AS A FRUIT PICKER IT HAS NO SUPERIOR. It is made of Heavy Galvanized Wire, and meen Adjusted to a Pole. It has been sold forseveral years, and the demand ‘as it is becoming known) is steadily increasing. The difficulty of detaching fruit and securing it unbruised is apparent to yew one so engaged. This overcomes the difficulty, and saves the finest fruit, which commands the highest prices. pa THE LOW PRICE AT WHICH IT IS SOLD brings it within the reach of those who have but little fruit to gather as well as those who have large quantities.
