CALLA .3STHE0PIA. — CAMELLIA JAPONIC A. 6$ 
CALLA ETHIOPIA. 
Is a well known plant, and very easy to keep, and 
when in flower, with its large white fragrant blossom, 
which is often produced in the middle of winter, is 
very beautiful. When the Calla has done growing in 
summer, the leaves should be suffered to die by with¬ 
holding water from them, which will ripen their bulbs 
and cause them to flower* In August shake them out 
of the pots and remove the old soil, and if it is desired 
to increase them, break off* the little pseudo-bulbs at 
the roots, and plant them in a pot by themselves, then 
repot them in any good rich soil, and as soon as they 
appear above it, give them water freely. 
CAMELLIA JAPONICA. 
The Camellia is a very splendid plant, and generally 
considered the finest exotic plant in the Greenhouse, 
and although it has been introduced some time in the 
country, and many fine Hybrids have been raised in 
the United States, its management is not generally 
understood, except by cultivators and persons hav¬ 
ing large Greenhouses. Many persons are deterred 
from having them in their rooms and small Conserva¬ 
tories, as they consider them difficult to manage, and 
the chief complaint is of their dropping their buds
