March."] GREEN-HOUSE REPOTTING. 219 



inches long, finely serrated nerves prominent; flower, 

 when well grown, is five inches in diameter; colour pure 

 white, spotted, and striped with rose and pink, petals 

 broad, bold, erect, and closely set; the bloom, when fully 

 expanded, forms a perfect hemisphere, and contains a few 

 hidden stamina ; it is the finest and largest of all the striped 

 varieties, and is a profuse bloomer. Magnificent. 



C. eximia, (Chandler's,) flowers bright crimson, four 

 inches in diameter, of a perfect double imbricated form, 

 foliage light green and deeply serrated, nerves smooth ; it 

 is of free growth, but with us does not bloom freely. Mag- 

 nificent. 



C. Fdirlea: foliage large, ovate, acuminate; of a smooth 

 shining dark green; flowers nearly four inches in diame- 

 ter, of a rich crimson, marked with pure white, very dou- 

 ble. Superb. 



C. Feastii, pure white, with a few spots of rose fully 

 double, imbricated, very distinct, foliage dark green, of free 

 growth. Magnificent. A seedling by Mr. Feast, of Balti- 

 more. 



C. fimbriata : fringed white. The size, shape and set 

 of the flower same as alba-plena, and the white as pure, 

 with the edges of the petals deeply serrated, or rather 

 fringed; is equally as free in flowering, though not so 

 strong in growth. It is universally admired, and in great 

 demand. Magnificent. 



C.Jlavescens, or incdrnata. Lady Hume's blush, and 

 by some called buff. It is a very double flower, beautifully 

 regular and imbricated, and frequently hexangular, or star- 

 like; the bottom of the petals is most delicately tinged 

 with blush ; on looking into it, it shows more like a blush 

 vapour than nature, and is a great favourite, and deserved- 

 ly so : flowers and grows freely ; foliage rhomboid, elon- 

 gate, nerves very visible, surface smooth and pale green, 

 distinctly serrate, growth strong and erect. Magnificent. 



C.florida. Flower clear cherry red, large, frequently 

 above four inches in diameter; very persistent; exterior 

 petals large and well rounded ; the interior small and closely 

 set, rising in the centre: it is a profuse bloomer; foliage 



ful amateur cultivator, and has raised some of the finest seedling 

 Camellias that are at present known.
