of the crown, care being taken to cut so as to lay the foundation of 
a large globular head. In all subsequent spring prunings the main 
branches should be cut back to within two joints of the previous 
size pot, and in this way plants may be kept in vigorous health for 
many years. 
I have been induced to enter somewhat minutely into the culti- 
year’s pruning. After well soaking the old ball of soil turn the 
plant out of its pot, and with a sharp suitable implement cut off 
.1 inches all round the ball, and 3 inches off the bottom above the 
drainage, ffhis will allow of the plant being placed into the same 
vation of this Cassia from remarks made by a correspondent a few 
weeks since, in which he hinted that it would not flower satisfac¬ 
torily in pots. If grown in the way described above it will be 
found to flower profusely, both as bushes and standards.-—J. II. W.
