No. 1707. 
CAMELLIA JAPONICA Rossii. 
E Order. 
MONADELPHIA POLYANDRIA. 
This is a very fine variety, and was raised 
by the Jate Mr. Wm. Ross, of Stoke New- 
ington, who was an unassuming and inge- 
nious cultivator, and one of the first persons 
who obtained new varieties of these popular 
plants from seeds. 
It possesses the valuable quality of last- 
ing for a very long time before it fades: 
the flowers are moreover of a noble size 
and rich colour, and being freely produced, 
it is doubtless one of the most desirable 
kinds. Its treatment should be like that of 
the other Camellias: it is also increased in 
a similar way by ingrafting upon the single 
stock.
