CAMELLIAS 
The aristocrats of the old colonial homes were the Japonicas and they still rank 
high. Their rich, glossy foliage and their wax like flowers of various colors makes 
them worthy a place in every well planned yard. The flowers, some perfect in form 
and some fluffy, bloom profusely during the cooler months of the year. They are slow 
growers and live to a good old age. 
Plants we offer are blooming size. 
Japonicas grow in value rapidly and often sell at very high prices. 
They require much the same treatment as Azaleas. They should be shaded for a 
year or so after being transplanted. They will well repay every care given them.
