Camellia Japonica. imported Plants. 
These are extremely scarce this year. We have, how¬ 
ever. been fortunate in having one of our European 
friends personally select some very fine plants for us. 
We expect to receive these during November. Will be 
able to supply the best named varieties in red, pink, 
white, crimson, and many beautiful variegated sorts, 
double and semi double. These Camellias have been 
purchased from reliable European growers, but we can¬ 
not guarantee that every plant of the colored varieties 
will come true to label. We purchase under these con¬ 
ditions and we have to sell under similar conditions; fur¬ 
thermore, some of the varieties of variegated Camellias 
will produce on the same plant, white, variegated, pink 
or red flowers.

NOTE—We may be able to supply some large speci¬ 
men plants of imported Camellias. These plants should 
vary in height from three to seven feet, or more, and 
be well-branched. Prices, description and sizes upon 
application. 
CULTIVATION OF CAMELLIAS. 
For Open Ground—To get the best results Camellias 
should be planted in a partially shaded situation, es¬ 
pecially where protected from the cold winds of winter 
and the hot, afternoon sun of summer. Any good gar¬ 
den soil is suitable, but if mixed with leaf mold and 
well-rotted cow manure better results will be obtained. 
The plants should be kept thoroughly mulched with well- 
rotted leaves. In this section the best time to transplant 
Camellias is from early October until middle of No¬ 
vember, and from middle of February to end of March. 
For Conservatories—Use a potting compost of peat 
or leaf-mold and good loam, and give ample drainage. 
When in growth, they require an abundance of water 
and spraying of the foliage. When dormant, water 
sparingly and keep in cool temperature. Fire heat is 
not needed except during excessively cold weather 
which would injure distending buds. Dropping of buds 
is caused by plants drying out, or by over-watering, or 
being kept in high temperature under glass. 
Cerasus. Carolina Cherry. 
Cerasus Caroliniana. ( Prunu* Carolmiana). MOCK 
Orange of the South. This well-known hardy ev¬ 
ergreen can be safely classed as a tree, as it attains 
a height from 20 to 40 feet. It is very desirable as 
a single specimen or for grouping, as it makes a 
most effective background in landscape work. Can 
also be pruned in standard, pyramidal, and other for¬ 
mal shapes. We offer a fine stock of thrifty, trans¬ 
planted plants. As the Carolina Cherry is difficult 
to transplant, it is always advisable to defoliate and 
cut back severely, and unless authorized to the con¬ 
trary all plants will be so treated before shipment.

Cinnamomum. Camphor. 
Cinnamomum Camphora ( Lauras Camphora). Cam¬ 
phor Tree. This desirable and beautiful tree is 
hardy at Augusta. In central Georgia there are some 
magnificent trees over 30 years old, and these have 
rarely been injured by frost. Along the Atlantic and 
Gulf Coast it is largely used as a shade tree for street 
and avenue planting. In Florida the Camphor is now 
being extensively and successfully planted for the 
extraction of gum. The tree is of a very rapid and 
stately growth; leaves bright, glossy green. The 
young growth is very attractive, as it is tinged with 
red which gives a most striking and pleasing ef¬ 
fect. The Camphor will do well on j>oor soil, but 
will give a most satisfactory growth when properly 
fertilized and when grown on well-drained soil. It 
does not thrive in wet situations. In transplanting,
