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 varie- 
gations, pencilings, mottlings, ete. Whilst we import a large | 
quantity of Camellias from the largest and most reliable Euro- 
pean 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. 
For OPEN GROUND.—AÀ partially shaded situation, especially 
where protected from the cold winds of winter, is most desir- 
able. 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. 
CAMELLIA JAPONICA, continued 
For CoONSERVATORIES.—Use a potting compost of peat or 
leaf-mold and good Joam, 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 injute distending buds. Dropping 
of buds is caused by plants becoming too dry or by over- 
watering, or being kept under high temperature under glass.

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 
propagated from specimen plants, which are all grown in open 
ground, and are from 4 to 15 feet high. Тһеве consist of nearly 
one hundred varieties. Therefore, we have excellent oppor- 
tunities for testing their relative merits. In the Home-grown 
section we offer no С. alba plena.
