but fmall toward the Stalk, and full at the Eye. 
It is a very excellent Pear when juft ripened. 
TJAHIS is the Time of reaping the Advan- 
tages of a Year’s Care and Trouble; but 
without a very watchful Eye, the Gardener will 
hhave labour’d to feed Infects, not to fupply the 
‘Table. .We have already {poke of fome of the larger _ 
kind of Devourers. But the Wall-Fruit at this 
"Time, efpecially fuch as grows againft old Walls, 
is vaftly liable to a {mall but numerous Ene- 
any, the Ant. This little Creature lives in the 
“Earth of ill-manag’d Borders, and lurks in the 
*Cracks of Walls, where the Mortar has fallen out, 
and in old Nail-holes. The Gardener fhould ob- 
4erve which is the Cafe, in the prefent Inftance, 
whether they come up from the Ground, or live in 
the Cracks and Crevices of the Wall. If they 
come up from the Ground, let him open a little 
‘Trench with a Hoe juft under the Wall, and |} 
pour into it a Mixture of Brine and Soot. 
This is very hateful to the Ant, and will be 
far from damaging the Tree; for it will ferve as 
a Manure to improve its Vigour. | 
_. Let him in the other Cafe make a good 
-Quantity of the fame Mixture, and taking it in 
a Pan with a Painter’s Brufh in his Hand, let 
him go over the whole Length of the Walls, 
-obferving where they lodge, and dafhing in a 
good deal of the Mixture.in fome Places, and | 
- N°, 3. 
rubbing it on with the Bruth in others. 
Let him look well for every Crack and Hole, 
and in this Manner he will deftroy a good Num- 
ber of them, and diflodge many more, who will © 
forfake a Place fo cifagreeabe, and never re- 
turn. 
“As he goes along, let hith here and there pull 
off a decay’d Peach or Nectarine that is half 
eaten, and lay it carefully. upon fome of the 
Branches. | 
The Ants will gather to rife rather than the 
entire Fruit which is growing; and two or thrée 
Times a Day thefe Fruits may be taken off full 
of them, and thrown into a Pan of Water. pe 
“Ants will immediately get off, and the Fruit may 
be laid on for more, thefe being left to drown. 
This is the beft Method the Gardener can fol- 
low, who has the Care of an old ill-managed 
Wall ; but we fhall in the fucceeding Numbers 
inform him how to prevent the Evil. 
The tloles are to be ftopped by new pointing 
the whole Wall, and the Borders are to be 
dreffed with a peculiar Kind of Manure. | 
Thefe Things we fhall direct more particularly 
when we come to the Months they concern 
and by this Means the Fruit will be perfectly fe- 
cured from fuch Devourers..
