HARLEQUIN, 
Some fifty years ago, the parent plant of this Camellia 
was imported from France to Mobile, where it has been 
growing in an old Southern garden. 
The original plant has attained a heighth of 15 or more 
teet, and produces countless thousands of fuil peony form 
flowers. 
The colors . . . pure white, shell pink, and softly tinted 
variegated types of pink and white. 
Truly this Camellia was correctly named . . . HARLE¬ 
QUIN, meaning "to fool." 
For beauty and perfection in either the peony or full 
rose forms . , . for rare delicacy in color and color com¬ 
binations, HARLEQUIN, in all its six or seven distinct 
types of flowers, produced on a single plant, represents 
a glorious Camellia, of marvelous beauty. 
To own a genuine HARLEQUIN is like possessing seven 
different plants of seven distinct horticultural varieties of 
Camellias. 
Like the variety ^TEUTONIA, these two Camellias ex¬ 
emplify Oriental duplicity in their lack of stability or 
habit of producing varied-colored combinations on the 
same plant.
