Camelliese. — Pomological Magazine. 47 1 



Chap. XIII. and the Appendixes, give the work a book- 

 making character, which must injure it in the eyes of all those 

 who, like us, know something of the secrets of the trade. 



So much for the naked kernel; those who have \2s* to 

 spare, and leisure, may procure it in the shell.

Part III. for June, contains 



9. Camellia japonica Pompbnia, Pompone or Kew Blush Japanese Ca- 

 mellia. " So much resembles the Pseony-flowered, and various-flowered, 

 as to render it impossible, when they are not in blossom, to distinguish them 

 from one another." Slender and erect in growth ; shoots pale, and but 

 thinly clothed with foliage. Imported for the Kew Garden about 1810. 



10. Camellia japonica corallina, Coral-coloured Japanese Camellia. 

 "One of the many fine varieties that have been raised from seed by Messrs. 

 Chandler, of the Vauxhall nursery," originated in 1819, and published in 

 Chandler's Camellia Britdnnica (G. M. Vol. I. p. 317.) in 1825. Habit like 

 that of the Waratah. 



11. Camellia japonica fldre pleno albo, Double white-flowered Japanese 

 Camellia. One of the most elegant varieties in cultivation, brought to 

 England, in 1792, by the same gentleman who introduced the double-striped, 

 viz. John Slater of the India House, according to Messrs. Chandler and 

 Booth, but Thomas Slater, according to Mr. Main, who went out as col- 

 lector for Grfeert Slater (Vol. II. p. 423.) in 1791. One of the varieties 

 most esteemed in this country, as well as in China. 



12. Camellia japonica eximia, Choice Japanese Camellia; the Chandler's 

 choice-flowering Camellia of the nurseries. Of free growth, resembling in 

 some respects the Waratah ; flowers of a deep rose colour, very double, and 

 measure no less than 4 in. in diameter. Resembles Camellia japonica im- 

 bricata, or what is called in the gardens the crimson shell-flowered Camellia, 

 lately introduced by the Horticultural Society, but the foliage of the two 

 plants is totally distinct.

125. The Royal Russet Apple; Reinette de Canada gfise, Fr. "An 

 exceedingly valuable kitchen fruit, keeping to the latest period at which 

 good apples are in use." Hardy, ripening in November, and keeping till 

 May or June. " An important cottagers' fruit, and one which ought to be 

 constantly cultivated for the benefit of that class of persons;" 



126. The Winter Nelis Pear ; La Bonne Malinoise, Fr. (Vol. III. p. 353), 

 Bonne de Malines. Raised by Mr. Nelis, of Mechlin, after whom it is 

 named. " An excellent winter pear, in perfection in December and 

 January." " Bears pretty well as a standard, but succeeds much better on
