CAIiENDULA-(See Marigold.) 



CALLA. 



An old favorite, but very desirable plant, either as an 

 aquatic, or for the ornamentation of the drawing room 

 and conservatory. Thrives in any light, rich soil when 

 plentifully watered. The seeds, which should be sown 

 in green-house in early spring, produce small bulbs in 

 the fall, which should be repotted in rich soil. The pro- 

 duction of large plants from seed takes some time, but 

 the beautiful creamy-white flowers are an ample reward 

 for the care and patience bestowed. Half-hardy per- 

 ennial. 

 Calla, aethiopica 25 



CALLIOPSIS, or COREOPSIS, 



A very showy border plant, producing flowers in 

 nearly every shade of yellow, orange, crimson, red and 

 brown. If the seed pods are removed as soon as they 

 appear, the plant will remain in bloom much longer. 

 Sow where they are to remain, and thin to two feet 

 apart. Hardy annual ; two feet high.

CAMELLIA. 



All species of Camellias are universally admired on 

 account of their beautiful, rose-like flowers, and elegant, 



dark green, shining, laurel- ^gjj,„„„ 

 like leaves. They are hardy 

 green-house shrubs of easy 

 culture, requiring only to be 

 protected from frost. The 

 best soil for them is an equal 

 quantity of good, sandy loam 

 and peat. They are propa- 

 gated by inarching, cuttings, ^^^ X 

 grafting, and from seed, the ^^^*i \ 

 latter being the onlj' method "^M^ ^ 

 of obtaining new varieties. yf^^ | "'^afflH^ 

 When the plants are not grow- . li 

 ing they should receive but Camellia, double, 

 little water, and when growing freely, can scarcely re- 

 ceive too much. A regular succession of flowers maybe 

 obtained from autumn till July, if attention be given 

 to removing the potted and growing plants from a warm 

 to a cooler atmosphere. When the growth is completed 

 and flower buds formed, a cool, sheltered situation is 

 best, for they will be seriously injured if exposed to the 

 rays of the sun. 



Camellia, Japonica, fine double mixed, seed saved 

 froi7i the finest dotible varieties^ and will un- 

 doubtedly produce some very valuable kinds, 



of various colors 25 



'' Japonica, single, well adapted for raising stocks 

 for grafting 15 



CAMPANTJLA-(Bell Flower). 



Very handsome little plants from Italy, giving an 

 abundance of pure white and bluish-purple flowers about 

 two inches across. The flowers are bell-shaped, and 

 when the plant is cultivated in masses, the flowers are 

 very showy and ornamental, and continue in bloom a 

 long time. Hardy annual ; about nine inches high.

CANARY BIRD FLOWER. 



{TropcEoluni Canarie7ise.) 

 A beautiful climber, the charming little canary-colored 

 blossoms bearing a fancied resemblance to a bird with 

 its wings half expanded. The plant has a fine, luxuri- 

 ant, rambling character, and if the seeds are planted by 

 the side of an arbor or trellis, to run upon, it will run 

 twenty feet high, and blossom from July till frost comes. 

 The flowers will be more numerous and brilliant in light, 

 moderately rich soil. Tender annual ; twenty feet high.
