20 CAMELLIA CULTURE. 



Fig. 2 represents a well-grown single stock three years 

 old, and is worth only ten dollars per hundred. 



My way of growing the double varieties from cuttings, 

 makes the plants salable in three years. They are from 

 twelve to fifteen inches high, with from two to three buds. 

 Many of them when two years old, are from eight to ten 

 inches high, with from one to two buds on each plant. 



Alba plena, three years old, with no more extra labor 

 to grow than the single stock grown by the old method, 

 is worth, with flower buds, forty dollars per hundred, 

 and at two years old, with buds, is worth twenty dollars 

 per hundred. 



From the above information you can easily calculate 

 which is the best and most profitable method of growing 

 this plant.
