plants in frames, and under hand-glasses 

 turned over them for the purpose, is as 

 follows : " Dissolve a table-spoonful of 

 saltpetre in a pint of water ; take pieces 

 of the coarsest brown paper, six inches 

 wide and ten inches long, steep them 

 thoroughly in the solution, dry them, and 

 keep till wanted. To fumigate, roll one 

 of the pieces into a pipe like a cigar, 

 leaving the hollow half an inch in 

 diameter, which fill with tobacco, twist 

 one end and stick it into the soil, light 

 the other, and it will burn gradually away 

 for an hour or more." 



Tobacco-smoke should not be admitted 

 to fruit trees when in bloom, nor when 

 the fruit is ripening, as it imparts to 

 them a flavour. See FUMIGATING and 

 FUMIGATOR. 



Tobacco -water is usually made from 

 v.-hat is known as Tobacconists Liquor, 

 being a liquor expressed by them, and 

 full of ammonia and the acrid oil of the 

 plant. To every gallon of this add five 

 gallons of water. This mixture with 

 Read's garden -syringe may be sprinkled 

 over the trees, putting it on with the 

 finest rose, and being careful to wet all 

 the leaves. This operation is to be per- 

 formed only in the hottest sunshine, as 

 the effect is then much greater than when 

 the weather is dull ; five gallons of liquor 

 reduced as above stated cleanses seven- 

 teen peach and nectarine-trees, averag- 

 ing seventeen feet in length, and twelve 

 in height. The black, glutinous aphis, 

 provincially called blight, so destructive 

 to the cherry-trees, and, in fact, every 

 species of aphis, is destroyed in the same 

 way with equal facility. The grubs which 

 attack the apricot may be destroyed 

 almost instantly by immersing the leaves 

 infested m this liquor. 



As the tobacconist's liquor cannot be 

 obtained always, tobacco-water may be, in 

 such case, made by pouring half a gallon 

 of boiling water upon one ounce of strong 

 tobacco, and allowing it to remain until 

 cold, and then strained.
