Soil. — The camellia delights in a rich 

 soil, but will not hear manure directly 

 applied. The following is the compost 

 used at the Landreth Nurseries — sandy 

 wood earth (the decomposed vegetable 

 matter found at the roots of trees in 

 I forests) and well rotted sod, or loam, in 

 I equal parts, thoroughly mixed, and pass- 

 ed through a No. 1 sieve, retaining all 

 I the fibrous particles in the soil. 

 j Propagation. — " The usual methods 

 ^ of propagation are by inarching or graft- 

 ! ing and budding on the single red Ca- 

 mellia, cuttings of which are found to 

 I strike root more readily than of the 

 \ double varieties. 



" The cuttings are taken in July and 

 August, or as soon as the young shoots 

 are sutiiciently ripe at the base. They 

 are carefully prepared by being cut 

 smoothly over with a sharp knife at a 

 joint, and divested of one or two leaves 

 at the bottom, and then planted firmly 

 about two inches deep in pots half filled 

 with the Camellia compost before de- 

 scribed, and the upper half with fine 

 white sand. They are then well watered,

gives out a gentle warmth, and kept 

 closely shaded for three or four months, 

 , by which time short fibres, or a callus 

 from which they afterwards diverge, are 

 produced. 



" When sufficiently rooted to bear 

 removal, they are potted singly in small 

 pots, the sand being then carefully re- 

 moved ; the pots should be well drain- 

 ed and filled with the Camellia compost, 

 with the addition of a little white sand.
