Camellias are amongst the most ornamental and use- ful plants that we have for the green- house, and they can be grown either as moderate-sized plants or as large speci- mens. The flowers are either double or single, but the first are the better known. Grow in peat and sand, with the addi- tion of a little loam ; after flowering, keep warm whilst growth is being made, and use the syringe libe- rally. Place outside towards the end of summer to ripen. Keep cool during winter, and be very careful with water at this period, not allowing the plants to become either dry or very wet; care- lessness in this respect will cause the buds to drop. Also keep a moist atmosphere, and it is best to disbud just before the flower-buds begin to swell. Propagate singles by cuttings of the young wood in June and July, in a cool frame.
