAN 
plishing anything, as their efforts were a complete failure. 
Another attempt was made later but of no avail. 'So the 
matter was given up, and the tract of land was considered of 
little or no value. We purchased it at a very low price, not 
with any intention of reclaiming, but because it adjoined 
our homestead and squared the boundary line. Strangers 
would often ask why we did not drain this pond. We had 
to answer and say that it could not be done; and after a 
time the desire to see this particular work accomplished 
grew so strong that we had several surveys made, running 
lines in an altogether different direction than had ever been 
run before and over a course that was considered quite out 
of the question, owing to the deep cut, as before described. 
After finding we had the fall we were quick to make up our 
minds that we would attempt the work, feeling sure that it 
could be accomplished. We began the job about December 
i, and by April i, we had it completed ready for crop. 
“The soil in this tract is of the very finest, as it is made 
up from decayed vegetable matter altogether with the fer¬ 
tile soil washed from the surrounding fields and farms. It 
will stand continuous cropping for many generations; and 
for the purpose for which we will use it it will be worth $500 
per acre, as we intend to lay it off in small tracts and use for 
trucking and propagating nursery stock. The tests we have 
made this year prove it to be very fertile, as the potatotes 
are yielding at the rate of 300 bushels per acre, corn 100 
bushels per acre, and all other crops in like proportion. We 
feel highly elated over our success in this work, and think it 
will prove a paying investment from a financial standpoint.”

Rome Beauty, and Winesap, trying for second place; 
Elberta Peach selling well but not so strong as past two

A GOOD SPRAY PUMP EARNS BIG 
PROFITS AND LASTS FOR YEARS 
The Eclipse 
is a good pump. As 
practical fruit grow¬ 
ers were using common sprayers in opr 
own orchards—found their defects and 
invented the Eclipse. Its success 
forced us to manufacturing on a large 
scale. You take no chances. We 
have done all the experimenting.
