SYEINGE. This is a most useful 

 implement for impelling water over 

 plants in pots, wall-trees, &c. Read'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.
