ing to the state of the weather. These 
will again come in for the first blooming, 
and may be started as before early in the in- 
coming year. The later flowered plants, if 
it is desired to keep them back, should in the 
autumn be placed ina north house, or other 
situation where they will not get more heat 
in the night all through the season than just 
sufficient to keep out frost. They will not 
euffer from this treatment, as they are not 
subject to mildew. By being thus retarded 
through the winter and spring, these Acacias 
ean be kept back until the beginning of 
May. It is well to retard a portion of the 
as late as may be, as they are much 
more useful in succession. After flower- 
ing, cut well back to within six or eight 
inches of where they were shortened to the 
preceding year. This will tend to keep 
them from getting too large, and will 
vent their becoming bare of leaves. When 
they have broken, 4 portion may be 
moved on into larger pots, and some kept 
for the season in those they already occupy, 
and assisted whilst making growth with 
manure-water. Treat through the autumn 
and winter as before, and at the time of 
tying be careful to keep them in regular
