270 ON THE CULTURE AND MANAGEMENT OF THE CAMELLIA. 



inches in diameter; pale red, with dark purplish veins ; a very free 

 flowerer, and well deserving cultivation. } 



25. Chandler's Elegant (C. elegans.) — Flowers much like the 

 last in colour, but scarcely so large ; form of the flowers like the 

 anemone flora. 



26. Middlemist's Rose (C. carnea.) Syn. flesh-coloured, rose- 

 coloured. — This is not very double, but a beautiful kind ; the veins 

 on the petals purple. 



27. Kent's Thick Nerved (C. crassinervis.) Syn. hexangularis. 

 — Flowers the same shape as anemone flora, but the colour paler, 

 and in other respects very distinct. 



28. Coral Flowered (C. corallina.~) — This is another anemone 

 flowered, with petals semi-transparent and very beautiful. 



29. A\~ood's (C. JVoodsii.) — Flowers large, nearly four inches 

 broad, but not very double. 



30. Rosy (C. rosea.) — Flow r ers measuring upwards of three 

 inches broad, very handsome. 



31. Dark Red (C. atrorubens.) Syn. Loddiges' red. — A beauti- 

 ful variety, flowers deep scarlet. 



32. Old Double Red (C. rubro-plena.) Syn. Greville's red. — 

 Flowers crimson ; this is a well-known variety, but has of late become 

 somewhat scarce in collections, probably from its not flowering so 

 freely as some of the other kinds. To make it produce flowers, cripple 

 it at the roots with a small pot, give it plenty of heat at the 

 season of forming buds, and as soon as these are fully, formed, 

 place it entire in rather a larger pot, and in general it will flower 

 freely. 



33. Crimson Shell (C. imbricata.) — This has been reputed as 

 the finest variety in cultivation, although we can scarcely assent to 

 tins, yet it is without doubt a lovely kind ; the colour is a rich 

 carmine, very conspicuous amongst the green leaves. 



34. Hollyhock Flowered (C althea Jlora.) — Flowers not so 

 deep coloured as the three preceding, but is a good variety. 



35. Anemone Flowered (C. anemone flora.) Syn. warratah. — 

 This is a well-known old, but very excellent variety ; it is a very 

 free flowerer, of a deep crimson red, and remarkably showy. 



36. The Choice (C eximia.) — Flowers are large, but paler 

 coloured than the anemone flowered.
