CASCADE, or WATERFALL. This, says Loudon, 
is an obvious improvement where a running stream passes 
a demesne, and is to be formed by first construct- 
ing а bank of masonry, presenting an inclined plane to the 
current, and rendering it impervious to water by the use 
of cement; and next by varying the ridge of the bank, and 
of the river below it, with fragments of rock, so 
chosen and placed as not to present а character foreign to 
what Nature may be supposed to have produced there. 
The ground frequently requires to be raised at’ 
such scenes, but may be harmonised by plantations. Where 
Cascade, or Waterfall— continued, 
running water is conducted in the forms belonging to the 
geometric style of gardening, Cascades are constructed 
in the form of crescents, flights of steps, or wavy slopes, 
all of which produce excellent effects when appropriately 
introduced.

CASEARIA (named after J. Casearius, who assisted 
Rheede in the * Hortus Malabarieus"). Orn. Samydacec. 
A genus of stove evergreen trees, with astringent and 
medicinal properties, but of no ornamental value. There 
are numerous species. 
CASHEW NUT. See Anacardium occidentale. 
CASIMIROA (named after Cardinal Casimiro Gomez). 
ORD. Rutacee. A genus, allied to Skimmia, containing 
a couple of species, the one hitherto introduced being an 
evergreen greenhouse tree, succeeding well in rich friable 
loam with perfect drainage. It is very likely that this 
fine fruiting tree will be extensively grown when better 
known, as it would probably succeed in the open air in 
the Chanel Islands, in the south and south-west of Eng- 
land, and in Ireland. We have hitherto failed in striking. 
cuttings, as also in finding a stock on which it will graft. 
It may, however, be readily raised from seeds. :

thrive best in peat or sandy loam. Propagated by drei
