CAMELLIA CULTURE. 59 



Have the house so arranged that it can be aired from 

 the sides as well as from the top. 



I find that airing in this way adds considerably to the 

 number of buds on the plants. 



During the summer have the glass partly shaded, and 

 in very warm weather water the pathways in mid-day, to 

 create a moisture which will help keep the house cool. 



Figure 22 represents my lean-to house, seventy-five 

 feet long by sixteen feet wide. 



The bed for planting out being only nine feet wide, 

 the bench three feet wide for plants in pots. 



Plants in this house grow rather one-sided, and are 

 not at all shapely ; those which are grown in my span 

 roof or double-pitch house are well shaped, being uni- 

 form on all sides. 



I would not advise Camellias to be grown in a lean-to 

 house.
