branches and branches growing’ too close together. (Gen¬ 
eral pruning should be done in the month of February, 
otherwise it may have an effect on the flower buds. 
SPRAYING ADVISABLE —Red spider and various scales 
may attack Camellias. We have been using "Volck, Jr," 
at the ratio of 1 to 40 in the summer and 1 to 25 in win¬ 
ter, mixing one teaspoonful of Black Leaf 40 to every 
gallon of solution. Thorough spraying twice a year 
controls these pests satisfactorily. The strong sun has 
to be avoided immediately after the spray, as it may 
cause the leaves to burn. 
We have a very much finer Camellia stock this season 
than heretofore, as it has made an extra vigorous growth 
during the summer. Our supply of some varieties, howe- 
ever, 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 possi¬ 
ble date, otherwise we may not be able to meet your 
valued demand 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 of the kind are of course 
the main reason for higher prices. 
GROUP ONE “A” 
GIRARD DE BAILLON —We believe this is the most 
charming Caniellia now in existence. The flower is not 
very large—3 to 3% inches in diameter with 12 to 15 
guard petals and 40 to 50 small petals intermixed 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. 
LEWIS’ RED PEONY —Real name is not fully identified 
as yet. We temporarily call it, therefore, with the above 
name. Flower double or semi-double, peonly type, 4 
inches or larger. Color, from brilliant red turning deep 
crimson with velvety tone. Blooms January to March., 
Very profuse and free bloomer.
