100 Observations on the Camellia and its varieties. 



69. Camellia j. var. punctata simplex. Eng. ^ Fr. Cat. 



Single-white striped. 



A very large, broadly expanded, single camellia, the color a 

 light blush, spotted and striped with rose. 



70. Camellia j. var. latifolia nova. L\1bhe Berlese Mono- 



graph. 



This is of recent introduction. The flower is of a bright 

 rose color, spotted and marbled with white. It has two or three 

 rows of large outer petals, and the centre is filled up with small- 

 er ones of irregular shape, forming a full double flower. 



71. Camellia j. var. Roi de Pays Bas. Fr. Cat. 



King of the Low Country. 

 The color of this camellia is very deep crimson, with darker 

 prominent veins, and rejuains a long time in perfection. The 

 petals are not numerous, but very regularly arranged. 



72. Camellia j. var. rosea nova (of China.) Fr. ^ Eng. Cat. 

 This camellia has been recently introduced into Europe from 



China, and is no doubt a true Chinese variety. The flower is 

 of medium size, of a delicate rose or pink color. The petals 

 are as numerous as those of the old double-white, and as per- 

 fectly arranged over each other to the very centre. It is repre- 

 sented as being the most sure and indefatigable bloomer we are 

 acquainted with. 



The following varieties, from No. 73 to 77 inclusive, are gen- 

 erally termed sijigle flowers, having an outer jow of from five to 

 seven very large guard petals. Where the stamens are not trans- 

 formed into petals, they are called single flowers; but where they 

 are petaloid and diversified in color, making up a full conical 

 centre, they are called semi-double, or double flowers. All this 

 class of flowers are excellent for producing seed. 



73. Camellia j. var. papaveracea. Fr. Cat. 



A very large, broadly expanded, dark red single flower, meas- 

 uring from five to six inches in diameter. 



74. Camellia j. var. Baumanniana. Camellias of Bolwiller. 

 Raised from seed by the brothers Baumann of Bolwiller, 



France. The color is a bright cherry red, the centre filled with 

 transformed stamens, some of which are striped with white. 



75. Camellia j. var. grandissima. Fr. Cat. 



A large and beautifully formed, single, dark orange scarlet ca- 

 mellia. 



7.6. Camellia j. var. delecta. Fr. Cat. 



This is similar to the Baumanniana, except that the petaloid
