212 GREEN-HOUSE — REPOTTING. \_Marc7i. 
C. Fdirlea, foliage large, ovate, acuminate ; of a smooth, 
shining dark green ; flowers nearly four inches in diameter, 
of a rich crimson, marked with pure white ; very double. 
Superb. 
C. Feastii, pure white, with a few spots of rose, fully 
double, imbricated, very distinct ; foliage dark green ; of free 
growth. Magnificent. A seedling by Mr. Feast, of Balti- 
more. 
C. fimbridta : fringed white. The size, shape, and set of 
the flower same as alba-plena, and the white as pure, with 
the edges of the petals deeply serrated, or rather fringed ; is 
equally as free in flowering, though not so strong in growth. 
It is universally admired, and in great demand. Magnifi- 
cent. 
C. fiavescens, or incdrnata. Lady Hume's blush, and by 
some called buff. It is a very double flower, beautifully 
regular and imbricated, and frequently hexangular, or star-

blush ; on looking into it, it shows more like a blush-vapour 
than nature, and is a great favourite, and deservedly so : 
flowers and grows freely; foliage rhomboid, elongate, nerves 
very visible, surface smooth and pale-green, distinctly serrate; 
growth strong and erect. Magnificent. 
C. fiorida. Flower clear cherry-red, large, frequently 
above four inches in diameter; very persistent; exterior 
petals large and well-rounded ; the interior small and closely 
set, rising in the centre ; it is a profuse bloomer ; foliage 
dark green. The plant is of a neat and regular habit. Mag- 
nificent. 
C. Floyii, one of the most noble of the Camellias, both in 
flower and foliage ; leaves three inches wide and nearly five 
long ; smooth, dark-green plant of strong growth ; flower five 
inches in diameter, of a perfectly double form; the extremity 
is cherry-red, diverging to a pale-rose in the centre; the ex- 
terior petals are bold, round, and elegant, of a cup-shape 
when newly opened. It is frequently sold in Europe under 
the imposing name of Frederick the Great, though grown 
from seed by Mr. Floy, of New York, who has been very 
successful in producing several other esteemed sorts. Mag- 
nificent. 
C. Fordii, a free-growing plant, with lively, green foliage 
and graceful habit; flower dark-rose, three inches and a
