until this age. It even pays to secure older plants for perfect 
tion in the first crop of flowers. Then, too, older Camellias 
do not require as much detailed cultural attention as small, 
juvenile plants. 
These old time favourites of Nobility, so popular during 
the Victorian period, have come back in vogue . . . for cob 
lecting Camellias has all the stimulus and thrill attaching to 
any other collecting hobby . . . and it has its substantial 
rewards. 
Truly, the Camellia hobby brings an annual thrill during 
the bleak winter months. What a joyous moment when you 
discover the first flower of the season . . . and each succeed¬ 
ing Camellia flower adds more thrills . . . yes, hundreds and 
even thousands of thrills on the older plants. 
Discriminating collectors and nurserymen from the Atlantic 
to the Pacific, from Hawaii, Australia, and far-away China, 
have found at " LONGVIEW " a reliable source of supply; 
because, against a background of tradition singular to Ca¬ 
mellias alone, " LONGVIEW ” offers plants of the finest 
varieties, true to description or name. 
A visit to " LONGVIEW ” when they are in bloom will

so many distinct and unusual types of Camellias as grow here. 
You may now buy one plant at a time or acquire a splendid 
collection containing a nucleus of many different forms and 
range of colors, blooming over a period of many months. 
Such collections are obtainable at $25 to $500 or more, 
depending on the age, rarity of variety, and number of 
plants desired. 
Frequently we are commissioned to execute orders for a 
stipulated sum, with instructions to use our judgment in se¬ 
lecting the varieties. Of course, better service can often be 
rendered if the customer will indicate his choice in colors, 
forms, natural period of bloom and size of plants desired. 
The price asked for " LONGVIEW " Camellias sinks into 
insignificance compared with their potential value . . . the 
joy and the thrills you will get in growing these flowers of 
unsurpassed brilliancy and grandeur. 
To buy" LONGVIEW " Camellias does not imply extrava¬ 
gance . . . for some day you'll buy Camellias. Why not get

winter-blooming flowers in cultivation.

CUTHBERT, GA.—About six years ago I bought eight small Ca¬ 
mellias from you. They proved to be the finest varieties I have 
in my extensive collection. A Thomasville nurseryman recently 
offered me $200dK^oi^hes^eigt^^Juriellias, which I refused.
