 Look carefully to your young fruit trees 

 which were planted in the fpring, obferv- 

 ing to water them in dry weather; and, if you 

 obferve their leaves beginning to curl up, you 

 fliould water them gently all over their 

 branches: this may alfo be pradifed to great 

 advantage on old trees, when you find their 

 leaves are curling ; but it mufl not be done in 

 the heat of the day, left the fun fhould fcorch 

 their leaves -, nor too late in the evening, efpe- 

 cially if the nights are cold. Where you ob- 

 ferve the fruit trees to be greatly infefled with 

 infecls, you fhould fteep a good quantity of 

 Tobacco ftalks in water, with which the 

 trees (hould be waflied \ which, if carefully 

 done, will deftroy the infefe, and not do 

 any injury to the trees ; or if the leaves which 

 are much curled are taken off, and feme To- 

 bacco duft thrown on the branches, it will de- 

 ftroy the infeds, and may in a day or two after 

 be waihed off again.

 laft fummer, and have fucceeded, fljould hava 

 the ftocks cut down to three or four inches a-

 was not done the former month) ; for now the 

 buds will begin to llioot if the ftocks are cut 

 down in time, otherwife the buds mifcarry or
