CAMELLIA. 



■ All species of Camellia are universally admired, on account of their beau- 

 ful, rose-like flowers, and elegant, dark green, shining, laurel-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 propagated by inarching, cuttings, grafting, and from seed ; 

 the latter being the only method of obtaining new varieties. When the plants 

 are not growing, they should receive but little water, but when growing freely, 

 can scarcely receive too much. A regular succession of flowers may be obtained 

 from Autumn till July, if attention be given to removing the potted and grow- 

 ing plants from a warm to a cooler atmosphere. When the growth is completed, 

 and the flower buds formed, a cool, sheltered situation is best,* for- they will be 

 seriously injured if exposed to the rays of the sun.
