THE FLORIST. 



erect habit, it is worth a place in every collection, if that collection 

 consists but of two. 



In forming the subjoined list, I was much indebted to a correspondent 

 of the Florist in 1853 (the same year by the bye that Mr. Powell 

 described and gave a figure of Cox's Orange Pippin, and anticipated all 

 that has been said of that Apple in the last two years.) The writer I 

 speak of signed himself " Mediterraneus ; " and I would advise every 

 amateur Camellia grower to consult that article, though, for myself, I 

 should also like to consult the writer's collection. It divided the colours 

 into classes — a convenient method, and worth following, though I have 

 not exactly copied his, nor do I entirely agree with the colours to which 

 he assigned some varieties — reticulata for instance. It will no doubt 

 surprise you that I have omitted that now celebrated name, reticulata, 

 from the list ; but it was purposely omitted, for I possessed the variety 

 at its first introduction, near thirty years ago, when it was ten guineas 

 a plant, and know its habit. In a large specimen, it is extremely 

 effective, but it is of awkward growth, many leaves having no bud in 

 the axil, and so it rarely forms a small bush well. It should be spread 

 against an expanse of wall, as at Mr. Byam Martin's. By the way, 

 Martini, raised by the late Mr. Jackson, of Kingston, and named after 

 that gentleman, should, by this time, be added to the list in class IV.
