MONOGRAPHY OF THE GENUS CAMELLIA 



BY 



The Abbe Lorenzo Berlese 



was first published in French in the year 1838. That same 

 year this fine work was translated into English by Henry 

 A. S. Dearborn, and published by Joseph Breck & Co. of 

 Boston. 



As both the French and English editions were very 

 limited, it quickly went out of print, and for many years the 

 first editions have commanded extremely high prices. I 

 have, therefore, undertaken the expense of a reprint of the 

 English edition, which is a faithful copy of the original, in 

 order to give the ever increasing camellia lovers of today an 

 opportunity to learn the methods of cultivation and the de- 

 scription of the 280 varieties of this beautiful flower that 

 were known to camellia lovers in 1838. 



This new edition is now available to the public at a rea- 

 sonable price.
