CAME'LLM. 



In Loudon's Magazine, for October, it is stated that Ca- 

 mellm japonica var. francfurtensis is not white and red, as 

 noticed in Vol. I, p. 255, but dark and light red. The 

 variety is now in England, in the possession of Messrs. Low 

 & Co., of the Clapton nursery, where, we presume, small 

 plants may be procured. The following new kinds have 

 also been originated by Mr. Rinz, Jun., who raised the 

 above. C. Gunnellu, "pure white, fine large magnificent 

 flowers." C. ?;iolacea superba, " particularly remarkable for 

 its violet color [rare in camellias], beautifully shaped flow- 

 ers, and abundance of them." C. Pronayona, so named in 

 honor of the Baron von Pronay, a very zealous amateur and 

 promoter of gardening in Vienna. "It has not, indeed, a 

 very large flower, but is very agreeably speckled with dark 

 and light red." 



Mr. Hogg, nurseryman. New York, has now in bloom 

 several seedlings ; one, C. spectabile, is said to be very 

 beautiful. Mr. Wilder possesses a plant of this variety, and 

 we shall undoubtedly have the pleasure of viewing it when 

 in flower. C. japonica imbricata Mr. Wilder has had in 

 bloom, the flower of which was true to the figure in Chandler 

 <^ Booths Illustrations. The foliage can never be mistaken, 

 and this gives a decisive proof of the sportiveness of this 

 fine variety. C. japonica pulcherrima, a new variety, has 

 been in bloom in the fine collection of Mr. Sweetser ; a no- 

 tice of which, and others, will be found in another page of 

 this number : it is a splendid acquisition.
