"AN IMPROVED COMPOUND OR PREPARATION FOR THE TREATMENT OF PLANTS,
TREES, AND VEGETABLES SUFFERING FROM DISEASE OR BLIGHT, AND IN THE MODE
OF APPLYING THE SAME."
This Invention consists of an improved compound or remedy which is applicable
to the prevention or cure of vines affected by the well known phylloxera, and is
also applicable to other plants, trees, or vegetables suffering from disease or
blight.
This compound or preparation consists of sulphide of carbon, guano, tobacco
water, sulphur, cows blood, turpentine, and sugar. These several ingredients are
well mixed or incorporated together, and when the disease occurs at the root of the
plant a quantity of the compound or mixture may be dug in around the root of
the plant. When intended to be applied to the leaves or branches of the plants the
compound is mixed with water, and may then be applied by means of a syringe. :

"AN IMPROVED COMPOUND OR PREPARATION FOR THE TREATMENT OF PLANTS, 5
TREES, AND VEGETABLES SUFFERING FROM DISEASE OR BLIGHT, AND IN THE MODE
OF APPLYING THE SAME,"
My said Invention relates to an improved compound or preparation which is
particularly applicable to the prevention of the disease in vines known as phylloxera,
or to the cure of vines affected by the said disease, but may also be applied to the 1
treatment of other plants, trees, or vegetables suffering from disease or blight.
This compound or preparation consists of sulphide of carbon, guano, tobacco
water, sulphur, cows blood, turpentine, and sugar, employed by preference in about
the following proportions, which may however be slightly varied, videlicet:-
Sulphide of carbon, about
Guano,
about
Tobacco water,
about
Sulphur
about
Cows blood,
about
Turpentine,
about
Sugar, moist,
about

These several ingredients are well mixed or incorporated together, and where the
disease occurs at the root of the plant a quantity (such as can conveniently be applied)
of the compound or preparation may be dug in around the root of the plant.
When 2
intended for application to the leaves or branches of the plants the compound is
mixed with water so as to form a fluid or semi fluid, and may then be applied by
means of a syringe, care being taken that the mixture is well shaken before use.
It is found advantageous in the treatment of vines to plant red Indian corn
between the vines. On the first appearance of the insect or blight in the vine 3
sulphur in powder should be blown with a bellows upon the vine, the application
being repeated at each appearance.
Having now described and particularly ascertained the nature of my said Inven-
tion, and the manner in which the same is or may be used or carried into effect, I
would observe in conclusion that what I consider to be novel and original, and 3.
therefore claim as the Invention secured to me by the herein before in part recited
Letters Patent is,―
The improved compound or preparation for the treatment of plants, trees, and
vegetables suffering from disease or blight, the said compound or preparation being
produced and applied substantially as hereinbefore described.
In witness whereof, I, the said Anton Tyan, have to this my Specification
set my hand and seal, the Eleventh day of May, One thousand eight
hundred and eighty.
