These are becoming very popular for decorative 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, as shown in the accompanying photograph.

Camellia Japonica 
IMPORTED PLANTS 
These are bushy and shapely plants, but without flower- 
buds. The colors range in all shades of red from a 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 con¬ 
ditions.

HOME-GROWN PLANTS 
We offer a beautiful stock of Camellias of our own growing. 
We grow many thousands of Camellias, but 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 pro¬ 
pagated 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 opportuni¬ 
ties for testing their relative merits. In the Home-grown sec¬ 
tion we offer no C. alba plena.

PYRAMIDAL BOXWOOD 
For Open Ground. — A partially shaded situation, especially 
where protected from the cold winds of winter, is most desira¬ 
ble. Any good garden soil is suitable, but if mixed with leaf- 
mold, better results may be expected. The best seasons for 
transplanting are from early October to beginning of Novem¬ 
ber, and from end of February to end of March. Mulch the 
plants with well-rotted manure. 
For Conservatories. —IJse 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 becoming too dry or by over-water¬ 
ing, or being kept under high temperature under glass.
