 that I expected the trees would have been totally deftroyed. 

 In February following, I had the wall well-wafhed with 

 foap and urine mixed, as alfo the items and branches of the 

 trees. (This muft be done before the buds begin to open, and 

 in the forepart of the day, that the trees may get dry before 

 the evening ; but never in frofty weather). Afterwards,

 trees with clear lime-water, as directed in Chapters III. and 

 XXVIII. Thefe trees are now in a perfectly healthy ftate ; 

 but in fome gardens, where thefe precautions have been neg- 

 lected, many of the trees are entirely killed.
