VARIEGATED 
CAMELLIAS 
MONARCH, described and illustrated in May, 
1842 issue FLORISTS’ JOURNAL as a distinct deep 
red, with white variegations. Local nurserymen 
sell pink variety as MONARCH but have no au¬ 
thority for the correctness of their name. 
Limited number of well branched plants of this 
large loose peony type flower are offered at most 
reasonable prices.

Variously sold by southern nurserymen under name of MAII) OF 
ORLEANS, AMERICANA and COUNTESS OF OKNEY. These sam« 
nurserymen will continue changing the name from year to year if they 
expect to get additional sales. A beautiful flower, “if and when” the 
buds open fully. Sets numerous flower buds, few of which open satis¬ 
factorily. To buyers who wish to take a chance, we offer nice plants 
at most reasonable prices. The low cost is their best recommendation, 
however. 
We bought this stock from a nearby nursery a few years ago, on 
their advice that it was one of the finest Camellias they had seen.

TRICOLOR de SIEBOLD, introduced from the Orient in 1829 to Eu¬ 
rope, this semi-double Camellia has remained popular in commerce for 
more than 100 years as a garden variety. Also makes a distinctive 
conservatory plant, because of its free blooming qualities, and showy 
flowers. Sold sometimes under name of QUARTET. A name recently 
applied by one nurseryman who claims to be the greatest American 
authority on names of Camellias. True enough, the plants frequently 
produce four distinct types of flowers as far as color and color markings 
are concerned, yet the number of petals, form, structure and size re¬ 
mains the same. The latter name only adds to the present-day confu¬ 
sion of Camellia nomenclature.

LA PEPPERMINT. At least, that is the name under which the 
original stock was imported from France more than 20 years ago. The 
name is well adapted to a double flower variety of the formal type that 
typifies the old-fashioned peppermint stick candy in color combinations. 
Plants produce rose colored sports. 
As a florists cut flower, garden variety, or for conservatory culture, 
it brings charm and brilliancy to the atmosphere when it flowers. We 
have a limited stock, offered at a most reasonable price, considering 
the age of the plants.

Bryn Mawr, Fenna., December 16, 1936. 
The Camellias came in excellent condition and have rewarded me by 
coming in to bloom at once. They are truly lovely.
