This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1825 edition. Excerpt: ...foregoing chapter, how the worms begin and continue to shew signs of maturity. This last day they attain perfection, which may be ascertained by the following indications: 1st. When, on putting some leaves on the wickers, the insects get upon the leaves without eating them, and rear their heads, as if in search of something else. 2nd. When, on looking at them horizontally, the light shines through them, and they appear of a whitish-yellow transparent colour. 3rd. When numbers of the worms, which were fastened to the inside of the edges of the wickers, and straightened, now get upon the edge3, and move slowly along, instinct urging them to seek change of place. 4th.

When these signs appear in any of the insects, every thing should be prepared for their rising, that those worms that are ready to rise may not lose their strength and silk, in seeking for the support they require. 2. First Preparation for forming the Hedge, or Espalier. To avoid the loss that might accrue from delay, there should be fagots or bundles, ready made, of dry turnip-plants, or common broom, or clean bean-stalks, or, in short, of any bush, or brushwood well cleaned, that may answer.
