22 CAMELLIA CULTURE. 



All such persons I cordially invite to visit my estab- 

 lishment, where thousands of all sizes can be seen at any 

 time. 



I prefer growing from cuttings, and I think the major- 

 ity of the trade will also, as soon as they learn the quick 

 and profitable modes of increasing them. 



Thirty years ago we were taught that the double red 

 varieties could not be grown from cuttings; and such a 

 thing as rooting alba plena as easily as the common single 

 red was not thought of. 



To many thousands of those in the trade at the pres- 

 ent time it is something new. 



I believe that in the course of from five to ten years 

 all the double varieties will be grown altogether from 

 cuttings by Camellia growers, just as the rose is growing 

 now. Inarching and grafting will be with the past.
