healthy one, in the manner of inoculation, will com- 
municate the disease ; the proprietors have, there- 
fore, no doubt of the contagion bemg spread by- the. 
farina of the blossoms of infected Trees, as the first 
notice we have of it is the premature ripening of 
the fruit; and, it being an established faet, that the 
sap has a regular circulation through the branches, 
leaves, and fruit, the fruit being first affected, com- — 
municates it to the Tree ; and, when once the Tree 
is affected, no human means can restore it: for, if 
any thing would effect it, taking the buds from a dis- 
eased Tree, and inoculating them on a healthy 
stock, would do it; but, instead of being restored, 
it communicates the infection to the healthy stock. 
The only possible remedy, and one which must be 
obvious to every one, is the removing every diseased 
Tree from the Orchard or Garden. 
By attending to the system laid down in the fol- 
lowing directions, the proprietors have been en- 
abled to keep the Trees in their Nursery perfectly 
healthy, and to have their bearing Trees produce 
as fine fruit as ever they did before the disease in 
Peach Trees commenced, which began in the State 
of New-York in the year 1801. 
DIRECTIONS. ° 
Let every ‘Tree which has been known to pro- 
duce its fruit prematurely be immediately removed ; 
and, if it is desired to have a Peach Tree planted in 
the same place where a diseased Tree has been re-, 
moved from, let a large hole be dug, so as to remove 
all the roots, that the roots of the new planted Tree 
may not, in one season, come in contact with them.. 
After all the diseased Trees are removed, letthe  ® 
greatest attention in summer be paid to the ripening 
of the fruit; and where fruit is found to ripen two, 
three, or four weeks before the usual time, you 
may conclude that the Tree has taken the infection ;
