border, or in vases or rustic stands, the latter being a very effective way of showing its 
beauty. (See illustration.) Price, 25 cents for fine, large, flowering bulbs. 
CAMELLIA JAPONICA. 
The royal family of greenhouse plants. Leaves glossy green, and flowers of the 
most exquisite beauty and waxy texture, from pure white to crimson, in almost end¬ 
less variation. The pure white ones are generally prized above the colored varieties; 
their culture is nearly related to that of the Azalea, but their success is more certain. 
They require shade and moisture throughout the hot season. Their time of blooming 
is Winter and early Spring; requires a moderate and uniform temperature, with as 
little artificial heat as possible. When set with flower buds, great care must be tak¬ 
en in watering; when left too dry the buds are sure to drop. We have a fine assort¬
