that you book your orders at the earliest possible date, 
otherwise we may not be able to meet your valued de¬ 
mand in the exact varieties and in the exact grades that 
you desire. 
Plants offered here are all pot-grown, with the excep¬ 
tion of large specimens. It is our strong belief that pot 
grown Japonicas are far superior to the plants taken 
from the ground. Plants from the pot can also be safely 
removed at any time of year. Our Camellia stock this 
year is listed in four Groups, prices of each group being 
different. Rareness of varieties, scarcity of the kind are 
of course the main reason of higher prices. 
GROUP ONE 
LADY HUME’S BLUSH —This is a very rare Camellia 
and one of the varieties most difficult to propagate. 
Medium flower, very full double, with delicate flesh 
pink. Leaves medium to large, thick, light color, large 
vein, distinctive. We have this year only small sizes 
to offer.

6-8 inch, C. 2% or 3 inch pot_ 6.00 50.00 
CHANDLERII EL EGA NS —Semi-double to double. 
Flower very large, sometimes its measure reaches 
seven inches across. Pink variegated with white, some¬ 
what of a peony form mixed with yellow stamens. 
Leaves medium to large, thick, pointed and somewhat 
curled. Dark glossy green. . Rather slow grower, but 
blooms freely at an early age., 
COUNTESS OF ORKNEY —Very double, pink stripes on 
white ground. Leaves medium, pointed, shiny green. 
Very slow grower but it blooms very young. Best va¬ 
riety for pot culture. 
HERME —Semi-double, very large flower, variegated pink 
and white, generally white margin in the petals. Leaves 
rather small and pointed. 
PROF. SARGENT —Full double, peony form, very tight 
in center. No yellow stamens mixed, color dark red. 
Leaves roundish, large, thick, glossy green. 
RUBRA VIRGINALIS —One of the outstanding varieties. 
The flower is 3 y 2 to 4% inches in diameter. Eight large 
guard petals and numerous incurved small petaloids 
form the flower. Peony shaped, it resembles Prof Sar¬ 
gent, but is slightly looser. Late flowers in the season, 
occasionally semi-double with yellow stamens. Color is 
a very pleasing soft pink, but once in a while the guard 
petals have very narrow white stripes at the center. 
The leaves are very small. Early and a very free 
bloomer. 
No. 47 —Some call this the Wm. S. Hastie, but we are 
not quite sure as yet. The flower is 4 to 4 y 2 inches in 
diameter, being overlapped symmetrically with 90 to 
100 petals. Color bright red to deep Vermillion red. 
Blooms mid-season, free bloomer.
