dark green. The plant is of a neat and regular habit. 

 Magnificent. 



C. Floyii, one of the most noble of the Camellias, both 

 in flower and foliage ; leaves three inches wide, and nearly 

 five long; smooth, dark green, plant of strong growth; flower 

 five inches in diameter, of a perfectly double form ; the ex- 

 tremity is cherry red, diverging to a pale rose in the centre ; 

 the exterior petals are bold, round and elegant, of a cup 

 shape when newly opened. It is frequently sold in Eu- 

 rope under the imposing name of Frederic the Great, 

 though grown from seed by Mr. Floy, of New York, who 

 has been very successful in producing several other esteem-

C. Fordii, a free-growing plant, with lively green foliage 

 and graceful habit ; flower dark rose, three inches and a

C.formosa, foliage very dark green : flower fully four

 beautiful rose, occasionally spotted with white. Magnifi-

 breeder. Superb.
