Spiders (Acari .) — This tree is liable to be 
attacked by the Spiders. 
For their Destruction. — Wall trees and 
those in houses may be treated as directed for 
Peaches and Nectarines. It must be observed not 
to apply the Mixture to injure the fruit. If it is 
essentially necessary to have recourse to it in 
summer time, brush it on the leaves with a soft 
painter’s brush, as mentioned on the Grape Vine. 
Should the tree be attacked by the Aphides, 
apply the first Mixture as fine as possible with 
the engine ; or for those in houses, smoking might 
be had recourse to, in the manner described for 
forcing, or glass houses. 
If attacked by the Coccus Vilus, as described 
on the Vine, or by the Coccus Adonidum, de- 
scribed on Gooseberries, the stems and branches 
might be brushed over after the leaf is fallen, 
at the back end of the year, or in the winter, 
with the Mixture (No. 3.) If annoyed by the 
Small Scale described on the Pear, fH>ply the 
same Mixture carefully twice in the month of 
May, and the latter end of June.
