CULTIVATION OF CAMELLIAS. 
For Open Ground—To get the best results Camellias 
should be planted in a partially shaded situation, es¬ 
pecially where protected from thj cold winds of winter 
and the hoi, afternoon sun of summer. Any good gar¬ 
den soil is suitable, but if mixed with leaf mold and 
well-rotted cow manure better results will be obtained. 
The plants should bo kept thoroughly mulched with well- 
rotted leaves. In this section the best time to trans¬ 
plant Camellias is from early October until middle of 
November, and from middle of February to end of March. 
For Conservatories—Use a potting compost of peat 
or leaf-mold and good loam, and give ample drainage. 
When in growth, they require an abundance of water 
and spraying of the foliage. When 'dormant, water 
sparingly and keep in cool temperature. Fire heat is 
not needed except during excessively cold weather 
which would injure distending buds. Dropping of buds 
is caused by plants drying out, or by over-watering, or 
being kept in high temperature under glass.
