The Camellias offered in this list and in the 
forthcoming catalogue, are winter-hardy, easy to 
grow and free-blooming, include only a few of 
the numerous fine varieties grown at 
LONGVIEW. 
This is not a complete list of those varieties 
that flower freely under wide fluctuations of ; 
temperature. We have many other sorts i 
equally as winter-hardy, but not in sufficient 
quantity to justify the expense of advertising 
them. Many are rare in commerce and are 
offered at what may seem a high price. 
But, considering their rarity, the time 
consumed in propagating them, in the years 
it takes to grow them to blooming size, their 
permanent and constantly increasing value, 
their price represents no more than a 
moderate profit.

CHEAP CAMELLIAS 
“Cheap things are of no value; valuable things are not cheap.” 
—An old Chinese proverb. 
We have some cheap, yes, very cheap in price. But they are equally 
poor in the quality of the individual blossoms, lacking freedom in the opening 
of buds, insignificant in form, poor in color. 
Plants of this inferior type we acquired six years or more ago, and their 
only value is as evergreens with glossy leaves for foliage ornamentals. 
Our best customers for plants and varieties of this inferior grade are 
truck-driving peddlers who huckster nursery stock through the South, and 
department stores which feature such plants at special sales. Camellias 
such as these, with stingy bloom of poor quality are the ones you cannot 
afford to buy. Their cost is high at any price. Such sorts as do bloom are 
without beauty or commercial value, bringing only disappointment and 
represent a waste of your time in their culture and a poor investment. It 
is amazing how many Camellias now being sold have little or no merit of 
any kind. 
Highly deceiving is the “economy” in permitting a cheap price to blind 
one to counterfeit horticultural names, misleading descriptions of color and 
plants, and an over-eagerness to make sales. 
Why take the risk of buying Camellias unlikely to flower or untrue to 
name and description? You can avoid that risk and be assured of the full 
value of every dollar of your investment by ordering from a specialist 
of reputation. At LONGVIEW, Camellias have been grown by a specialist 
since 1915. This is our only commercial product. 
That is why you can expect better treatment and be certain of getting 
the finest Camellias, not elsewhere obtainable, by purchasing from us. 
LONGVIEW Camellias are magnificent to behold, satisfactory to .own, 
thrilling to exhibit to friends. They lend nov'el charm to your garden or 
conservatory and descend to future generations as priceless heirlooms. You’ll 
never tire of growing grand Camellias with their perfect flowers, endless 
colors and color combinations, varied forms, glossy, waxlike foliage of regal 
splendor. For a gay, entrancing winter garden that truly reflects your love 
of the beautiful and enhances the warmth of your hospitality, grow 
LONGVIEW Camellias. They will bring you the richest thrills of life, 
renewing your enthusiasm every time they bloom.
