Cassandra (Leather Leal).—^A genus of small native shinibs, closely allied to the Andromedas, and of the " Heath ; Usually propa- gated by layers or dividing the plants as taken from the bogs and low grounds, where they are to be obtained in abundance. Cassia (Senna).—A genus of some two hundred species of shrubs and herbs. Very few of the species are in cultivation, or are they of any special interest. AH are readily propagated by seed. The ligneous species may be increased by cuttings of the half-ripened shoots under glass. Castanea (Chestnut).—A genus of a few species, but of many varies ties. Propagated by planting the nuts as soon as ripe in the autumn, or preserving them in sii'l ai'l stoi'el in a cold place until spring, then planting as du-ected lor Hickoiy-nuts. Varieties are increased by grafting on seedling stocks—splice grafting being the preferable.
