We offer a beautiful stock of Camellias of our own 
I growing. We grow many thousands of Camellias, but, 
1 For years past, the demand has been so large that we 
have to import largely in order to fill our orders. 
All the plants which we offer are propagated from 
specimen plants, which are all grown in open ground, 
and are from 4 to 15 feet high. These consist of 
nearly one hundred varieties. Therefore, we have 
excellent opportunities for testing their relative merits. 
In the Home-grown section we offer no C. alba plena. 
Boxwood. PYRAMIDS (Trimmed). These 
are becoming very popular for decora¬ 
tive purposes, as they can be used in 
exposed places where the temperature 
is too low for palms. We offer a fine 
lot of plants trimmed in pyramidal 
shape, es shown in the accompanying 
photograph. (See Page 29.)

FOR OPEN GROUND — A partially shaded situation, 
especially where protected from the’ cold winds of 
winter, is most desirable. Any good garden soil is 
suitable, but if mixed with leaf-mold better results 
may be expected. The best seasons for transplant¬ 
ing are from early October to beginning of November, 
and from end of February to end of March. Mulch 
the plants with well-rotted manure. 
FOR CONSERVATORIES—Use a potting (jompost 
of peat or leaf-mold and good loam, and give ample 
drainage. When in growth, they require an abundance 
of water and spraying of tne 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. Drop 
ping of buds is caused by plants becoming too dry 
| or by over-watering, or being kept under high tem- 
i peraturo under glass.

These are bushy and shapely plants, but without 
flower-buds. The colors range in all shades of red 
from u very pale pink to darkest crimson, and with 
flowers combining exquisite variegations, pencilings, 
mottlings, etc. Whilst we import a large quantity of 
Camellias from the largest and most reliable European 
growers; we cannot always guarantee that every plant 
of the colored section will come true to label in 
every instance, and we have to purchase and sell 
under those conditions. 
NOTE — We can supply a few Camellias in colored 
varieties only, well set with bud? For these add 25 
conts per plant to above prices.
