 CAMELLIA JAPONICA imbricata. 



Class. Order. 



MUX A DELPHI A POL YA XDRIA 



A native of China, introduced to the 

 garden of the Horticultural Society in 1824, 

 by their collector, Mr. Parks. It is a free 

 growing kind, with rather lax branches : it 

 flowers early, and is among the finest of the 

 varieties, being very large and double, also 

 in some instances beautifully marked, al- 

 though this is not always the case. In ma- 

 nagement it requires the same care as has 

 been recommended for the others, and is 



also increased by grafting upon the single 

 stock.
