stock plants. We have many more named and 
unnamed varieties too numerous to list. Mostly 
in specimen plants four feet and up. It is our 
aim to supply the consumer with the highest qual¬ 
ity plants possible to produce. We transplant our 
Camellias every 12 to 18 months, thereby produc¬ 
ing a fine fiberous root system. These plants can 
safely be moved any time from September to the 
First of May. We spray our Camellias regularly 
thereby eliminating scale pests which are so injur¬ 
ious to Camellias. 
We exercise the greatest care to keep our vari¬ 
eties separate, thereby avoiding consumers’ dis¬ 
appointment in supplying just what has been or¬ 
dered. 
Our Camellias are grown in muck soil. Balled 
and burlapped. We believe that field-grown Ca¬ 
mellias are superior to pot-grown plants, being 
more hardy, robust and stocky. Branching freely. 
Quick to get started after transplanting. 
We give a few hints to successfully grow Ca¬ 
mellia Japonicas.
