222 GREEN-HOUSE REPOTTING. [March. 



mens, though very double. We are inclined to believe that 

 this \* the Idtea blba of some catalogues. Superb. 



C. Wardii; very dark green foliage; leaves rather cordate 

 and undulate, of a coriaceous texture; plant of a branching 

 stiff habit; flower full three inches in diameter, very persistent 

 circumference petals large and round ; those of the interior 

 small, round, and closely set, rather flattened, colour vivid 

 crimson. This fine variety is another by Mr. Floy, of New 

 York. Superb. 



C. Washington (GunceH's); dark rosy crimson, of exquisite 

 form, imbricated to the centre ; a plant of neat habit, an 

 abundant bloomer, always opening perfect. Magnificent. 



C. Wilderii; very bright rose; perfectly imbricated; petals 

 regular to the centre ; almost a fac-simile of the 0. Fordii, 

 except the foliage, which is more heart-shaped. Magnificent. 



C. Wm. Penn (Dick), dark reddish crimson; large bold 

 petals, fully double; plant of free growth; foliage dark green; 

 habit good. Magnificent. 



C. Woodsii; foliage light green ; leaves two inches wide 

 an.d four inches long; plant of a rapid growth and regular 

 shape; flower four and a half inches in diameter, of a bright 

 rose colour ; petals large and rounding in the periphery ; those 

 of the centre rather irregular perfectly double, and blooms 

 with difficulty. We have observed it to bloom finest when a 

 gentle heat was applied, or when the plant flowered in March 

 or April. Superb. (Soil No. 11 for the whole family.) 



We beg to observe that, in giving descriptions of the 

 camellia, we have invariably, as far as known, described the 

 best variety, where there were several varieties under one 

 name. The new varieties in this beautiful family of plants 

 are increasing with astonishing rapidity. The seedlings of 

 this country alone would of themselves form a collection of 

 every shade and colour, though many of them are almost 

 alike, especially among the whites and reds nearly foe-similes 

 except in foliage. The description of such we have carefully 

 avoided. Indeed, we boldly assert, though an extensive cul- 

 tivator of over two hundred varieties, that there are not more 

 than one hundred varieties known worthy of a passing remark, 

 except for their deformed character.

 liar foliage, of easy culture, and will all prove hardy south of
