The soil that appears best 

 G.fc- adapted for the growth of this 

 G.^. beautiful tribe of plants, is the 

 G.*. top sward of a pasture that con- 

 G.J!?. sists of a sandy yellow loam, 

 G.Jj. which should be well chopped 

 G.^t. up with the spade, and incorpo- 

 G.|S rated with about one fourth of 

 G.fS sandy peat, and one fourth of 

 G.|S leaf mould, and to be frequently 

 G.|£>. turned and mixed together for 

 G.^. six months previous to using. 



G.JS When the plants are young, 



.... G.§>. they require frequent shiftings, 



— .... G.|S so as to prevent their roots 



— G.*. from getting matted in the pots, 



— .... G.gS which would obstruct the free 



G.JS penetration of the water 



G.|S through the ball of mould, and 



— G.JS without a due proportion of 



— G.g?. heat and moisture in thegrow- 



— .... G.J?. ing season, the plants will be- 



— G.JS come stinted and unhealthy. 



.... G.JS The most suitable season for 



— G.JS shifting the Camelliece, is in 



— .... G.|?. March,or April, when the plants 



G.JS have done flowering; when they 



G.JS should ,afterwards, have a slight 



G.§>. degree of artificial heat applied 



— . . • • G. J£>. to them, which will encourage 



.... G.|S the growth of the young shoots, 



.... G.|?. and better enable them to form 



.... G.5S their flower-buds. The foliage 



— .... G.3?. should be frequently syringed 



— • — .... G.|S with soft water, and kept clear 



— .... G. J?, from all filth and dust ; but care 



G.J?. mustbe taken nottosaturatethe 



.... G.5?. soil too much about their roots. 



.... G.JS All the species and varieties of 



— .... G.5S this genus may be increased by 



— .... G.gk>. layers, grafting, or inarching 



— .... G.£. them on the common stocks ; or 



.... G.*>. by cuttings, taken oif at a joint, 



— ■ G.*. when the young shoots are ri- 



G.|r. pened, and inserted in sand, 



G.^. under hand-glasses. Most of 



G.Jk. the species and varieties of the 



are well adapted to be grown in airy rooms, where they 

 eely expand their beautiful blossoms.
