CAMÉLLTA, I{er. Named in honour of George
Joseph Kamel, orCamelluR, a Moravian Jesuit,
, and traveller in Asia. Linn. 16, Or. 8, Nat.
Or. Tepistrmmiàcece. Al l the species of
Camellia are universally admired by every collector
of plants, on account of their beautiful
rose-like flowers, and elegant dark-green shining
laurel-like leaves. They are very hardy
greenhouse plants and are of easy culture, requiring
only to be sheltered from" severe frost.
The best soil for them is an equal quantity of
good sandy loam and peat. But some of the
best Camellia growers have found that light
loam alone answers very well. The pots should
be well drained with pieces of potsherds, that
they may not get soddened with too much wet,
as nothing injures them more than oyer-watering,
particularly when they are not in a growing
state. When growing freely, they can scarcely
have too much, and they should be watert^d
over the leaves with a fine rose-pot ; they are
readily increased by cuttings, or inarching on
the common kinds. The cuttings should be
taken off at a joint as soon as they are ripened,
and planted in sand, under a glass, where
they will soon strike root ; when this is the
case they should be planted singly in small
pots, and set in a close frame, and they
must be afterwards hardened to the-air by degrees,"
The season most proper to give the
Camellias a general potting is February and
March. After this, put them into a peachhouse
or vinery, or a warm greenhouse, and
give the plants plenty of water while they are
making their young shoots ; when the season's
growth is completed, and the flower-buds
formed, the back of the greenhouse or even u
' t
ÍÍ
well-sheltered north border will suit them, for
they will be seriously injured if exposed to the
rays of the sun. A regular succession of flowers
may be obtained from autumn till July, if attention
is paid to shifting the plants to the
warm atmosphere of a vinery, or pinery, &c.,
and to one a few degrees colder, and so on till
they come to expand their flowers in the greenhouse,
which in rough, bleak, cold weather,
should be ke])t closed. The seeds of .C. oleifera
yield an excellent table oil. Synonyme :
