ORANGE AND LEMON TREES, kc. 
‘The Orange, Lemon, Citron, Shaddock, and Lime are ee 
cultivated, and no trees will bear harder usage, if they are. 
only secured from cold and frost. They may be removed 
every month in the year, and yet grow well with the aid of 
shade and moisture. Early 1 in October they should be taken 
out of the boxes or pots in which they are growing, with the 
balls of earth entire, and have the sides and bottom shaved off 
about an inch deep with asharp knife, to make room for 
fresh earth, and then replace them in the pots or boxes, first 
covering the holes at the bottom with shells or broken earthen, 
and some fresh compost; then fill in around the tree with the 
compost prepared as hereafter directed. If, in the course of 
replanting, the earth should have been much separated from 
the roots, the tree should be placed in a shady situation for a 
few days. If it is desirable to promote the growth, and to 
form large trees, then let boxes be made a size larger at every 
annual transplanting ; ; but, if the boxes should be too large 
in proportion to the tree, fruit will not be produced so soon, 
nor in as great a quantity. 
Compost for Orange Trees, and most other Green-House 
Plants. 
Take one third good rich earth, one.third well rotted sta- 
ble manure, and one third swamp, or wood mould; but, 
where swamp mould cannot be precured, let two thirds be 
good rich earth; these must be well incorporated together, 
and, if mixed a few weeks previous to the time of using, it 
will be the better for it. This soil will suit all except Suc- 
culent Plants, such as the different species of Aloe, Cactus, 
Yucca, Stapelia, &c. which require a composition of half 
Coarse sand, one fourth swamp mould, and one fourth com- 
mon garden mould. 
CAMELLIA JAPONICA, or Jafan Rose. 
Much as we are indebted to Japan and China for elegant 
plants, still we are more peculiarly so for the different spe- 
cies and varieties of the Camellia, which, for the many beau- 
ties it concentrates, may emphatically be styled ** the Queen 
of Flowers,”’ The different varieties of this plant form the 
most brilliant display of the Green-house from December to 
‘May, and the splendour of their flowers, and richness of their 
foliage, are surpassed by no others. The flowers. of many 
of them equal in size the largest garden Rose, and combine
