FRUIT-TREES. 71 



THERE have been many things pre- 

 icribed to prevent and cure blights, none 

 of which have yet been found effectual. 

 However, there are a variety of things 

 that are great helps ; and it is my opinion, 

 .the reafon of their mifcarriage is owing 

 to the directions not being duly obferved. 



"I SHALL give a receipt that has done 

 great things; and where the directions 

 have been minutely followed, have never 

 failed, as I could hear o 



A Preparation to prevent 'Blights. 



PROVIDE two tubs that will hold two 

 hogf heads each, if the garden is large and 

 a great number of trees ; if a fmall garden, 

 tubs that hold one hogmead each will be 

 fufficient. 



PUT into one of the tubs two pecks of 

 x:lote lime ; fill up the tub with clear wa- 

 Jer, flirring it up from the bottom.
