field crops, such as potatoes, tol^acco, etc. It can also be 
equipped with special attachment for spraying vineyards and 
even for spraying trees. This outfit is also useful for spraying 
field crops to kill off the weeds, solutions being available 
which will kill the weeds without injuring the cro])s. 
FIELD CROP ATTACHMENT 
This is a special attachment for mounting on the end of a 
wagon which can be used as a field crop sprayer in connection 
with any hand or power spray pump. 
NOZZLES 
The nozzle is one of the most important parts of the spray¬ 
ing outfit, as upon it depends the distribution of the spray, 
and therefore, the effectiveness of the work.

These are only a few of the many types of sprayers and 
fittings made. Interested parties can always obtain addi¬ 
tional data by writing any of the spray pump manufacturers, 
who are always glad to send catalogs giving complete informa¬ 
tion. 
In selecting a sprayer, after deciding upon the type that 
will be most suitable, the one thing the buyer should keep in 
mind ahead of everything else is quality. The effectiveness 
of spraying depends entirely upon how well it is done; and to 
spray properly one must use a pump that is designed right and 
built right. The spray must be applied in the proper degree 
of fineness and quantity, otherwise one might just as well not 
spray at all. 
It is very essential, therefore, that the agriculturalist 
make sure that he is buying from a reliable manufacturer, one

whose goods are known and have proven right by long service. 
With this precaution, it is a predetermined fact that spraying 
will return his investment many-fold.

axle clearing 6' from the ground, and there is sufficient 
room between either side of the tank and the side of the axle

immediately in front of the tank. This machine has been 
very successfully operated by a number of the largest nursery¬ 
men, whose names will be furnished on ap]3lication. 
STARK BROTHERS’ ADVERTISING MANAGER 
RESIGNS 
The Stark Brothers’ Nurseries and Orchards Company 
has recently lost one of its most efficient helpers in the person 
of Earl M. Wilson, who during the past four years has been 
the Company’s advertising manager. Mr. Wilson, fomierly 
of Chicago, goes back to that city to accept a very desirable 
position with the advertising de])artment of the Curtis 
Publishing Company of Philadelphia. Mr. Wilson is Mr. 
W. P. Stark’s son-in-law. 
The nursery catalogue of Messrs. Ellwanger & Barry of 
Rochester, New York, received a very flattering notice in the 
daily press of Rochester some weeks ago. The Post Express 
gives a column or so to the descriptive details of the catalogue, 
which is designed to be educational, as well as to cover the 
necessary commercial features of such publications. 
It is stated that the fruit trees in the Grand Valley of Colorado are 
in better condition than at this season for many years. The continued 
cold weather of the winter has retarded the development of fruit buds, 
so that there is almost no doubt of a record crop.
