and, as it gives you notice one whole season previ-- 
ous to its power of spreading the contagion, you: 
can, by removing it, prevent its injuring the other’ 
Trees; or if the tree has taken the infection when 
in blossom, and has. lost its fruit before it ripened, 
it will show that it has become diseased by pushing 
out small, slender shoots, and frequently in bunches 
of.a pale yellow colour, from the body and branches; 
and by observing the same appearance on those 
Trees: that have ripened their fruit prematurely, 
you will soon be able to distinguish the Trees that 
are diseased from those which are in a healthy state, 
and by removing them before they blossom, prevent 
their spreading the infected farina.. If your Peach 
Orchard, or Garden, where you have Peach Trees. 
growing, is contiguous to a neighbour’s who has dis- 
eased Trees, it will be necessary to prevail on him: 
to remove them, or they will injure your's. 
To have thrifty Peace Trees, and fine fruit, the 
ground should every year be kept cultivated, by: 
planting it with corn, potatoes, or other vegetables ; 
and, every autumn or spring, have some rotten 
manure dug in around the Trees.. Peach Trees re- 
maining more than one year in grass or sod ground 
become unthrifty and yellow ; itis, therefore, easier 
to distinguish the diseased from healthy Trees in 
cultivated ground. . ay i
