Stuartia pentagyna. 
'HIS the so-called American Camellia, is one of the most beautiful of all North 
American shrubs as well as one of the most rare, and has been much sought 
after for many years, being sparingly offered at times by a very few nurserymen in 
America and Europe. 
Highlands Nursery has disseminated it quite largely, and we beg to announce 
that we now have a splendid stock on hand for the first time in years, which is offered 
below. 
Stuartia pentagyna is the only American representative of the Tea and Camellia 
family which can be grown in the latitude of New England, and a few very fine clumps 
are now growing in the vicinity of Boston. It flourishes and flowers to perfection in 
the Arnold Arboretum, Jamaica Plain, Boston. 
It is an erect shrub, ten or twelve feet high, well foliag'ed and with large 
axillary flowers, three or four inches across, with white creamy petals, deeply crenulated 
on the margins and resembling those of some of the single Camellias. Altogether 
it is one of the finest of all shrubs for single or mass planting and thrives in damp 
situations as well as in drier garden soil. 
Stuartia pentagyna is worthy a place in the smallest and most carefully selected 
gardens, and we take the greatest pleasure in being able to offer this rare and beautiful 
shrub to our customers.
