Vol. 3, 



en, R bushy unseemly plant .may be expected. 

 Pruning should be carefully attended to, both as 

 regards the top and roots. The top may be prun- 

 ed into any form to please the fancy. Pruning the 

 roots is a matter of much importance, both as re- 

 spects the growth and the flowering of the plant. 

 We have a beautiful and varied Pomegranate, 

 which in 1840, gave so few flowers that we found 

 that if some e.xpedient were not adopted, it would 

 be of little value. In the autumn of that year, we 

 took it out of the bo.x and found that the roots had 

 increased so much tliere was no more room for 

 them to grow. We took away about one half of 

 them and replaced it in the bo.x willi new earth. 

 In the spring of '1 1 , the leaves and new wood came 

 out vigorously. In June it commenced blossom- 

 ing, and notwithstanding the dry season and fre- 

 quent neglect of watering, (it is a thirsty plant, ) 

 it continued in full bloom until September, pro. 

 ducing hundreds of its large elegant crimson blos- 

 soms. We last fall pruned a sickly Geranium in 

 the same way, and a like good effect was produced. 

 This root pruning should be performed when the 

 plant is not growing, and it should be kept shaded 

 for a few days until the new roots begin to strike.
