Repot. Riibits rosyfolius, or Bramble-rose. They 

 should have pots one size larger than those they are now

 cellar, where they will not be in danger of frost, and be 

 permitted to remain there until they begin to grow ; then 

 bring them to the light, and treat as directed for these 

 kinds of plants. Deciduous pknts may be treated in a 

 similar manner.

Camellias. These plants, where there is a collection,

 and period through the various stages of their growth and
