Excerpt from The Canadian Horticulturist, Vol. 2: July, 1879 Flowers have their ins and cuts as well as politicians. To-day the Camellia is all the rage - every one votes for the Camellia - no lady thinks of attending an evening party without a Camellia in her hair, or so numerous in her boquet as to be a conspicuous feature; in short the Camellia holds the reins of power. But a change comes over the public mind. Gradually this beautiful flower loses its grasp of the popular favor, and now it is out, and the Rose is in! N o lady may now appear without a rose in her hair; no gentleman without a rose bud in his button-hole. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

A flower a foot in diameter, bright yellow inside, reddish-brown outside, filled with so many yellow stamens they can scarcely be counted, and exhaling the most delicious perfume, is an object worth striving for and a sight never to be forgotten. People rush in crowds and go almost wild over this grandest of all flowers. The plant is readily propagated by slips of the young growth as described for " Phyllocactus," page 4, May number, and are frequently used as stock to graft other cacti on, but the truth must be told, old plants of this variety are rare, and flowers very much rarer. Those who have a conservatory are more likely to succeed, as by training the stems along the rafters they get the necessary sunlight and heat, and by encouraging them with manure water once a week in summer, their growth is rapid. In winter they should have full sunlight and be kept cooler and dryer, but must not be allowed to dry out entirely. Now, as slips and cuttings are cheap and easily started, every one should try them.
