Camellia Japonica. An old green-house shrub.

CANNA. 
See engraving page 13. 
The Canna is a fine foliage plant, making a good bed 
alone, but particularly desirable as the center of a 
group of foliage planus, for which it is one of the best, 
growing from three to six feet. The leaves are some¬ 
times two feet in length, of a beautiful green, some 
varieties tinted with red. Roots can be taken up in 
the autumn and placed in the cellar. No one can 
fail to be pleased with this plant.

crimson flowers, about three inches long and 
two inches wide. The habit of growth of this 
variety is good, and the large, handsome flow¬ 
ers add much to the beauty of the plant; each, 50

variety, grows 8 to 10 feet high ; each .... 30

dow boxes and trellises in summer, and for the 
house in winter. A very rapid grower, often at¬ 
taining the height of 20 feet. Flowers purple,

CAMPSIDIUM. 
An elegant climber, of rapid growth ; fine for con¬ 
servatories ; foliage fern-like. It has no need of flowers, 
as the foliage is an ornament in itself. Do not allow 
the soil to become wet or sodden, as then it is apt to 
drop its leaves. The plant branches freely, and suc¬ 
ceeds in any ordinary garden soil. It is also very fine 
for a window-box out of doors in the summer, growing 
much stronger than it does in the house. A very pretty 
plant that all people who cultivate it like.
