SYRINGA, MOCK. Philade'lphus corona'rius. 



SYRINGE. This is a most useful implement for im- 

 pelling water over plants in pots, wall-trees, &c. When 

 the object is merely to refresh the plants, the operator 

 should stand at some distance from the plants, so that 

 the water may spread and fall upon them like a shower. 

 But if aphides have to be destroyed, he may be closer 

 to the plants, and drive forth the water with greater 

 force. Some nozzles are made so as to allow the water 

 to pass through many minute holes ; but the syringe is 

 sold with spare nozzles, so as to deliver the water in a 

 greater body ; and with elbows, so that the opposite sides 

 of plants in greenhouses may be syringed without moving 

 them. See ENGINE.
