Washing wall fruit-trees in the course of 
the winter, with soap-suds, does much 
aood : but the using of pernicious mixtures, 
such as tobacco, brimstone, lime-water, &c. 
in order to destroy insects at the time of 
fructification, is very injurious to the tender 
fruit and foliage. 
The author has found from experience, 
that clean soft water alone, answers a much 
better purpo.se, if sprinkled occasionally 
over the trees, with an engine^i^ at the de- 
ciinino’ sun. 
FIGS.

* A patent has been lately obtained by Mr. Charles Seward, of 
liancaster, for the invention of a garden water engine of a peculiar 
construction. The author has had the opportunity of trying its me- 
rits, which he found to be superior.
