CAMELLIA JAPONICA 
We are pleased to offer great reduction in prices 
of our excellent Camellia plants, in spite of growing 
cost of production, because we have very large sup¬ 
ply of all sizes, and our growing space is limited. 
Bench Grown 2-inch Pot Grown 
Horticultural names of Camellia Japonicas are 
so badly confused that we are not still sure of many 
of them, but we have enough of kinds which are 
recognized by leading nurserymen by such names 
as we list, that we are offering these named Cam¬ 
ellias under three classes. 
We are fortunate possessor of Nouvelle Incono- 
graphae des Camellias published in 1848-1360 with 
more than five hundred natural colored illustrations 
with names and we will follow their names as far 
as possible. 
Many names, however, will have to be revised 
yet, and in order not to mislead you, we are illus¬ 
trating several types of flowers and by referring to 
them, you can form better ideas of what we mean 
by “peony form”, “very double”, etc. 
In our own experience which covers many years 
with thousands of Camellias, we found that pot 
bound Camellias are very slow to “take” to soil when 
transplanted in field or lawn, and often die back 
for two and three years after transplanted. We 
may offer some potted Camellias for Florists’ trade 
in future, but what we are offering now are for 
planting in open ground, and we are confident that 
bed grown Camellias lifted carefully with ball of 
earth, as we do, will make far better growth after 
transplanted in open field than pot bound stock. 
We have many thousands of bed grown larger 
size lining out Camellias with excellent root systems. 
We would like to call your attention to the illustra¬ 
tion of the root system of our Camellias on pages
