The Bladder Senna, a native af the Sauth of France and 
Italy, produces a profufion of bloom from June to Auguft, 
when its inflated pods pleafe from the fingularity of their ap- 
pearance ; on thefe accounts, it is one of the moft common 
flowering fhrubs cultivated in gardens and plantations. 
_ Tt is propagated by fowing its feeds any time jn the fpring 
“in a bed of common earth; and when the plants are come 
“up, they muft be kept clear from weeds, and the Michaelmas 
* following they fhould be tranfplanted either into nurfery- 
** rows, or in the places where they are defigned to remaiDi 
** for if they are let grow in the feed-bed too long, they at@ 
** very fubjeé ta have tap roots, which render them unfit fot 
* tranfplanting ; nor fhould thefe trees be fuffered to remait 
** too long in the nurfery before they are tranfplanted, for th¢ 
* fame reafon.” Miller’s Gard. DiZ. a 
_ We have learned by experience, that a very wet foil will 
prave fatal to thefe fhrubs, : |
