A NEW INTRODUCTION

exceeding six feet in height and in bloom practically all summer, the long weeping 
branches with fern-like foliage, are literally covered with drooping clusters of brilliant 
tango-red, pea-shaped blossoms. The clusters are similar to wisteria in shape, and 
average five inches in length. Very showy when in bloom. Perfectly hardy in any 
climate. An introduction that is both rare and beautiful. Small trees, 30-36 inch, 
$1.50 each. Larger trees 3 to 4 feet high, $2.00 each. All trees will bloom the first 
year. Prepaid. Flowers shaped like locust blooms. Plant in full sun and do not 
culitvate in summer. 
CAMELLIAS 
These beautiful flowers are deserving of more attention from home gardeners. 
They require a position protected from extreme cold. Preferably an eastern exposure, 
with afternoon shade. They will repay a generous application of leaf mold or peat 
moss mixed well with the soil before planting. Cottonseed meal is an excellent 
fertilizer. One of the prime requisites in the culture of Camellias is to remember 
that absolutely no cultivation or stirring of the soil should be done at any time. 
Camellias are among the world’s most beautiful flowering evergreens. Varieties 
offered here are among the finest.
