time to time—it will regain a healthy condition shortly. 
Potted Camellias generally are taken into the greenhouse, 
although it is not necessary to do so, where best results 
can be obtained by keeping them rather cool, at a tem¬ 
perature of 45 to 50 degrees at night and 50 to 55 during 
the day. When flower buds begin to swell, the tempera¬ 
ture may be increased 5 to 10 degrees. Excessive tem¬ 
perature and wide variation in temperature should be 
avoided. 
Careful attention is also invited to ventilation; if not 
properly ventilated, flower buds may drop. In the spring 
when danger of frost is over, remove the plant to the 
out doors into a partly shady spot. Bury the pot in the 
ground, allowing sufficient room for each plant. Care¬ 
ful attention during the summer months will present you 
with a healthy, vigorous plant with plenty of flowers 
next fall. 
We have a very much finer Camellia stock this season 
than heretofore, as it had extra vigorous growth during 
the summer. Our supply of some varieties, however, is 
limited, for numerous large orders have already been 
booked before the issuance of this catalogue. We suggest 
that you book your orders at the earliest possible date, 
otherwise we may not be able to meet your valued de¬ 
mand in the exact varieties and in the exact grades that 
you desire. 
Plants offered here are all pot-grown, with the excep¬ 
tion of large specimens. It is our strong belief that pot 
grown Japonicas are far superior to the plants taken 
from the ground. Plants from the pot can also be safely 
removed at any time of year. Our Camellia stock this 
year is listed in four Groups, prices of each group being 
different. Rareness of varieties, scarcity of the kind are 
of course the main reason of higher prices. 
GROUP ONE “A” 
GIRARD DE BAILLON —We believe' this is the most 
charming Camellia now in existence. The flower is not 
very large—3 to 3 y 2 inches in diameter with 12 to 15 
guard petals and 40 to 50 small petals intermixe*d with 
a number of yellow stamens very attractively formed. 
The color—white with dark crimson red, marking each 
other—gives a most charming appearance. It blooms 
from January to March. (See illustration of this flower 
in “Country Life”, March, 1934.) 
LADY HUME’S BLUSH —This is a very rare Camellia 
and one of the varieties most difficult to propagate. 
Medium flower, very full double, with delicate flesh 
pink. Leaves medium to large, thick, light color, large 
vein, distinctive. We have this year only small sizes 
to offer. 
NAGASAKI —Semi-double, very large flower, some meas¬ 
ure 5% to 6 inches in diameter. Bright red irregular¬ 
ly marked with white. Leaves medium to large, round¬ 
ish, thick and coarsely serrated, dark glossy green. 
Some have yellow variegation. Blooms January to 
February. 
TEUTONIA —(by Longview)—Full double, 3 V 2 to 4 inches 
in diameter, 75 to 80 petals, incurved tips overlapping 
• each other symmetrically. This makes its appearance 
resemble some chrysanthemum flower. The original tree 
produced various colors, such as very fleshy pink, white 
faintly striped with pink and bright red. Leaves small 
and rather narrow. With thick and coarse texture. 
Very slow, but compact grower. Blooms mid-season.
