Two years ago the Legislature of California established a new Court, which has since been one of the busiest in the State. It is the Small Claims Court, and its object is to meet the needs of poor people who cannot afford the customary legal procedure. There are no lawyers, and no amount' in dispute may exceed -£6 O. The Judge simply hears the arguments, gives his decision, and that ends the matter. The Court is largely used for collecting small debts, and less than one per cent, of its ■ rulings have been appealed against. Over 5000 cases have already been handled. treated, that the centre of the plant requires light, and air. Prune strong-growing shoot 3 lightly; cut back weak shoots hard. Never leave in-growing shoots. If a few extra-fine blooms for exhi- | bitionis the main object, one must cut j away a large quantity of what would be really good wood for an ordinary display. The whole plant must be thinned, and only a few of the best growths near the base retained. These should be cut back to three or four eyes. 1 If quantity is desired, remove all thin wood, and then shorten the strong ones to about half their length. If any side branches are thus retained, these should be shortened' to two or three buds according to vigour. Standard roses, in the main,, require similar pruning to dwarf bushes.
