 The ILLINOIS FIRST GREAT APPLE SHOW and 63rd 
 Annual Convention of the Illinois State Horticultural Society 
 will be held at the Sherman Hotel in Chicago, Nov.'19, 20, 21, 
 22, 1918. For 63 years this Society, composed of volunteer mem¬ 
 bers, has stood in the front rank of Horticultural organizations 
 in the United States for the advancement in all Horticultural 
 lines. Five conventions are held annually in the State, one by 
 the Northern Illinois Horticultural Society in the Northern dis¬ 
 trict, one by the Central Illinois Horticultural Society in the 
 Central district, one by the Southern Illinois Horticultural So¬ 
 ciety in the Southern district, a summer meeting by the State 
 Society and the Annual winter Convention. 
 
 The ILLINOIS FIRST GREAT APPLE SHOW is a de¬ 
 parture toward educating the general public in the Apple indus¬ 
 try of Illinois, together with the use of apples in the conservation 
 program of the Government, and the necessity of apples as food 
 in healthful living. Illinois is noted primarily as an agricul¬ 
 tural state and the fact that this state grows on an average of 
 millions of barrels annually of high quality apples, equal in 
 flavor and quality to the best produced in the United States and 
 of the highest type in appearance, is not so generally known. 
 There is probably no section of the United States where orchard¬ 
 ing is conducted with greater skill and with more remuneration 
 than in Illinois. Southern and Southwestern Illinois comprise 
 the great apple producing section and yet the very highest type 
 of apples, in quality and appearance, can be produced in prac¬ 
 tically every county in the State. 
 
 Membership in the Society. 
 
 The Illinois State Horticultural Society has about 500 mem¬ 
 bers from every section of the State. The Society has received 
 a small annual appropriation from the State Legislature to assist

 tions is published in a substantial cloth bound Volume of about 
 500 pages, giving a complete account of the papers, addresses 
 and discussions at the conventions. In connection with the 
 ILLINOIS FIRST GREAT APPLE SHOW this will be the 
 52nd consecutive annual report published. These reports are 
 a mine of information and experience freely given by the ad¬ 
 vanced Horticulturists in their various lines of work that edu¬ 
 cationally are invaluable to the horticultural interests of the 
 State, both scientific and practical. Modern methods of orchard 
 practice in Illinois has been developed and built up thru exper¬ 
 ience gained and recorded at the various conventions. 
 
 Cost of Membership. 
 
 Life membership in the State Horticultural Society costs

Hotel Sherman. 
 
 The Home of the 
 
 ILLINOIS FIRST GREAT APPLE SHOW 
 
 The management of the Apple Show were very fortunate in 
 securing the second floor of the Hotel Sherman, so splendidly 
 equipped for holding the ILLINOIS FIRST GREAT APPLE 
 SHOW. 
 
 Hotel Sherman is a notable example of progress. 
 
 Its name is interwoven with Chicago history. Yet it is one 
 of the newest Chicago Hotels. The list of visitors who have 
 made Hotel Sherman their Chicago home include the great names 
 of America. 
 
 Hotel Sherman is the center of the city’s life—the daily 
 scene of representative, business and social gatherings. 
 
 The present Hotel Sherman is the fifth of the name to oc¬ 
 cupy the well-known site. It is new—a three million dollar 
 master-piece of hotel construction, built on a scale of excellence 
 absolutely abreast of the best that the world affords. 
 
 General Arrangements and service include details of com¬ 
 fort omitted from many hotels more expensive but less carefully 
 managed. 
 
 Home of the Famous College Inn. 
 
 Hotel Sherman is the home of the famous College Inn, cele¬ 
 brated alike for good food and clever entertainment. Here orig¬ 
 inated the famous Ice Skating Exhibitions—enjoyed at lunch¬ 
 eon, dinner or after-the-play. 
 
 To Out-of-Town Motorists. 
 
 Good concrete roads lead into Chicago from almost every 
 direction. They invite a week-end trip with Hotel Sherman as 
 headquarters. Garage nearby.

 State in the Union where fruit is grown. 
 
 Hardie Power Pumps 
 
 Are noted for their high pressure, large capacity, freedom from delicate 
 or complicated parts. They stand the wear and tear of high pressure spray¬ 
 ing as no other make of pump will—And in case of accident the parts are 
 easily and cheaply replaced. 
 
 THE IDEAL ENGINE—used on all our large models is without ques¬ 
 tion the best engine made in this country—Light—compact—strong and 
 long on Horse Power, with no delicate or complicated parts. They are BUILT 
 LIKE A WATCH and cost little more than inferior makes.

 on steep hillsides where you could not use a common machine.

Secretary’s Notice. 
 
 To the Members of the Illinois State Horticultural Society 
 and Fruit Growers of Illinois:— 
 
 The Secretary wishes to call your special attention to the 
 splendid line of advertising which this Premium List carries and 
 remind you that the people who are advertising in this Premium 
 List and the growers who have listed their names are the people 
 who have made it possible to hold the ILLINOIS FIRST 
 GREAT APPLE SHOW. 
 
 The funds available to the Horticultural Society were not 
 sufficient to put on the ILLINOIS FIRST GREAT APPLE 
 SHOW and it was necessary to secure advertising for the Pre¬ 
 mium List and Directory and sell space for special exhibits of 
 machinery, orchard accessories, etc., at the Show, to raise suffi¬ 
 cient funds to make the Apple Show a representative Show of 
 the apple industry of Illinois. This has been accomplished and 
 thru the loyal support of these advertisers. 
 
 These advertisers have contributed their part to the success 
 of the Show and it is the duty of every Horticulturist in Illinois 
 to show his appreciation by supporting them in every possible 
 way and your Secretary hopes and believes that you will favor 
 them in your business.

 WARD PUMP CO., Rockford, Illinois. Savoy, Illinois, May 13, 1918. 
 
 Gentlemen:-— 
 
 We have been giving the spray guns a test, and we are greatly pleased with the results. I regret 
 that we have not more of them. The dezice of opening the valve, I refer to the hand lever, is the best 
 I have seen so far. The difficulty with a great many guns is not that they will not do the work but with 
 the man behind the gun making a fire engine out of it instead of a spray machine. With your lever for 
 adjusting the spray it is not easy for the operator to do the wrong thing. It is easier to do the right 
 thing than the wrong. If he opens it up too much the regular pressure will tire him out. I congratulate 
 you on what seems to me a very successful and easy to operate spray gun, one that is fool proof. 
 
 Yours very truly, H. M. DUNLAP.

How to Make More 
 on Apples 
 
 If you have heretofore been very 
 carefully packing your apples for 
 the highest market price, try once 
 the Bushel Shipping Basket— 
 
 The Universal Package 
 
 When you return from market you 
 will probably have the highest 
 market price in addition to this 
 when you figure how much you 
 have saved on packages and packing 
 you will find that your net profit is 
 greatly increased.

 ECONOMY CODE 
 
 F ROM observation of orchards set out by the earliest in¬ 
 habitants in this state, we are convinced that with prop¬ 
 er cultivation and spraying, apples unsurpassed in quan¬ 
 tity and unexcelled in quality can be produced on thousands of 
 acres of Illinois soil that now are comparatively unproductive. 
 
 
 Yours for better apples, Illinois, 
 
 Apples with a flavor, Illinois, 
 
 Apples red and yellow, 
 
 Apples ripe and mellow, 
 
 Apples that are luscious, Illinois. 
 
 Apples that will please, Illinois, 
 
 Apples we may ship across the seas, Illinois, 
 Apples that will bring us treasure, 
 
 In the very fullest measure, 
 
 Apples for our health, Illinois. 
 
 
 We believe that the grower of tempting, luscious apples is 
 as necessary to the health of the people of this country as the 
 physician.
