foliage very fine dark green, three inches wide and four 

 inches long. We have had seed from it. Plant of a good 

 habit and a profuse bloomer. Sitperh. 



C. teutonia^ an imbricated flower, of perfect form, rosy 

 crimson, frequently inclining to pale rose. Magnificent. 



O. Vfalban/ciana ; foliage pale green, two inches broad 

 and nearly four inches long; plant of rather loose habit; 

 flower greenish-white, full four inches in diameter; petals 

 large and oval, irregularly tufted, showing a number of sta- 

 mens, though very double. We are inclined to believe that 

 this is the Mtea alba of some catalogues. Superb. 



C. Wardii ; very dark gieen foliage; leaves rather cor- 

 date and undulate, of a coriaceous texture ; plant of a branch- 

 ing stiff habit; flower full three inches in diameter, very 

 persistent — circumference petals large and round ; those of 

 the interior small, round, and closely set, rather flattened, 

 color vivid crimson. This fine variety is another by Mr. 

 Floy, of New York. Superb. 



C, Washington (Grunneirs); dark rosy crim^son, of exqui- 

 site form, imbricated to the centre ; a plant of neat habit, 

 an abundant bloomer, always opening perfect. Magnificent, 



C. Wilderii ; very bright rose ; perfectly imbricated ; pe- 

 tals regular to the centre ; almost a fac simile of the C. For- 

 cliij except the foliage, which is more heart-shaped. Mag- 

 nificent. 



G. Woodsii ; foliage light green; leaves two inches wide 

 and four inches long ; plant of a rapid growth and regular 

 shape ; flower four and a half inches in diameter, of a bright 

 rose color ; petals large and rounding in the periphery ; 

 those of the centre rather irregular — perfectly double, and 

 blooms with difficulty. We have observed it to bloom finest 

 when a gentle heat was applied, or when the plant flowered 

 in March or April. Magnificent. (Soil No. 11 for the 

 whole family.) 



We beg to observe that, in giving descriptions of the 

 camellia, we have invariably, as far as known, described the 

 best variety, where there were several varieties under one 

 name. The new varieties in this beautiful family of plants 

 are increasing with astonishing rapidity. The seedlings of 

 this country alone would of themselves form a collection of 

 every shade and color, though many of them are almost alike, 

 especially among the whites and reds — nearly fac-similes ex-
