then be lifted out of the place, and if they require it 
the plants may be changed into a fresh pot, as plants 
may be shifted any time during the summer; thus 
they will get established in their pots before frost ap¬ 
pears, and their growth will be more regular, and they 
will be in better condition to keep through Winter. 
Such as are planted in the Garden should be taken up 
early, and when potted, kept shady and out of the 
wind as much as possible, for it dries them as much 
as the sun at this season of the year. By this means, 
they will be in a good condition for removing into the 
house on the approach of frost. 
Any large tree growing plant as Pomegranate, La- 
gerstroemia, Oleander, and any other shrubby Plants 
that are in very large pots or tubs can be taken out 
of their pots in the Spring, or in Summer after flow¬ 
ering, and have their Balls of earth and roots reduced 
to the size required, and planted in fresh soil in smalle 
pots. At the same time prune their heads and bran¬ 
ches in proportion. By thus reducing their superfluity 
of growth, and confining their roots moderately, and 
supplying them with manure and water, during their 
growth and flowering in Summer, and keeping them 
rather dry in Winter, they will flower more abundantly.
