Camellias. 
The Camellia is one of our most popular greenhouse flowers. Either "cut” or "growing,” 
most lovers of flowers admire it. 
By careful management a succession of flowers can be obtained from October till late Spring. 
A liberal supply of water is necessary; during the flowering season great care should be taken to 
prevent the atmosphere or the roots becoming dry, otherwise the buds may fall off.

we should consider it a favour if our customers would allow us to send other sorts we 
have in stock in place of the varieties asked for that may not be available at the time. 
Cannas. 
Gladiolus-Flowered Varieties. 
The spikes resemble Gladioli, and the brilliant colours show grandly against the tropical-like 
foliage ; they bloom continuously during summer. The foliage comprises shades of rich green, 
glaucous, and chocolate-crimson tints, giving a beautiful tropical aspect to pleasure grounds. When 
planted in groups on lawns, or in centres of beds — in warm or sheltered situations- they form 
effective objects during the Summer months; they are also fine for conservatory decoration, and 
can be kept flowering during tile Winter. 
Cannas are entirely free from insects and disease. After flowering they may be treated similarly 
to Gladioli or Dahlia tubers. 
During Winter and until March they are supplied as dry tubers ; after March, as growing 
plan ts.
