INNOVATION IN TREE PRODUCTION 
TREE SPRAYER 
Designed and Built in Our Own Research Machine Shops 
Not just a sprinkling of spray material, but an actual ‘‘bath’”’ of 
the fruit trees while traveling on its own power down the nursery 
rows. Note the slots where the machine travels through the row. 
The sprayers are inside of the hood and as the machine passes through 
the rows the trees are literally submerged by spray material. Through 
a special device, the surplus spray material is not thrown to the 
winds but drops into small troughs at the base of the hoods and is 
then pumped back, screened, and again returned to the supply tank 
for use, thus reducing spraying costs to one-third of the ordinary Bosch pit Pleater 
open air spray method. Covers 30 acres per day. 
| : PEACH PIT PLANTER 
Another one of Greenings own inventions to improve 
quality, make possible enormous production of Peach trees. 
Plants 560,000 pits per day. We plant only pits which 
have been found to be free from Peach Yellows, Little 
Peach, X Disease, Phony Peach, Red Suture and other virus 
diseases. A domestic or ‘’cannery” pit is more apt to carry 
disease. A ‘’Bud-Selected’’ tree grafted on a disease-free 
seedling is just one more safeguard to the grower!

WHOLE ROOT TREE DIGGER 
Designed and Built in Our Shop 
Tree digging revolutionized! This machine has cut the cost of the old- 
fashioned horse method at the ratio of 15 to 1. There are two separate 70 horse- 
power engines coupled together and synchronized as to speed and power. It is 
an ugly looking device, but runs as smooth as silk. Four years of continual ex- 
perimental work in our Mechanical Research shops brought about this truly mar- 
velous labor saving piece of machinery to unfailing success. Note that the op- 
erator is right down where he can see his work, thus assuring a balanced root 
system and uninjured trees. No long strings of horses which are ordinarily used 
in the old-fashioned way of tree digging which skinned and trampled trees. 
Note the extremely high clearance which eliminates the 
extreme bending of the trunk of the tree which is apt to 
injure the cambium layer by stretching the bark. Truly the 
most advanced fruit tree digger ever conceived. 
What This Means to You 
Our own labor-saving inventions cut costs—increase 
production—improve quality. Greening trees start from 
the ‘’Bud Selected”’ stock, are carefully planted, carefully 
tended during the early, important years of their growth, : 
dug with care, properly stored and shipped and reach you aig i 
in full vigor—at a lower cost than inferior trees. Whole Root Tree Digger
