SYRINGE. This is a most useful imple- 

 ment for impelling water over plants in 

 pots, wall-trees, &c. Bead's syringes are 

 excellent. 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. The accompanying sketch 

 represents the water passing 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.
