TO CUSTOMERS.
WING to the unfavorable conditions of last season, the excessive rains and the cold back. ward spring, all varieties of seeds are very scarce, especially Peas, Beans, Squash and Melon, these are almost a failure; Cucumber is a total failure. Carrot, Pepper, Corn and Potatoes were not half a crop; on these varieties the prices are higher, but considering the scarcity and quality, very low, therefore, it will be well to order early as prices are liable to advance. The seeds I offer are of the very best sorts and strains to be obtained. I use the greatest care to keep the stock first-class in every way, and can confidently assert that none better can be had. I thank you for your patronage during the past 35 years and trust for a continuance of the same this season.
How to Order.—In writing out your order, do it as plainly as possible, and be sure to sign ur name distinctly, giving post-office address, county and State, in full, and also express office, for many times it is better to send by express than by mail. Each year we have orders we cannot fill because they are wxsigned. Make your order out as soonas possible. It will be an advantage to you and a favor to us.
How to Remit.—Sexd money by post-office or express money order, registered letter or draft. We guarantee the safe arrival of money sent in this way. Postage stamps received as cash when notes are not obtainable, or to make proper change. (Two-cent stamps preferred.)
We Pay the Postage to all parts of the United States on the seeds mentioned in this Cata- logue in packets, ounces and pounds, without adding anything to the list price, except where specially noted.
Remember, the Mail and Express bring Our Store to Your Door.
It costs no more to buy of us from a distance than if you came into our store and purchased seed over our counter.
Please observe that though we prepay the postage on seeds, as above stated, we make no ad- dition to our Catalogue price to cover this outlay. Peas, Beans, Sweet and Field Corn, when ordered by mail, five ‘cents per pint and ten cents per quart must be added to the price list for one-half the postage, and for Onzon Sets eight cents per quart, and for 4zrvd Seed fourteen cents per quart.
We fill Orders Promptly.—We aim to fill orders and dispatch them immediately after receipt, unless some special cause prevents, in which case acknowledgment is made and explanation given. Where no shipping instructions are given, we send by the best route we know of. Packages too large to send by mail we shall send either by express or freight. We fill an order for ten cents’ worth of seed with the same promptness and care as one for fifty dollars. We guarantee the safe arrival of all packages.
We Test.—All our seeds are thoroughly tested before we sell them, in a most careful manner, and only those that gvow well do we send out. This, in connection w ith our system of having to do only with the dest stocks and carefully watching the crops, affords ourselves and customers “the best protection possible.
My long experience for the past 35 years in the growing, selecting and oor of stocks enables me to supply customers with seeds that cannot be surpassed.
We do not warrant seed, because, as is well known, so many causes may, and often do, pre- vent the best seeds from growing and producing crops, from no fault in the seeds. We, therefore, in common with all other reliable seedmen, wish it distinctly understood that, while we exercise very great care to have all seed pure and reliable, we sell no seeds with warranty, express or im- plied, in any respect, and will not be in any way responsible for the crop. If the purchaser does not accept the seeds on these terms they must be returned at once, and the money that has been paid for the same will be refunded.
George H. Price, Successor to Price & Reed.

CARROT,
Sow as early in the Spring as the ground can be worked, in a rich light soil, well manured with old fine manure and thoroughly worked very deep. Fresh stable manure is likely to make them fork and branch. Land that was heavily manured the previous season is the best. Plant in rows fourteen inches apart in the garden, but from twenty to twenty- two inches in the field, and thin plants to five or six inches in the rows, hoeing often between them, just enough to kill the weeds, otherwise the roots tend to branch or fork. For general crops sow during May.

CABBAGE.
Early varieties should be sown in hot-beds during February and March, transplanted into very richly manured ground about the middle of April. The ground should be loosened and worked up thoroughly to grow largeand good heads. Hoe often to kill weeds, and draw earth up othe stemgy. For later crops sow in shallow drills (four to six inches apart), in Aprilor May. To keep off the “‘fly,”” soot, wood ashes, lime and tobacco dust, or any or all, should be used freely, very early in the morning; one day’s neglect may spoil the plants. Set during the month of June, in rich ground three feet apart.

MUSHROOM BED.
MUSHROOMS.
Mushrooms may be grown in a cellar or shed, or in beds prepared in the open air, in the same manner as hot-beds. Take fresh horse drop- pings and mix with about the same weight of loam. Turn and mix every day until the required amount is obtained. When the heap has cooled off to about 90 or 95 degrees make the beds 4 feet wide and 8 inches deep, each layer firmly trodden down. When the temperature has fallen to about 90 degrees put in the spawn, in pieces about the size of a hen’s egg, 2 inches deep and 12 inches apart each way; in 10 or 12 days cover with 2 inches of loam and beat firmly down with the spade; cover this with 3 or 4 inches of hay or straw. The temperature should be as nearly uniform as possible, but should range only between the extremes of 50 and 70 degrees. They will appear in from 4 to 6 weeks.

Plant as early as the ground can be worked, in single or double rows from 3 to 4 feet apart, about an inch apart in the row and 3 inches deep. (In summer they should be planted 6 inches deep.) Hoe often. They will mature early in a light, dry soil, especially if manured the previous season, but should not be manured too highly at the time of planting. If they grow too fast, and show no signs of bloom, run a spade down on each side, about 6 inches from the row, and thus root prune them, which will cause them to bloom ina few days. Fora succession, plant every two weeks during the season. For early peas the soil should be light, warm and sheltered, but for general crop a moderately heavy soil is better,

POTATOES
Good Seed Potatoes are this prices are liable
scarce season, and
to ad- vance.
The potatoes I offer this season were specially grown for seed in the north of Michigan, on new ground and are entirely free from rot, scab and all disease. They are true to name, clean and smooth; the very best for seed. Potatoes grown in this section last season were not successful crops, owing to the dry, unfavorable weather. New seed stock, such as we offer, will this year be more desirable and advantageous to use than ever before.
They will insure earlier and better- sized crops than could be had by wsing any potatoes grown about here.
The prices I quote are low con-
sidering the very fine stock I offer.
I recommend that those of my customers who want new seed potatoes send me their orders early, as my stocks are limited and cannot be replenished.
I haye listed a few varieties. These are the newest and leading sorts of the many kinds of potatoes now claiming public attention. The prices are liable to variation as the season advances, and our stocks become exhausted. Of late years, great attention has been paid to the im- provement of existing sorts of potatoes and the introduction of new kinds. There is no more economical investment than the money paid out for improved varieties. Changing your seed will be sure to improve your crop and bring much better quality and heavier yield. In this way you will be repaid a hundred fold. The prices at which I have listed my potatoes are low for this season, and I can recommend them as being true to name, northern grown, from carefully selected first-class stocks.
Single pounds sent by mail for 30 cents per pound, or 4 pounds for $1.00. Barrels contain 165 Ibs. of potatoes.

BIRD SEEDS.
If you wish to keep your Birds in good condition and have them sing well, feed them good BirdSeed. We sell only the very best Sicily Canary,English or German Rape, German Milletand Russian Hemp. One trouble withthe common Bird Seed sold in boxes in the stores, is that it contains common Smyrna Canary, oftentimes musty, which, of course,is injurious to your Birds. Ourseed, mixed of the very best quality, costs less than that sold in boxes. We sell at 12 cents per quart or 6 cents per pint. The boxes you pay 10 cents for contain a pound; we sell a pint at 6 cents, which is nearly a pound; three pound packages would cost you 30 cents; three pints, which weigh 3 pounds lacking 2 ounces, would cost 18 cents, which is a saving of 12 cents, besides having the best quality. You are paying for the box and the fancy label on it; bear this in mind when you want Bird Seed.
Mixed Bird Seed. Mixed of Sicily Canary, Ger- man Rape, German Millet and a very little Russian Hemp; just enough to keep your birds in good condition. 12 cents per quart; 6 cents per pint.

BERIILIZERS AND PLANT FOODS.
These Fertilizers, or Plant Foods are made expressly for Plants or flowers growing in the House, Garden or Conservatory, and contain the same Plant Foo4 as stable manure, but in a cleaner, more concentrated and soluble form. The stable manure is disagreeable to handle, slow in effect, and often breeding vermin about the roots of the plants, and, like guano, has an unpleasant odor. The Plant Food has no unpleasant odor, is clean to handle, and being soluble, is immediately taken up by the plants, producing a quick and healthy growth, with more abundant blossoms, of a richer color, than any other dressing will produce. It gives a rich, green color to the leaves and prolongs the period of blooming. It cannot injure the plant, and protects it from vermin, It can be dissolved in water or worked into the earth, and the effect will be seen in a week or ten days after the first application.

Price’s Improved Lawn and Garden Rollers.
It is of great benefit to use a roller on the lawn, especially inthe Spring, as the action of the frost causes the ground to heave and become uneven. If it is not firmly pressed back with a roller before hot weather the grass is apt to be injured or killed, leaving the lawn full of bare spots. These Rollers have weights attached to axle and have round edges.

SOUTHERN COW PEAS.
The great soil renovator. The growing crop makes poor land rich and rich land better, at the same time producing a large amount of forage for green or dry feed.
A field of Cow Peas has been designated ‘‘The Poor Man’s Bank,”’ and a similar truth may be added, it will increase the rich man’s bank account,
The Southern Cow Pea (in reality a Bean), has been cultivated in the South for many years, but only in recent years has it been demonstrated that most all varieties are adapted to cultivation throughout nearly the entire United States. They now promise to become one of our most valuable farm products.
Prof, Jared G. Smith, of the U. S. Department of Agriculture, says of their feeding value: The green vines are more succulent than Red Clover or any of the Grasses. The hay is more nutritious than hay pro- duced from Grasses, Millets, or any other plant used for the purpose. One ton of Cow Pea Hay being equal to 1}¥ tons of the best Timothy
Hay.
The yield of hay runs from1 to 8 tons per acre. The Rhode Island experiment station reporting one year a yield per acre of 35,000 pounds, green vines making 53g tons dry hay. he yield of Peas range from 13 to 80 bushels per acre, occasionally as high as 50 bushels;
Asa fertilizer crop it excels all joehecs absorbing from the air more Nitrogen than Clover and drawing from the subsoil large amounts of Potash and Phosphoric Acid, depositing these fertilizer elements in the surface soil just where needed for succeeding crops.
Cow Peas afford excellent midsummer pasturage, but the best way for using green is to cut and feed to stock.
For hog pasture turn in just as the peas are ripening, hogs will then eat both vines and peas, and will put on fat rapidly.
For hay, cut when the last pods are formed, wilt, rake into winrows, \eave one or two days, then put in small cocks a week or ten days tiil SY I cured.
Do not forget the Southern Cow Pea belongs to the Bean family and must not be planted until the ground is warm, in this latitude about May 10, to the last of June or even later if wanted for green feed.
Plow the ground deep and harrow well, sow broadcast 2 bu. per acre or drill 16 to 18 inches apart 1% bu. per acre.
They will grow well on almost all soils not too wet.

MEDIUM CLOVER (Trifolium Pratense), Perennial but of few years’ duration. Price variable; 60 lbs, to bu.; 15 or 20 lbs. to acre; market price,
LARGE, MAMMOTH or PEA VINE CLOVER (Trifo- lium Pratense). Valuable on light ground and for plowing under; 15 to 20 lbs. to acre; 60 lbs, to bu.; market price.
ALSYKE CLOVER (Trifolium ais ees Perennial. Resembles in growth, etc., the Red Clover. hrives well in cold, wet, stiff soils, The blossoms are very sweet; bees are very fond of them. It will produce very little crop the first year, as the roots have to geta firm hold of the soil. The second year it can be cut two or three times. The third year it comes into full vigor, and after that good crops can be cut for eight to ten years, About I2 lbs. toacre. Per lb., 20 cts.
ALFALFA or LUCERNE CLOVER (Medicago Sativa). This clover is one of the best forage plants (green or as hay) that a farmer can cultivate, being very nutritious for horses and cattle. No other green crop resists the drought better. It is no sooner mown than it pushes out fresh shoots. It will last for any hee puoeHng its tough and fibrous roots downwards to the depth of 10 to 20 feet below the surface till they are out of reach of drought. In the driest weather it will hold up its stems fresh and green when others droop for want of moisture, After it has become well set it can be cut three or four times in one season, It ylelds enormously after the first year, 6 to 8 tons of dry hay being reported as an average yield. The thicker it is sown the finer and better the hay will be; 20 to 25 Ibs. of seed should be sown on an acre. If sown too thin it will have large coarse stemsand yield very poorly. Plow deep, cultivate the ground well and put on plenty of seed and you will have a good yield and a good quality of hay, 20 lbs. toacre. Per Jb. 20.cts.; per bu., special price.
SCARLET or CRIMSON CLOVER (Trifolium Incar- matum),. Annuai; grows about 20 inches high and has pat strong roots going deep into the soil. It will make a good growth on land too poor and sandy to grow red clover or any grasses and will make an enormous growth on good land. Does well in all places except wet land. Makes good hay or a fine soiling crop. Sow in Spring or Summer, about 15 lbs. peracre. Per lb., 15 cts.
BOKHARA CLOVER (Melilotus Alba). Valuable for soiling, grows from 2 to 3 feet high, and if sown in rich soil may be cut three [times, and yields 3 tonsand upwards per acre. Good for bees. About 10 lbs. toacre, Per Ib., 25 cts.
WHITE DUTCH CLOVER (Trifolium Repens). Valuable in mixture for permanent pastures, forming, in conjunction with natural grasses, the finest and most nutritious food for cattle and sheep: also valuable for lawns and grass plats. Best imported. Per Ib., 40 cts. ‘
JAPANESE BARNYARD MILLET, or BILLION DOLLAR GRASS. A very strong, luxuriant variety, growing 6 to 8 feet high, producing 10 to 12 tons per acre. Makes excellent fodder. Has produced 8,000 Ibs. well-cured hay to the acre, from 4% bush. Per Ib., 15 cts.; per 100 lbs., $12.00.
SOJA BEANS. Valuable for fodder anda fine soil improver. Thrives in hot, dry weather. Per bushel, $3.50.
KAFFIR CORN. Valuable for forage, land renovating, etc. Produces 2 to 4 heads from a single stalk. The whole stalk, if cut down as soon as seed heads appear, at once starts a second growth from the roots. It also stands drought wonderfully. If growth is checked for want of moisture, the plant waits for rain, and when it comes, at once resumes its growth. n very thin and worn-out lands it yields paying crops of grain or forage, even in dry seasons, when corn has utterly failed. The whole stalk, as well as blades, makes an excellent fodder, and all stock eat it greedily. Sow in rows 8 feet apart, 44 bu. per acre. Price 00 application.
DWARF ESSEX RAPE. This plant is extensively grown for forage, especially for sheep, and for green manure, for which pur- pose there is perhaps no better plant adapted where a quick, rank growth is desired. Farmers who raise much stock and desire to get young cattle, sheep and lambs into favorable condition to be sold ad- vantageously in the fall, can do it most cheaply by growing this Rape. Prepare the ground as for turnips and sow in June or July, with a turnip drill, in rows 2% feet apart, at the rate of 5 lbs. of seed per acre, or broadcast at rate of 10 lbs. tothe acre Our stock is the true Essex Dwarf, and not the worthless annual. 10 cts. lb., 10 lbs. for 80 cts.
SORGHUM, or SUGAR CANE, is being used extensively asa green food for cattle, horsesand mules; itis a sure crop, being a great drought resister and an immense yielder, proudeing many tons of most nutritious green food to the acre. Specially fine food for milch cows when pasture is short.
Early Orange. A strong grower; much more juicy than any other variety. The stalk is heavier and a little later than the Amber.
Early Amber. This popular and well-known variety is the earliest and makes the finest quality of both sugar and syrup. Price on application.

DIRECTIONS FOR THEIR USE.
’
Amnuals are plants which, raised from seed, perfect the flowers, ripen their seed and perish the same season. There are some, such as Verbena, Eschscholtzia and others, cultivated as annuals, that are only such ina northern climate, being in their own congenial region bien- nials and perennials.
Wiennials are those which grow the first season, flower the next, and then die, They may sometimes be induced to flower for two or three successive seasons, by preventing them from going to seed.
Perennials are those which live and continue to blossom several years. If planted very early in borders, or brought forward in windows or hot-beds, they will bloom the first season. Many of them are hardy enough to stand the coldest of our Winters, dying down every season, and coming up in the Spring from the old roots.
CULTURE.
Hardy Annuals, or most of them, may be sown out of doors in April or May, in the Middle and Eastern States, and some of the hardiest the last week in March, if the ground is in a condition to work, but the time for sowing seeds varies with the latitude. It is well to start some varities in pots or pans in the house, and transplant them when the weather permits, as a succession of bloom is thus obtained; those started out of doors coming on later, Any shallow pot or pan will do for starting seed, provided there is good drainage at the bottom, so that superfluous water canescape. Free access of air is very important, and this is inter- fered with by an excess of water in the soil. In planting out of doors, sow the seed evenly on borders of finely pulverized earth, leveled off, covering not over an eighth of an inch; press gently down witha board, shade from the sun, and water when necessary with a fine rose. When large enough transplant into a good mellow soil. [They will, if sown in August and September, grow sufficiently large to stand the Winter, but should be protected by a slight covering of litter or straw. Transplant in the Spring and they will produce very early flowers. Hal/-hardy kinds, being more tender, will not bear hard frost, and should not besown in the open ground before the middle of May. Tender Annuals can hardly be brought to perfection without starting in the house or hot-bed. They can be started in March and April, in pans or pots of well-pulver- ized soil. Sow thinly, place in a gentle heat, and shade from the sun till well up, after which place near the glass, giving a little air on fine days; when strong, pick out in small pots, giving the same treatment as before till well established. Transplant when large enoughand out of all danger of frost. Will do well if sown in open ground the first of June.
Biennials and Perennials may be sown in the Spring as early as annuals—they need the same treatment, and should be planted out the following Autumn in situations where they are to flower. Can only be sown in the Autumn, selecting as cool and damp a bed as possible, keep- ing the ground shaded and moist by frequent waterings until plants appear.
Green-house Seeds should be sown in pots or pans half full of drainage; cover this with rough siftings of mould, and the surface with fine soil, moisten, using a fine rose. Sow seeds evenly over the surface, cover very lightly, keeping from the rays of the sun until the plants show the third leaf,then transplant intoseed pans three-fourths of aninchapart keeping them under a frame until perfectly recovered, giving a little air to strengthen them. As soon as they begin to touch each other, trans- plant into small pots and keep ina cool, airy part of the green-house near the glass, repotting them when necessary.
Soil. The preparation of the soil, especially for sowing the smaller kinds of seeds, is of the greatest importance,the success or failure depend- ing largely upon it. A mellow loam, which is a medium earth between the extremes of clay and sand, made rich with leaf mould,and tboroughly- votted manure, well mixed and made fine, form a light, friable soil, through which young plants can easily penetrate, and which will not
bake in the sun after watering. If the soil is heavy, add more leaf or sod mould, or manure in proportion; but always remember that the fertilizer must be well rotted, and, as well as the soil, thoroughly pulverized.
Sowing. Most seeds are planted toodeep. From this cause they often fail to grow, and the seed is pronounced worthless, Great care should be taken in sowing. As a rule, cover only to the depth of the thickness of the seed, but plain, large seeds, like Sweet Peas, Morning Glories, Lupins, etc., one inch; Asters, Balsams, etc., one-half inch; Coxcombs or Celosias, etc., one-quarter inch. Place the finest seeds on the surface, having first pressed the earth down firmly, merely dust them over with a little earth and gently ‘press down with a smooth board. In dry weather be sure to water every evening. When the plants first appear above ground, protect them from the direct rays of the sun.
In Planting, remember that soaking in warm (not hot) water will greatly hasten vegetation of Cypress Vine, Canna, and other hard shelled seeds, which are very slow to germinate. The ground should be kept free from weeds, and the earth should often be loosened, so that the plants may have the benefit of the rains and dews.
Hot-bed for f p Seedlings. In making a hot-bed the preparation of manure is a matter of import- ance,and it should be well worked previous to being used, if the bed be expected to re- tain its usefulness for any length of time. If obtained fresh, and found to be too dry, it should be well watered and thrown lightly together to ferment; this will take place in a few days, and from three to four days afterward it should be completely turned, shaken and mixed ; a second turning may be required, although one is usually sufficient. When thus cleaned of rankness the bed can be made. The place should be chosen where it is dry underneath, sheltered from the north as much as possible, and fully exposed tothe sun, It should be built up from two feet six inches to four feet high, and wider by six inches every way than the frame to be placed uponit. The manure should be well shaken and mixed while being put together, and firmly pressed by the feet. The frame should be placed on this and kept close until the heat rises, and three or four © inches of sifted sand or light soil placed on the surface of the bed, In a few days it will be ready for use; but air should be given night and day while there is any danger from the rank steam. If the sand or soil are drawn away from the sides of the bed, they should be replaced. When the hot-bed is used for seed only, nothing further is necessary, Seeds should be sown in pots or pans, and plunged or placed in the bec, the heat of which will soon cause them to germinate ; as this will after some time decline, a lining should be added, that is, fresh, hot, fer- mented, but not rank manure, applied about a foot in width all around the bed ; this will renew its strength.
Cold Frames are formed by placing an ordinary hot-bed frame upon a bed of light, rich soil in some warm, sheltered place in the garden, where it will be protected from cold winds. They should both be shaded from the sun by mats during the middle of the day and covered at night.
In Watering, use water that has been long enough exposed to the air to have acquired its temperature, or some that has been correspond- ingly tempered by artificial means; distribute in the evening through a fine rose, for thus it will neither disturb the soil over the growing seed, nor injure the buds and expanding foliage of either the young or old plants.

All Plants will be sent by Express. We do not send plants by mail, as we not only can send larger plants by express but they arrive in a much better condition, as the soil does not have to be taken as clean from the roots, whereas in sending by mail the earth has to be almost entirely removed, the plants are small and it takes some time for them to revive, and they often perish.

POTTED STRAWBERRY PLANTS.
The most favorable time for transplanting Strawberries is during the Spring months. A bed planted in April or May, and well cared for during the Summer, will produce a full crop the following season, When it is not practicable to set out in the Spring, a full crop may be obtained the next season by planting pot-grown plants during August or September. These have been layered in pots, and taken out and transplanted with the entire ball and every root the plant has made. After August first, we can furnish pot-grown plants of, most of the above varieties at $2.00 to $2.50 per fifty; $3.50 to $5.00 per hundred. Pot-grown plants cannot be sent by mail.

FLOWERING PLANTS AND VINES.
WE SEND ALL PLANTS BY EXPRESS. When plants are sent by mail they often die, because so much earth has to be taken from the roots. Where it is possible, therefore, it is much
better, and in the end more economical, to forward by express. When sent by freight they are entirely at the risk of the purchaser. This applies to Flowering and Vegetable Plants. They will be carefully packed (without pots). No charge will be made for packing.

Implements and Insecticides for Spraying.
George H. Price, Successor to Price & Reed.
OOO OOo
Spraying is no longer an experiment; it is an accepted practice, as tillage, pruning and fertilizing are, if \e desire to grow nice fruit, shrubs and trees. Therefore let us pattern afte> the bugs and be ready before the busy season comes,— have the pumps in working order and our in- secticides in stock. Spraying is an insurance, a protection to our trees. Do we not pay out many dollars to insure our buildings, which can be replaced with new ones in less than one year? Then why not insure our trees, which take a lifetime to grow? Be prompt, THOROUGH and persistent. Knowledge and good judgment are more necessary to success than any definite rule. Apply the right remedy at the right time and do your work well. Spray, not sprinkle, until all the leaves are moistened (if possible) and until the soiution begins to drip from the trees,
WHEN TO SPR4AY.—The time of making the application varies with the season. Asa rule when the insects first appear, or if the orchard fruits: for the more common insects, just before the fruit-buds open and just aftcr the blossoms fall. Never spray a tree when in blossom.
The foregoing leads to the remark that the man who sprays must think for himself, and so he must if he will be successful in any under- taking. With the special pumps and prepared insecticides now on the market the labor of successfully combating nearly all injurious insects is much reduced to what it was when our fathers used green paint applied with a hearth-broom as acure-all. Science has now perfected insecti- cides, which do not wash off when thoroughly dried on the leaves, which is a boon to the fruit grower. Among these we find Aiboneta, one of the very best. This insecticide is growing in popularity each year and is now used exclusively in many of the largest parks in the country. For plant lice and soft-bodied sucking insects, we have a specially prepared soap. For scab and blight, Fresno is most effective. We carry in stock the very best and most complete line of insecticides. Our stock of fungicides, spray pumps, hose and nozzles, is most com-
plete. Protect your shrubs, plants and trees from disease and insect attacks, Full directions accompany all goods sold by us. AIBONETA.

“< Simplex Barrel Spray Pump
WITH MECHANICAL AGITATOR AND BRASS WORKING PARTS.
THE POPULAR ORCHARD SPRAYER.
It is estimated by the highest scientific authorities that the annual Loss in CRors from injury by 1NsEcTs and fungi amounts to about $500- 000,000 and that 75 per cent. of the amount, or $375,000,000, can be saved by SPRAYING THE TREES.
Not only is the rruit injured, but the TREES will, if not sprayed in two or three years, gradually die from the insects, which weaken them so they will perish. It is therefore a NECESSITY to SPRAY, not only to preserve the fruit, but the TREES themselves.
Proper Spraying Apparatus are very necessary to every Fruit Grower and, if a little care is taken of them, they will last for years and pay for themselves many times over. The one great thing which is absolutely necessary for Orchard work is am ef- ficlent agitator, without this, not only do the valves and nozzles be come clogged, but the poison settles at the bot- tom of the barrel. This causes an uneven applica- tion of the liquid, it being too strong at the begin- ning, which will be apt to damage the foliage, and at the close so weak it will be worthless, like spraying with clear water. Our New Automatic Agitator keeps the water in a perfect boil by the working of the agitators. It is impossible for the poison to settle, but it is thoroughly mixed with the water, which is churned into a froth as soon as you commence pumping. This AGITATOR is the only one made which will do the work perfectly. All other pumps have agitators which move one way only, or a hose thatreturns a stream into the barrel. This agitates in one spot, which is useless in the application of poisons, which will always settle at bottom of the barre! if the water is not churned and kept in a perfect tumult to agi- tate the solution where it most needs it—at the bottom and around the suction strainer. These pumps have the only PERFECT AGI- TATOR in the world which is mechanical, operated by the motion of the handle. This pump can be easily placed on an oi] or whiskey barrel, as it has an adjustable attachment to fit top or side of any barrel. The air chamber is large and insures a constant stream, which will continue some time after you stop pumping. It is very easily worked and durable, as the working paris are made of BRASS, cylinder BRASS LINED, piston rod BRASS CASED and plunger and valves are SOLID BRASS. It is arranged so it can be used with one or two © streams at the same time, spraying two rows at once, or one side each
