AS A FRUIT PICKER IT HAS NO SUPERIOR. It is made of Heavy Galvanized Wire, and easily adjusted to a pole, it has been sold for several year3, and the demand (as it is becoming known) is steadily increasing. The difficulty of detaching fruit and securing it unbruised is apparent to every one so engaged. This overcomes the difficulty, and saves the finest fruit, which commands the highest prices. THE DOW PRICE AT WHICH IT IS SOLO Brings it within the reach of those who have but little fruit to gather as well as those who have large quantities.. Price per dozen, $6.00.
