The seeds are generally sawn from the beginning of February to the beginning of April, and in about three weeks from their being sow the seedlings show above ground. When the plants attain the age of ons or two years they are taken from the beds, and transplanted into land rich in gross and fern vegetation, the soil being. prepared by digging to the depth of about a foot. No manera is used. When
the trees are about six years old the first crop of bark is obtained, the seasDA Leing from March to May. The process of decortication is simple, and consists
branches nad twigs, making two longis merely of stripping the tree of all
tudinal slits, one on either side of the runk, dividing the bark tau lengths by making circular incisions, and the knife. The outer skin of the bark is bark is then loosened by a curved kora
removed, and after being allowed to dry. for twenty-four hours the bark is sent on to market. Cassia is nood in the preparation of food and confectionery, and for medicinal and other purposes. Mr Ford has secured a large number of young casain plante from the districts | he visited, and these will be available for distribution to other colonies that may wish to attempt the cultivation of caesia, and for experiments in Hong kong.
