A note in Spring timt of Fumigations, 
H Ere is to be underftood and noted, that in the Spring time 
oii«ly,when trees do begin to put forth leaves and blolfbms, 
ye nauft then alwaies take heed unto them, for to defend them from 
the frofi ( if there come any) with Fumigations or fmokes, made 
on the wind fide of your Orchards (or under your trees) with draw, 
hey, driechaffe, drieOxdung, orfaw-duft dried in an Oven, or 
Tanners Oze dried likewife, or Calbanumy or old Ihooes, thatch of 
houfes, or haire,and fuch like, one of thefe to be mingled with the 
other : all thefe be good againft the Froft in the fpring time, and 
fpecially good againft the Eaft wind, which breedeth (as feme fay) 
the Caterpiller worme. 
Fo defend trees from the Caterpiller, 
QOrae do defend their trees from the Caterpller, when the blof- 
i^foming time is dried ( if there be no froft) by calling of water, 
or fait water, every fecond or third day upon their trees (with in- 
firuments for the fame, as with Squires of Wood or Braire,or filch 
like) for in keeping of them moift, the Caterpiller cannot breed 
thereon : this experience have I known proved of late to be good. 
For to conclude, he that will fet or plant trees, mull not palTe for 
any paines, but have a pleafiire and delight therein, in remembring 
the great profit that commeth thereby : Againft fcarcenefie of
