double, provided the pollen is from a double variety. It 
must be applied the first day that the flower is expanded, for 
the bloom is only of a few days' duration. Those that are 
not acquainted with the buds of this Camellia, will take them 
to be dead, because, before expansion, they are very dark 
brown, and have a dried appearance. Superb. 
G. amabilc. This exceedingly perfect flower was raised 
from seed by J. 13. Smith, Esq., of this city; it is regularly 
imbricated, the extreme petals are bright rose, shading to 
delicate pink, and then again shading in the centre to light 
red. The plant is full of foliage and of excellent habit, 
flower about three and half inches in diameter. Magnificent. 
G. atrorhbens, Loddiges' red, is a good variety; colour dark 
red, outside petals large, inside small and irregular, forming 
a very distinct character ; foliage stiff ; grows freely and 
flowers well ; and of long duration. We have seen a flower 
stand fresh on the plant two months ; however, that cannot 
be a rule, as it depends on the situation. Good. 
G. americana, blush, medium size, finely cupped form, 
generally spotted with rose, an American seedling by Mr. 
Dunlap, of N. Y. Magnificent. 
G. Alexina, rose white, spotted and striped, dark rose, im- 
bricated, and fully double foliage, dark green, cordate, a 
plant of neat habit. Stqierb. 
C. albicans, pure white, perfectly double, in shape, growth, 
and form, very like myrtifolia alba. Superb. 
G. Binneyii, rosy crimson, very perfect form, luxuriant 
foliage, of free growth and bloom. Superb. 
C. Bealiana, or Leana Sujjcrba, dark crimson, very large, 
superbly double, cup form. Magnificent. 
G. candidissima, purest white flowers, very large, four 
inches or more in diameter, full and most regularly imbri- 
cated, and resemble very much the old double white, though 
more perfect in form — leaves rather small, of an elongated 
form, smooth, and pale green, often spotted with yellow. 
The plant is of vigorous growth, and a Japan variety. Mag- 
nificent. 
G. cdmea, frequently known as Middlemist's blush. 
Double pink, one of the original varieties, and frequently 
produces seeds, from which many very fine varieties have 
been obtained ; grows freely. Good. 
G. chalmerii perfecta, delicate waxy rose, perfectly imbri-
