CAMELLIA CULTURE. 



Use a little moss to fill in the opening of the glasses to 

 keep them partly air-tight. 



This grafting can be done in any portion of the green- 

 house, conservatory or pit. 



When hyacinth glasses are 



used, no frame is required. 



Shade the glass with paper 

 in the middle of the day for 

 two weeks, then this extra 

 shading can be dispensed with. 

 At the expiration of three 

 weeks, pull a portion of the 

 moss from the mouth of the 

 glass, in order to give the 

 graft a little more air, as it 

 should be uniting by this 

 time. 



At the end of the fifth 

 week remove all the moss 

 from the glass, still allowing 

 the glass to remain over the 

 graft for one or two weeks 

 longer. 



At the end of the seventh 

 or eighth week, take the glass 

 off altogether. 

 The graft at this time should be firmly united to the 

 stock. 



Shade the plant well for a few days after removing the 

 glass.
