The soil hest adopted to the growth of the Camellia is a 'mixture of 

 fresh loam and peat in equal proportions, which must not be sifted, 

 hut be kept in a roUgh state, to which a tolerable quantity of small 

 stones must be added, some river sand, and about an eighth proportion 

 of well-rotted dung, not what is termed sour, but sweet : these to be 

 well mixed together, and kept as rough as possible, and a small 

 sprinkling of charcoal-dust added thereto. In such a compost, having 

 a free drainage of some of the roughest of the compost, the Camellia 

 flourishes vigorously. The proper season for shifting the plants is 

 when they require it, and that is, when the young grou th has got 

 hardened, and the blossom-buds for next season can just be seen at 

 the extremities of the shoots. After shifting, they may be placed in 

 the open air, or retained in the greenhouse, according to the season 

 they are wanted to flower; if kept in the greenhouse, as much air as 

 possible should lie admitted, and occasionally sprinkling the foliage 

 "will improve the appearance, as well as be beneficial to the health of
