HOSHIGURUMA (STAR WHEEL). Rose- 
form regular. Flower shape very similar to 
above. The plant is a very dwarf grower, but 
the flower is in proportion to the bush so that 
it makes a nice compact plant for pots. 
HITOSUGI. Ranunculiform regular. Medium 
flower of rose red with the tips of each petal 
striped white. Late. 
KIKUTOGI. Ranunculiform regular. Early 
flowering variety of good-size. Clear red. 
LEWELLING RED. Roseform regular to 
semi-regular. Deep rose shading to lavender 
when the flower ages. Large double. 
MONJISU. Roseform regular. Deep rose red 
with golden stamens. Leaves bright and shiny 
green. Dwarf. 
NAPA RED. Roseform regular. Bright red 
with deep stamens. Flowers late and of good 
size. 
OTOME RED. Ranunculiform regular. A very 
floriferous rose of medium size. Plants are 
strong bushy growing. Late. 
CHRISTMAS RED. Simple. Red with yellow 
stamens. A japonica type. Early. 
WAKANOURA RED. Simple to roseform 
regular. The color is deep rosy red with 
prominent stamens. Leaves are sharply ser¬ 
rated and waved. 
Pink Varieties 
AKEBONO PINK. Roseform semi - regular. 
Light clear pink. Foliage dark green pointed 
and bushy in growth. 
CHANDLERII ELEGANS. Anemoniform. 
Flowers of very large size, rose pink, with 
occasional spots on the petals and also among 
the tufted center petaloids. Midseason. All 
that the name implies; it is really elegant. 
GRANDIFLORA ROSEA. Simple regular. 
Probably the largest camellia flower in the 
trade. Flowers often measuring 5 to 6 
inches. Clear Rose pink with petaloid and 
staminate stamens clustered in center. At 
times the row of stamens show no staminoids, 
but only the golden stamens. Of interest is 
the fact that the old foliage turn yellow and 
drop as soon as the new leaves have hardened 
sufficiently to carry on its functions. A favor¬ 
ite with everyone who has seen it. 
DAWN. Ranunculiform regular. Blush pink, 
deeper center. 
JAPONICA PINK. Simple. Light pink with 
stamens prominent. 
FRENCH PEONY. Roseform regular. The 
flower on opening is anemoniform in appear¬ 
ance, but the petals soon separate to a looser 
type. Clear rose pink. Medium size and late. 
JOHN LAING. Ranunculiform regular double. 
A beautiful light rose. Late. Bushy compact 
grower. 
PINK PERFECTION. Ranunculiform regu¬ 
lar double. This is the well known clear shell 
pink of very regular petals. Bushy grower, 
sets buds very heavily and should he dis¬ 
budded if large flowers are desired. 
PINK STAR. Roseform semi - regular. The 
flower is bright rose pink of delicate coloring. 
Stamens interspersed with petaloids. The 
outer row of petals are roundly pointed to 
give the star-like appearance. Dwarf grower. 
Midseason. 
SARAH FROST. Ranunculiform. (Note this 
is not the Sarah Frost of the Southeast.) 
Flowers of immense size, not very floriferous 
when young, but well worth waiting for the 
clear rose pink double flowers. 
KUMASAKA. Roseform to peoniform. Deep 
rose pink, stamens interspersed with petaloids. 
Full flower of very good keeping qualities and 
large size. Holds flowers erect so that one 
can look directly into its heart. We feel that 
it is the best in its color. (See color plate.) 
PINK BALL. Peoniform irregular. The flowers 
of this variety are at first almost white, grad¬ 
ually deepening in color to a La France pink. 
Outer petals regular. Petaloids interspersed 
with stamens. Leaves delicate yellow green. 
(See color plate.) 
Camellia Sasanqua Varieties 
FUGI NO MINE. Roseform regular double. 
Pure white with yellow stamens. The frag¬ 
rance is faint in the individual flower, hut 
when the mass is in bloom in the garden one 
cannot help but notice its delightful fragrance. 
The growth when young is sprawly and the 
plant will have to be staked if a straight 
stemmed specimen is desired. Called by some 
the “climbing camellias.” Early flowering.
